Malden Water Filtration, Clean, Safe Water at Every Tap

Malden’s water comes from the MWRA system, treated surface water from the Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs, and it leaves the treatment plant clean, soft, and disinfected. The bigger question is what happens between the street and your tap. Many Malden homes built before 1940 still have lead service lines or lead solder, and the city has an active lead service line replacement program underway. If you own an older home or multifamily, a free in-home water test tells you exactly what is in your water, and point-of-use filtration adds a verifiable layer of protection. Call (781) 630-5449.

It is genuinely free and there is no obligation. One of our technicians comes to your Malden home, collects samples right at your taps, and tests your water where it actually matters, at the point you drink and cook. We walk you through a clear report covering things like lead, hardness, and other contaminants, then explain your options in plain English. Only after we know what your water actually contains do we recommend a system, so you never pay for treatment you do not need. Call (781) 630-5449 to schedule.

Yes. In Malden, the source water is clean, so lead risk comes mainly from older interior plumbing, lead service lines, and lead solder common in homes built before 1940. Certified point-of-use filtration, such as an under-sink reverse-osmosis system, is designed to reduce lead at the tap where you drink and cook, giving you a verifiable safeguard while the city’s lead service line replacement program continues. We start with a free in-home water test to confirm what is present, then match the right system to your home. Call (781) 630-5449.

As certified BritaPRO installers, CleanTap installs whole-home filtration that protects every faucet, water softeners for hardness, and under-sink reverse-osmosis systems for crisp drinking water at the kitchen tap. For older Malden homes, we focus on lead and PFAS reduction matched to what your free water test shows. Every recommendation is right-sized to your actual water and your home, never a one-size-fits-all upsell. With $0-down financing available, a permanent filtered system is an affordable alternative to bottled water. Call (781) 630-5449 to get started.

Most Massachusetts public water meets federal standards, but “meets standards” doesn’t mean pure, chlorine/chloramine, disinfection byproducts, hardness, and in some areas PFAS or lead from older service lines can still affect taste, safety, and your appliances. Private wells aren’t tested by any utility at all. The only way to know what’s in your water is to test it, which is exactly why we offer a free in-home water test and a clear report.

We come to your home, test your water on the spot for the things that matter, hardness, chlorine, pH, iron, TDS and more, and walk you through a clear report of what we find. There’s no cost, no obligation, and no pressure. If treatment makes sense we’ll recommend the right system for your water and budget; if it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too. Call (781) 630-5449 to book.

A softener removes the calcium and magnesium that make water “hard”, the cause of scale, spotting, and appliance wear. A filter removes things like chlorine, sediment, taste, odor, PFAS, or lead. Many homes benefit from both, which is why we test first and design a system, softener, whole-home filter, drinking-water RO, or a combination, around your actual water rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Yes. PFAS and lead are best addressed with the right technology, typically reverse osmosis and/or specialized filtration media at the point of use or whole-home. We test your water, review your town’s data, and match a system proven to reduce those contaminants. If you’re on an older service line or in an area with PFAS detections, this is worth doing.

Yes. Under-sink reverse osmosis is one of the most effective ways to get clean, great-tasting water for drinking and cooking, removing a wide range of dissolved contaminants. We can pair a kitchen RO system with a whole-home softener or filter so you get treated water at every tap and the highest-purity water where you drink it.

As a general guide in Massachusetts, under-sink RO systems typically run about $300–$800 installed, water softeners about $1,500–$3,500, whole-home carbon/sediment filtration about $1,500–$4,000, and advanced whole-home PFAS/RO systems roughly $4,000–$10,000. The right system depends on your water and home, so we test first and give you an upfront, fixed quote. $0-down financing is available.

Yes, CleanTap is a certified BritaPRO installer, and we install BritaPRO whole-home systems along with other leading filtration and softening equipment. Because we’re not tied to a single box, we recommend what actually fits your water and your home after we test it, not whatever we happen to stock.

Almost always, yes. A household that buys bottled water often spends more over a few years than a good filtration system costs, and you skip the plastic, the lugging, and the storage. Whole-home and RO systems give you clean water at every tap for a fraction of the per-gallon cost of bottled, which is a big reason our customers make the switch.

Definitely. Private wells commonly have hardness, iron, manganese, sulfur odor, sediment, and sometimes bacteria or other concerns, and no utility monitors them for you. We test your well water, explain what we find, and design a treatment train, softening, filtration, disinfection as needed, to make it clean, clear, and safe at every tap.

Most systems just need periodic filter or media changes and occasional checks, which we make easy. We’ll tell you the schedule for your specific system up front, and we’re a local call away when it’s time. Good maintenance keeps your water quality high and protects your investment.

Yes. We offer flexible, $0-down financing on qualifying filtration and softening systems, so clean water fits your budget without a big up-front cost. We’ll go over the options with your quote after the free water test.
