Well water in this area isn't one thing. Two houses a mile apart can need completely different treatment, and a softener sold off a truck without a test is a guess. We test the water first and size the equipment to what is actually in it.
Call and describe what it is doing. We'll tell you which one makes sense, including when the answer is repair the one you have.
(845) 853-6012Hardness, iron, manganese, pH and sulphur all change what equipment is right. A softener sized for hardness alone will fail on water with iron in it. We test before we recommend, and the results are what the estimate is built on.
A softener removes hardness minerals. A whole-house filter removes sediment and taste. UV kills bacteria. It doesn't remove anything, so it isn't a substitute for filtration, and filtration isn't a substitute for UV. Houses often need more than one, and you should know which does what before you buy.
The right softener depends on the hardness reading, the number of people and how much water the house uses. Oversizing wastes salt and water on regeneration; undersizing means you're back to scale. We calculate it rather than picking the middle option off a list.
Bypass valves, a drain that actually reaches, and a location you can get to for salt and service. A softener jammed into a corner with no bypass is a problem the day it needs attention. We install so the next person, us or anyone else, can work on it.
Sized to the tested hardness and the household's usage.
Sediment, taste and odour filtration at the point the water enters.
For well water that tests positive for bacteria.
Point-of-use treatment for drinking water at the kitchen tap.
We install and service this equipment. If you already own a different brand, we still repair and service it. Call the office and describe what you have.
We run emergency crews for plumbing, heating, septic and water treatment. Call and a dispatcher confirms your arrival window. We won't tell you an hour we can't keep.
We offer financing on water treatment installs. Ask for the payment terms with your estimate.
Based in Lake Katrine, NY. These are the towns our trucks cover every week.
Not always, but town water in this region varies and some of it is hard. A test tells you in a few minutes whether a softener would do anything for you. We would rather test and tell you no than sell you equipment you don't need.
It depends on the size of the unit, the hardness of the water and how much water the house uses, typically every few weeks to a couple of months. We'll tell you what to expect for your system after it is running.
A standard softener handles low levels of iron, but it isn't the right tool for significant iron or for sulphur. Those need different equipment. This is exactly why we test first. The wrong unit will disappoint you and cost more in the end.
Free estimate, a straight diagnosis, and a crew that shows up when we say we will.
