Common issues with well water include low pH (or acidic) water, mineral hardness that can cause damaging scale and skin irritation, iron that can cause rust stains, sulfur (rotten egg) odor, and bacteria which is odorless/colorless but harmful if ingested.
Public water is heavily chlorinated and relatively high in mineral hardness. Different types of carbon and membrane filters can treat additional concerns such as chloramine and PFAS, or even biological contaminants not corrected by chlorine alone.

Low pH is one of the most common issues in Chester County well water. Low pH, or Acid water can cause corrosion to copper and brass plumbing and fixtures as well as appliances and hot water heaters/furnaces.
Hard water its the amount of dissolved mineral in water and while not a health risk, it can leave unwanted scale on fixtures, appliances, dishes and even skin and hair.
For water that has bad taste, color, or odor, we offer a variety of filtration options to remove unwanted contaminants such as iron, manganese, and sulfides.
Coliform (and less commonly) e.coli are harmful bacteria that are sometimes found in wells and can can cause dysentery. An ultraviolet light kills coliform and e.coli and makes water safe for consumption.
Public water is heavily chlorinated in Chester County. Activated carbon will dechlorinate the water, making it healthier better tasting, and gentler on skin.
Reverse Osmosis, or R.O., is a point-of-use filter typically installed under a sink or in the basement feeding a fridge. R.O. can remove chlorine, fluoride, nitrates, many volatiles, and heavy metals such as lead.

Finding out the needs and expectations of our clients is an important first step. From here we can make recommendations and address any concerns regarding water quality.
Our baseline well-water test includes pH, iron, hardness, nitrates, and TDS. For bacteria testing we recommend Brandywine Science Center. For municipal water we test for hardness only, however, Aqua provides up-to-date water test information on their website.
In order to accurately quote a job we must see the job site and make a material list. It is important to see the proximity to sewer/septic line and electrical outlets and make sure there is enough room for proposed equipment.
