The first thing we'll do is talk to you about your specific water concerns: What is bothering you about your water, and what you might be looking for in the treatment line.

We'll take a sample from one or more places in your home. Depending on the issues with your water, the technician may be able to do all the necessary testing right on site. Or he may need to collect a sample and perform tests that can take a day or two.

When the results from that test are back, the technician will contact you and discuss what was found. Depending on your concerns, you may also have opted for additional testing to be performed by a government-approved lab, the results of which can take up to 10 days, depending on what is being scanned. Again, the technician would meet with you for a second time to talk to you about the system to be designed around your specific needs.

It's a simple question with a tough answer. It really depends on what's wrong with your water.

Dirty or smelly water can be caused by something as simple as sediment. While it may seem like a big deal when you have to drink or bathe in it, the solution is often simple and inexpenisive.

Other water contaimenants such as arsenic require more time and effort to remove. Treatment for most water problems can run from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand.

You can be sure, however, that we will provide you with a free, extremely accurate estimate. We pride ourselves on completing the job at or below the estimated price.

As a general rule, if you were to drink one gallon of water a day from water softened by a standard water softener the amount of salt added to that gallon of water is equivalent to the amount of salt in one slice of white bread. For people on a salt-reduced diet, a point-of-use reverse osmosis unit is often recommended after the water softener for drinking water.
