What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Under-Sink Water Filter Cartridge Replacement?
Under-sink water filter systems typically use one or more cartridges to improve taste, odor, and basic water quality at a dedicated drinking faucet and sometimes a fridge line, such as:
Sediment filters – catch fine particles.
Carbon filters – help reduce chlorine, taste, and odor.
Specialty cartridges – for extra polishing or specific concerns, depending on the system.
Over time, cartridges:
Plug up with debris, which slows flow.
Lose effectiveness, letting more chlorine taste and odor through.
Can put stress on fittings and housings when left in service too long.
Replacing them restores good-tasting water and proper flow right where you drink it most.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Correct cartridges, correct order: We match size, type, and flow direction so each stage does its job.
Leak-conscious service: We shut off, change, and re-pressurize carefully to help prevent drips under your cabinet.
System check included: While we’re there, we can look at shutoffs, lines, and fittings for early issues.
Fridge/ice integration: If your under-sink filter feeds the fridge or ice maker, we make sure those lines are working too.
Local experience: We understand Las Vegas water and how it affects filter life and performance.

Common Situations Where Under-Sink Cartridge Replacement Makes Sense
It’s been 6–12 months or longer since the last change—or you don’t remember.
Filtered water at the sink tastes closer to tap water again.
Flow at the filtered faucet is noticeably slower.
You just moved in and inherited a mystery filter system under the sink.
You’re starting to see sediment or cloudiness even at the filtered tap.
System Identification & Shutoff
We look under your sink, identify what system you have and how it’s plumbed, then use existing shutoff valves or install one if needed to safely isolate the filter.
Depressurization & Housing Opening
We relieve pressure at the filtered faucet, then carefully open housings or quick-change heads, avoiding damage to plastic threads and fittings.
Old Cartridge Removal & Inspection
We remove the old cartridges, note their condition (sludge, discoloration, odor), and verify stage order so new filters go back in correctly.
Housing & O-Ring Check/Cleaning
We rinse housings, clean and inspect O-rings (replacing as needed), and make sure sealing surfaces are clean and properly seated to reduce leak risk.
New Cartridge Installation, Reassembly & Flushing
We install proper replacement cartridges, reassemble housings or quick-change heads, restore water, then flush the system to clear air and any initial carbon fines.
Leak Check, Flow Check & Maintenance Guidance
We check for drips or weeping under the sink, confirm smooth flow at the filtered faucet (and fridge, if connected), and explain when to replace cartridges again based on your usage.
What’s Included
A typical under-sink water filter cartridge replacement service may include:
On-site inspection of your under-sink filter system and shutoffs
Safe shutoff and depressurization of the under-sink filter line
Removal and disposal of old cartridges
Cleaning of housings and inspection/reseating of O-rings, with replacement if needed
Installation of new cartridges, followed by flushing, leak check, and flow test
Basic advice on replacement frequency and how your system works day to day
(Exact scope depends on system type, number of stages, and overall condition.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Cost and time depend on:
Number of stages: Single cartridge vs two- or three-stage systems.
Cartridge type: Standard sediment/carbon vs specialty or proprietary filters.
Access & condition: Open under-sink space vs tight, cluttered cabinets or older, corroded fittings.
Extras: Adding shutoff valves, addressing existing leaks, or checking any fridge/ice connections.
We’ll give you a clear estimate for labor and cartridges before starting and flag any recommended repairs or upgrades.
Insurance & Claims Help
Under-sink filters sit in tight spaces above cabinets and floors, so a cracked housing or fitting can cause hidden leaks.
If you ever have an issue:
We can identify which component failed (housing, fitting, line, or valve).
Provide itemized invoices and repair/replacement estimates.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your insurance adjuster, landlord, or property manager.
Coverage decisions are up to your insurer and policy; we provide solid plumbing documentation.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
New cartridges help a lot, but:
They don’t fix very old, brittle housings or stressed fittings—those may need replacement.
Standard under-sink filters primarily address taste, odor, and basic sediment, not all contaminants.
If you have concerns like PFAS, lead, or specific contaminants, you may need RO or specialty systems, not just basic cartridges.
If flow is still poor after new filters, we may need to check supply lines, valves, or the faucet itself.
We’ll be honest if your system is better upgraded or replaced instead of repeatedly patched.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-conscious work: Any shutoff or piping adjustments follow Nevada plumbing code and best practice.
Proper cartridge selection: We match size and type to your system and usage.
Careful sealing: O-rings are cleaned, inspected, and lightly lubricated where appropriate.
Clean workspace: We keep your cabinet area neat and dry while we work and when we’re done.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my under-sink water filter cartridges?
Many systems recommend every 6–12 months, but heavy use or local water conditions may require more frequent changes. We can suggest a schedule that fits your home.
Do under-sink filters remove all contaminants?
No single filter can. Under-sink filters typically focus on sediment and taste/odor (chlorine). For more advanced contaminant reduction, RO or specialty systems may be recommended.
Can you work on my filter even if you didn’t install it?
In many cases, yes. We frequently service existing under-sink systems from various brands, as long as compatible cartridges are available.
Will this affect my fridge water or ice?
If your fridge is fed from the under-sink filter, yes—new cartridges will also improve that water and ice. We can verify the connection during the visit.
What if my filter housing is cracked or leaking?
We’ll let you know if housings or fittings need replacement, and can quote you for new components or a full system upgrade if that’s the safer option.
