UV Purification
Ultraviolet light systems eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms from your water supply — chemical-free and highly effective.
Reverse Osmosis
Multi-stage RO systems for your kitchen tap — removes up to 99% of dissolved contaminants including nitrates, heavy metals, and fluoride.
Carbon Water Filters
Activated carbon filtration reduces chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, and unpleasant tastes and odors. Available as whole-home or under-sink units.
Water Softeners
Ion exchange softeners remove calcium and magnesium that cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances — extending the life of your plumbing and water heater.

What Coquitlam Homeowners Say
"Had a whole-home carbon filter and UV system installed after moving into our new home. HVAC Coquitlam did the water test first, explained what they found, and installed the right system. The difference in water taste is immediately noticeable."
"Installed a reverse osmosis system under our kitchen sink. The team was clean, professional, and explained every step. Best-tasting water we've ever had — the kids actually drink more water now."
"Our water was leaving white scale on everything. They recommended a water softener combined with a carbon pre-filter. Six months later — no more scale, appliances running better, and skin feels less dry after showers."
Water Purification FAQs
Is Coquitlam tap water safe to drink without filtration?
Yes — Coquitlam's municipal water meets all Health Canada drinking water guidelines. However, many homeowners choose to filter for improved taste and odor (chlorine), peace of mind about trace contaminants, or to address hardness and scale from older pipes. A water test helps identify whether filtration is worthwhile for your specific home.
What's the difference between a water filter and a water purifier?
Water filters (like carbon filters or sediment filters) physically remove particles and some chemical contaminants. Water purifiers go further — UV purifiers kill microorganisms, and reverse osmosis systems remove dissolved contaminants at the molecular level. For most Coquitlam homes on city water, a whole-home carbon filter is sufficient; UV or RO may be beneficial for specific concerns.
How much does a water purification system cost in Coquitlam?
A basic under-sink carbon filter starts around $300–$500 installed. A whole-home filtration system runs $800–$1,500. Reverse osmosis under-sink systems are $600–$1,200. UV purification systems start at $800–$1,500. Water softeners range from $1,200–$2,500. We provide exact quotes after your free water test.
How often do I need to replace filters?
It depends on the system and your water usage. Most sediment and carbon pre-filters are replaced every 6–12 months. RO membrane cartridges last 2–3 years. UV lamps are replaced annually. We can set up an annual maintenance schedule to handle replacements for you.
Will a water softener affect my blood pressure?
Ion exchange water softeners replace calcium and magnesium with sodium, which slightly increases sodium content. For most people this is negligible, but those on very low-sodium diets may prefer a potassium-based softener or a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen tap (which removes sodium) as an alternative. We discuss these considerations during our consultation.
