EPA’s national guide describes basic pitchers and tap filters as typically under $100, RO systems as tending to cost a few hundred dollars, and point-of-entry systems as costing thousands. These are broad categories, not constituent-specific or local quotes. Request a written quote from the independent provider for the exact equipment and work your property needs. Confirm the free test appointment, coverage, and scope with the provider; any installation or laboratory charges should be identified separately.

Use the serving utility’s current report and an appropriate state-certified laboratory for the specific metals of concern. Follow the sampling protocol because premise plumbing and sample timing can affect an address-specific result.
