In a city where farm-to-table menus, rooftop gardens, and reusable water bottles are a way of life, it’s no surprise that San Francisco residents care deeply about what they’re putting in their bodies — and that includes the water flowing from their taps. Whether you’re brewing a fresh pot of coffee in your Mission District kitchen or giving your pup a drink while on a walk, you want to trust the water is clean and good for your health. Unfortunately, tap water — even when municipally treated — can still carry sediment, chlorine, bacteria, and other unwanted particles that affect both taste and wellness.
That’s where we come in. At Magic Plumbing, our plumbing service pros help San Francisco homeowners elevate their water quality through advanced water filtration systems designed to remove impurities and enhance usability.
From reverse osmosis systems to activated carbon filters and whole-home water softeners, we’ve got a solution for every need and budget. Clean water is a necessity, and it starts with the right system tailored to your water supply. Go ahead and give us a call!
Although San Francisco boasts some of the best municipal water in the United States, it’s not immune to pollutants. With aging infrastructure, rusting pipes, and occasional water quality fluctuations, contaminants such as lead, chlorine, bacteria, and sediment can still make their way into your home’s plumbing. Not to mention the microplastics, heavy metals, and pharmaceutical traces that escape standard water treatment processes.
Installing a water filtration system adds an extra layer of protection, filtering out harmful particles and bacteria from your water supply before they reach your glass, sink, or showerhead. This means improved drinking water quality, healthier skin and hair, and longer-lasting appliances. If you’ve noticed an odd odor, residue on your dishes, or hard water stains in your bathroom, your home could benefit from upgraded water filtration. Plus, cutting down on bottled water use reduces waste and supports your environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Magic Plumbing tailors each installation to match your specific water quality, household needs, and lifestyle. Here are the most popular water filtration systems we install in homes across the San Francisco Bay Area:
These systems use a semipermeable membrane to remove up to 99% of total dissolved solids, including lead, mercury, fluoride, arsenic, bacteria, and viruses. Ideal for homeowners seeking ultra-purified drinking water, reverse osmosis (RO) filters are often installed under the kitchen sink or paired with a dedicated water dispenser.
Perfect for removing chlorine, sediment, and odors, activated carbon systems use adsorption to trap contaminants and improve taste. These are often found in countertop units, pitchers, and refrigerator water filters, and they’re effective at improving the flavor of cooking water and coffee.
If you’re looking for a solution that protects every drop of water in your home — from the shower to the washing machine — a whole-home water filtration system is your best bet. These systems typically combine sediment filters, carbon filters, and optional UV filters to treat water as it enters the house.
Hard water is a common complaint across the Bay Area. If you’re dealing with calcium or magnesium buildup that’s damaging your pipes, water heater, or even your skin, a water softener can help. These systems use ion exchange technology to reduce hardness, improving everything from water pressure to appliance lifespan.
Clean water does more than quench your thirst. It impacts your health, home, and wallet in ways you may not realize.

If you’re noticing a strange taste or smell in your water, it could be a sign of contaminants. Additionally, if your home has hard water, which leaves deposits on fixtures and affects the efficiency of appliances, a water filtration system could be beneficial. Regularly experiencing dry skin or hair after showers can also indicate hard water, suggesting a need for a filtration system.
Maintenance requirements vary depending on the type of system you have. Generally, filters need to be replaced periodically — sediment filters every few months, carbon filters every six months, and reverse osmosis membranes every two to three years. Water softeners require regular replenishment of the salt in the brine tank. It’s best to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and schedule regular check-ups with a professional.
The lifespan of a water filtration system can vary based on the type and usage. Generally, most systems can last between five and 15 years with proper maintenance and regular filter replacements.
While some simpler systems can be installed by handy homeowners, professional installation is recommended for whole-house systems and more complex setups. This guarantees that the system will be installed correctly and function properly, giving you the best water quality.
