Coway Water Purifier Rental in Illinois

■ Illinois Water and Why It Matters

Chicago and the surrounding suburbs draw from Lake Michigan, which is about as much fresh water as anyone could ask for. Supply has never been the problem here.

The pipes are. Chicago required lead service lines in new homes until 1986 — required, not merely allowed — and the city has more of them still in the ground than anywhere else in the country.
Replacement is underway and will take decades. If your building predates the mid-80s, there is a reasonable chance lead is part of the path between the water main and your kitchen sink.

Coway's RO system filters heavy metals and fine contaminants at the point of use. For an older Chicago two-flat or a vintage apartment, that is the practical answer while the city works through the larger problem.

Winters here are long, and they are spent indoors with the heat running and the windows shut. An air purifier matters more in that kind of climate than people expect.

■ Rental Details
