1. Think Water Filtration
Address: 14th St W, North Vancouver, BC V7M 1N9
Contact Details: +1 604 986 3942, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Closed on Saturday and Sunday
When it comes to water filters in Vancouver, most folks might mention Think Water Filtration. Pun not intended! What landed it on our radar was the popularity of its water filters for both homes and corporate spaces alike, especially offices.
Think Water’s products range from full filtration systems to simple coolers and chillers. A particular standout to us was their undersink filtration systems, which already included valves for hot or cold water and their very own faucet.
When we got to asking around about their services, most customers we spoke to reported quick installation times. The technicians would even adjust their water filters according to the measurements of the sink they were being installed in.
Regulars also praised the reliable follow-ups. The team would reportedly check in regularly to see whether the filter was working correctly after installation.
This made their annual maintenance services quite attractive, according to regulars we spoke to. It cut down on the hassle of finding and buying different water filters, since Think Water manufactures its own filters.
That being said, regulars did recommend booking services early, as it’s likely you’ll be waiting for a while to get your installation scheduled.
I greatly appreciate the excellent service
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Quinn from Think Water. The experience was fantastic! Quinn was super nice, explained the water filter system thoroughly, and left everything neat and tidy. I greatly appreciate the excellent service provided.”

The new filtration system works great
“Within a matter of days, he had dispatched Zac to complete the installation which only took about 1.5 hrs from start to finish. We are very pleased with the quality of the product and efficiency. The new filtration system works great.”

2. Trifecta Plumbing
Address: 1200 W 73rd Ave #1100, Vancouver, BC V6P 6G5
Contact Details:+1 604 256 1132, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Monday – Sunday: Open 24 hours
If you’ve ever had a drainage problem before in Vancouver, then you’ve likely already heard of Trifecta Plumbing. Though the company was originally known for their water line and drain cleaning, we just had to spotlight their water filter installation too.
Trifecta offers a variety of solutions for getting clean water, which came as a genuine surprise to us. The company offers both single-point water filters and full, whole-home systems that keep a steady flow of clean water everywhere with a tap in the home.
At first, we thought this variety could be pretty intimidating, so we were relieved to chat with staff and hear about their offered filters and the details of each one. Customers we spoke to also vouched for their recommendations, citing the reliability of the advice.
Customers also reported generally clean installations, with very little hassle and mess left afterward. Some especially praised the timely and punctual service, with the team starting and finishing installations in record time.
That being said, these services don’t come cheap. We’d definitely recommend planning and discussing a budget with the team before booking an installation.
Additionally, some customers mention feeling like the quotations could be more transparent. Some reportedly felt like the final price was higher than expected for what they got.
Prompt, friendly, presented clear options
“Luca was prompt, friendly, presented clear options and completed the work efficiently and cleaned up after himself. Work is guaranteed if I need a call back. It was a good ending to my drainage nightmare.”
– Mr. Peter Lang, Google Review
Their work ethic was amazing
“Luca and Zach were very professional and helpful. Their work ethic was amazing and answered our many questions patiently. They cleaned up after themselves and kept the work area tidy.”

3. Filterco Water Treatment

Contact Details: +1 604 677 6777, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Monday – Thursday: 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Friday: 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, Closed on Saturday and Sunday
Well, we’d be remiss not to mention Filterco Water Treatment. Filter is right in the name! This company tended to come up whenever we asked around about water filtration and treatment in general, so we just had to check them out.
Filterco’s offerings cover various factors of water treatment, whether you’re looking for clean drinking water or something more specific. Their water filters range in materials and specializations, from carbon filters to iron and even arsenic filters.
We got curious about whether they provided more custom filters, so we started chatting up customers. Most were happy to report that Filterco was accommodating of these requests, so we’d recommend consulting ahead of time.
It’s not hard to do this either, given that the team answers inquiries quickly. They did for us! Customers praised this speed in their installation too, with reportedly smooth services that left little to clean up after.
Where the service slows down is in the delivery of the necessary products, such as the actual filters and pumps needed to assemble the system.
In these cases, a word of advice customers left with us was to keep in close touch with the team to track your order better.
Did a great job throughout the process
“Just had an under the sink filtration with a hot/cold water dispensing system installed today. Julian and his team did a great job throughout the process providing detailed information and options that would meet our requirements.”
– Mr. Percy Cheung, Google Review
Filterco came through for us
“The installation process, communication and excellent service throughout the process has been outstanding. We had a very specific deadline to adhere to and Filterco came through for us, with excellence!”

4. Mr. Rooter Plumbing
Address: 202-5128 Victoria Dr, Vancouver, BC V5P 3V2
Contact Details: +1 604 433 5555, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Monday – Sunday: Open 24 hours
Now this one may be more familiar to folks around West or North Vancouver. Mr. Rooter Plumbing was pointed out to us by locals as a go-to for just about everything plumbing, including water treatment and filtration.
Mr. Rooter’s water filter and treatment systems stood out to us for the sheer range. Their most popular choice when we asked was simple in-wall water softeners, but they were happy to let us know of their more complex whole-house systems!
They provide this info to us without us having to ask much at all, which we found proactive on their part. Customers also praised the team’s consultations to determine which filters were best for their home.
This proactivity also extends to their team on the day of service, customers told us. Most were happy to praise their speed and professionalism during installations, explaining each step without compromising on the quality and time spent.
That being said, some customers mentioned facing delays in the invoices and quotations. This could set back the schedule a fair bit, so it can be inconvenient for customers.
Some also said that these services didn’t come at low prices, so we’d definitely recommend planning a budget ahead of time or consulting.
Helped me save money
“Parm was very professional and showed me what was happening throughout the whole process. Helped me save money also by letting me know some of the damage could be covered under insurance rather than out of pocket.”
– Mr. Michael Wang, Google Review
Showed up quickly to deal with an urgent issue
“These guys are great. Showed up quickly to deal with an urgent issue at our business. Took the time to fix the issue and diagnose the root cause. Very informative and professional. Will use them again.”
– Mr. Vikash Bhalla, Google Review
5. Lambert Plumbing
Address: 6741 Cariboo Rd #113, Burnaby, BC V3N 4A3
Contact Details: +1 604 734 0890, [email protected]
Operating Hours: Monday – Sunday: Open 24 hours
Thanks to four decades in Vancouver, it’s no wonder the locals pinged us about Lambert Plumbing. The company rose to fame among Vancouver residents for its quick response times, even during emergencies.
When we reached out, we found that Lambert Plumbing offers mainly whole-house water filtration systems. This does mean that if you’re looking for a smaller system, like a pitcher filler or in-wall ones, this might not be for you.
The first factor we appreciated was the upfront and transparent pricing. Even when we were just inquiring about their services, the staff were quick to think up a quotation. We find this pretty convenient for budgeting.
Customers we chatted with also praised the booking process and scheduling, with the team able to come either on the very same day or at least one day after the service was booked!
Regulras, on the other hand, praised the team’s advice above all. The staff reportedly left customers with concrete steps for maintaining their new water filter systems, and even prep for future installations.
However, some customers mentioned that appointments for consultations or even scheduled installations could get delayed on short notice, so we’d recommend keeping a clear schedule and regularly following up just in case.
Super professional, respectful, and kind
“He was amazing! Super professional, respectful, and kind. He got everything working again and even cleaned up after, which meant a lot. I didn’t catch his name, but I’m honestly so grateful.”
– Ms. Nadia C., Google Review
Exceptional work and courteous attitude
“We are customers of Lambert Plumbing for many years. The service and professionalism have always been of the highest standard. Special thanks to Jun for his exceptional work and courteous attitude.”
– Mr. Alexander Schwartzman, Google Review
