Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

"Mr. Rooter lied to me and didn't do the work they had been paid to do. I paid Mr. Rooter $4000 to replace the sewer line at my house. Their bid clearly stated, "replace sewer line from the house to the city main". Two years later I began having sewage backups. I discovered that Mr. Rooter's sewer line replacement stopped 3 feet short of the city main line. Those three feet now have root intrusion and need to be replaced. The owner, Jerry Enwald, sent me a letter admitting that their replacement did not go all the way to the city main line. He then claimed he talked to a City Inspector who told him "anything five (5) feet off of the City Main Line is considered the city main line". Therefor, he wrote, they had fulfilled the contract. This is like an Uber driver stopping five blocks from your house and saying "anything 5 blocks from your house is considered your house". It's untrue and it's fraud. I even talked to the city inspector who he quoted. The Inspector told me he never said anything of the sort. These people are liars and cons. Do not hire them. They underbid the competition by not actually doing the work."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

Yes, it is safe to bathe in yellow water. The iron or tannin content won’t harm your skin, and soap will clean you whether your water is clear or yellow. If you find bathing in yellow water problematic, you can ask a pro to inspect your plumbing and determine how to get your water clear again.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time.
