Home Water Treatment Systems
Water is among our most basic needs. We use the water in our homes for cooking, drinking, bathing, and keeping our yards green. But, sometimes, you will find that your Connecticut well water needs some help before you can happily use it straight out of the tap for all your household needs. Home water treatment systems can ensure that your water is both suitable and safe for all your household requirements. A few of the ways we can improve the water in your home are:
Water Softening
Do your dishes not rinse well? Do you need to use large amounts of soap or shampoo to get suds in the shower? Have you had problems with coffee makers that clog and break? Your problem could be hard water.
Well water is considered hard when the content of minerals like calcium and magnesium is high. Because of Connecticut's bedrock, hard water is extremely common. Signs of hard water include:
- Bathtub rings
- Soap scum left behind in bathtubs or sinks
- Pipes that get clogged with mineral buildup
- White spots on shower doors and dishes
- Higher water heating costs due to mineral buildup
- Clogged shower heads
- Dry, itchy skin
- Dull, frizzy hair
A simple test can reveal your water's mineral content. A water softener exchanges pesky hard water minerals with potassium or sodium, allowing your appliances to work more efficiently and protecting your pipes. And you spend less time cleaning and scrubbing the bathroom!

Iron Filtering
High iron content in your water can leave behind red and orange stains in your bathtub, sink, and clothes—anything your iron-loaded water touches. It can also cause your well water to have a harsh and metallic taste. If you taste “copper pennies” when you drink—your water could have iron. By filtering out the iron, you can make your drinking water more pleasant and eliminate irritating rust stains. Mother Nature puts the iron in your water—but we can take it out!

Odor Removing Sulfur System
Does your water sometimes smell like rotten eggs? Do you dread drinking it or brushing your teeth with it? This can be due to its high sulfur content. Our sulfur-removing water treatment system instantly removes hydrogen sulfur from the water without the use of added chemicals.

Acidic Water Solutions
In some cases, the pH balance of your well water is off, causing a metallic taste and, worse still—potential damage to your pipes and appliances. How would you know? If your water tastes like copper or metal, it might very well be your pipes being dissolved by the acid water. The tell-tale sign is blue-green stains in your bathroom. That is the pretty copper hue from your pipes dissolving. Investing in a home water treatment system to neutralize acid water is a smart move when you have acid water. Not only will it protect your pipes, but it also will significantly improve the taste of your water.

Safe Drinking Water
Is your water safe? You can’t answer that because you wouldn’t know unless you test or treat it. Our water treatment services in Connecticut can also include services to make your water safer and healthier for your family. Ultraviolet light treatments can kill microorganisms. Reverse osmosis and radon mitigation can remove harmful chemicals and minerals, leaving fresh, clean, safe-to-drink water for your family and pets.

Sediment Filters
Dealing with gritty sediment? We have a fantastic, easy-to-change sediment filter that has TWO filters in one. That means it filters out MORE sediment than other types AND it maintains a better flow rate—leaving behind fresh and clear water for your family.
