Water softener installation in Bucks County.

Hard water is the most common water problem we see in Bucks County. Calcium and magnesium picked up from the ground leave white crust on faucets and showerheads, spots on glasses and glass shower doors, and a layer of scale inside water heaters and appliances that makes them work harder and fail sooner.

A water softener removes those hardness minerals before they reach your plumbing. Every system we install is metered — it regenerates based on the water you actually use, not on a timer — so it uses less salt and less water than older units.

Signs you need a water softener

• White, crusty scale on faucets, showerheads and kettles
• Spots on dishes and cloudy glassware
• Soap and shampoo that won't lather
• Dry, itchy skin and dull hair after showering
• A water heater that rumbles or wears out early
• Frequent dishwasher, washer or ice-maker repairs

How it works

1. We test your water's hardness (and iron) in your home.
2. We size the softener to your hardness and household usage.
3. We install it at your main line with a bypass valve, drain and overflow.
4. We program it, test the softened water, and show you how it works.

What's included

• High-efficiency metered softener sized for your home
• Brine tank and first bags of salt
• Bypass valve so you can shut it off without shutting off water
• Drain and overflow lines run to code
• Before-and-after hardness test
• Walkthrough of settings, salt and maintenance

Water Softeners across Bucks County

Water hardness varies a lot across the county. Homes over the limestone of the Buckingham Valley (Buckingham, Lahaska, Holicong, Furlong) often see very hard water. Private wells in Upper Bucks commonly combine hardness with iron. Many public supplies in Central and Lower Bucks are hard enough to leave scale too. That's why we test first and size the softener to your water, not a sales chart.
