Beacon Water Equipment has been proudly owned by the same local family for three generations. We are determined to give you the highest quality water treatment equipment with the longest warranties, best prices, and best customer service in the area! Equipment is built especially for you upon order and can normally be installed within one week. We are currently servicing Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Madison, Otsego, Tioga, and Tompkins Counties in New York and Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. We can ship replacement filters and other replacement parts anywhere in the US. If you are in the local area, you can stop in with a water sample during our regular office hours for a free water quality test. We will test for hardness, pH, iron, manganese and sulfur (rotten egg smell), with no pressure to buy. If these times aren't convenient for you please call 607-648-5248. To collect a sample for a water quality test you can use an old 16 oz soda bottle, or similar container. Be sure to rinse the container thoroughly before collecting the sample and allow the water to run for about two minutes prior to filling your container. Bring your container in as soon as possible. If you can't bring it in immediately store it in the refrigerator. After 24 hours, you will need to take a new sample. New York State mandates that bacteria tests are to be done by a certified laboratory. We have bacteria test bottles on hand from Microbac Laboratories, Inc. (Monday through Friday) and Sullivan County Labs (Tuesday and Thursday) and samples are picked up at Beacon Water by their private couriers on the days noted at 1pm.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

The best way to soften hard water in the shower is with a water softening system. These whole-home softeners help remove minerals from the water as it enters your home. If you’re looking for a more affordable, shower-specific solution, install a water-softening showerhead to filter water as it’s coming out. With a water softening solution in place, you may find a reduction in mineral deposits as well as cleaner-feeling hair and skin.

You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.
