Water Treatment FAQs
Do I really need to treat my well water in PA or MD?
Yes, almost always. Unlike city water, private wells in York, Carroll, and Adams Counties are not regulated or treated by the EPA. This means you are responsible for removing naturally occurring contaminants like iron, manganese, bacteria, and nitrates. Without treatment, these can damage your plumbing, stain your fixtures, and even pose health risks.
My water smells like rotten eggs. What causes that?
That distinct "rotten egg" smell is caused by hydrogen sulfide gas (sulfur). It is extremely common in wells throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania. While usually not harmful to your health, it makes showering and drinking unpleasant and can corrode silverware and copper pipes. We install specialized air injection or chemical oxidation systems to eliminate the odor completely.
What is the difference between a Water Softener and a Water Conditioner?
Water Softeners specifically remove calcium and magnesium (hardness) using salt or potassium. They are the best solution for preventing scale buildup in pipes and appliances. Water Conditioners (often salt-free) change the structure of minerals so they don't stick to pipes, but they do not remove them. They also typically handle other issues like chlorine or biological growth. Recommendation: For the very hard water in Hanover and Littlestown, a traditional salt-based softener is usually the most effective choice.
How often should I replace the UV light bulb in my system?
You must replace your UV lamp once every 12 months, even if it is still lighting up. Over time, the UV intensity degrades and loses its ability to kill bacteria effectively. We recommend keeping a spare bulb on hand or scheduling annual maintenance with us to ensure your water remains safe to drink.
Will a water softener make my water taste salty?
No. A properly working water softener adds a very trace amount of sodium—hardly enough to taste. For comparison, a slice of white bread has more sodium than a gallon of softened water. However, if you are on a strict low-sodium diet, we can install a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system under your kitchen sink to remove that sodium (and everything else) for pristine drinking water.
Why do I have blue-green stains in my sink and bathtub?
Blue-green stains are a tell-tale sign of low pH (Acidic Water). This acidic water is eating away at your copper pipes, dissolving the metal and depositing it onto your fixtures. If left untreated, this will cause pinhole leaks throughout your home, leading to expensive plumbing repipes. We install Acid Neutralizers to balance the pH and stop this corrosion immediately.
How does a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system work?
An RO system forces water through a microscopic semi-permeable membrane that catches contaminants as small as an atom. It effectively removes 99% of dissolved solids, including lead, arsenic, nitrates, sodium, and fluoride. It is the gold standard for drinking water and is typically installed under the kitchen sink with a dedicated faucet.
How much does a water treatment system cost?
The cost varies significantly because every well is different. One home might only need a simple sediment filter ($), while a neighbor might need a softener, acid neutralizer, and UV light ($$$). We don't guess—we offer a Free Water Test to analyze your specific water chemistry. This allows us to quote you a price for exactly what you need, with no unnecessary upsells.
What is meant by water treatment?
Water treatment is the process of removing unwanted substances from water to make it safe and suitable for its intended use, such as drinking, industrial use, or environmental discharge.
