What we install

Water Treatment Services in Massachusetts

Every system below is the right answer for some Massachusetts homes and the wrong answer for others. The free test is what tells us which one is yours — and sometimes the answer is that you don't need any of them.

Whole-Home Filtration

One system on the main line, so every tap, shower and appliance in the house gets treated water — not just the kitchen sink.

  • Installs atMain water line
  • Typical media life5–7 years
  • Service flow7–15 GPM

Water Softeners

Hard water is a real problem in central and western Massachusetts — and genuinely not a problem in most of Greater Boston. We test before we sell.

  • Hardness tested inGrains per gallon
  • Softener sizingBy gpg × household
  • Salt use~40 lb / 4–8 weeks

PFAS Removal

Massachusetts sets a drinking water standard of 20 parts per trillion for six PFAS compounds combined. Here's how to find out where you stand, and what actually removes them.

  • MA standard (PFAS6)20 ng/L combined
  • Lab requiredMassDEP-certified
  • Proven mediaGAC, ion exchange, RO

Well Water Treatment

On a private well, you are the water utility. No state agency tests your water, and no one sends you a report. Here's how to do the job properly.

  • Wells in MA~200,000
  • Regulated byLocal Board of Health
  • Arsenic MCL10 ppb

Reverse Osmosis

The most complete treatment available at a single tap — and the right answer for lead and PFAS in Greater Boston homes with older plumbing.

  • Installs atKitchen sink
  • Membrane life3–5 years
  • Pre/post filtersEvery 6–12 months
See how it works

Iron & Manganese

Orange staining is iron. Black specks and grey laundry are manganese. Both are common in Massachusetts groundwater, and both need oxidation — not just a filter.

  • Iron stains above0.3 mg/L
  • Manganese stains above0.05 mg/L
  • MethodOxidation + filtration
See how it works

UV Disinfection

A positive coliform result on a private well is a fixable problem — but UV only works on water that's already clear, which is why it always goes last.

  • TreatsColiform, E. coli, cysts
  • Dose≥40 mJ/cm²
  • Lamp changeAnnually

Carbon Filtration

The workhorse media behind almost every good-tasting glass of water. But there are two kinds, and Massachusetts needs the expensive one.

  • Media typesGAC & catalytic
  • Chlorine removal>95%
  • Media life5-7 years
See how it works

City Water Treatment

Your town treats the water to a legal standard. That standard stops at the property line, not at your glass.

  • MA PFAS6 limit20 ng/L
  • Arsenic MCL10 ppb
  • Lead action level15 ppb

How it goes

Test first. Quote second. Install third.

In that order, every time. It is the only way to know whether you need a three-thousand-dollar system or a two-hundred-dollar one.

  1. Free in-home water test

    We measure hardness in grains per gallon, pH, chlorine or chloramine, iron and total dissolved solids at your tap, and look at your plumbing, water heater and any existing equipment. About 45 minutes, no obligation. Where it's warranted, PFAS, arsenic, radon and bacteria go to a MassDEP-certified laboratory — quoted before any sample is taken.

  2. Straight answers, in writing

    Every number read against its standard, what it means for your house, and what we'd do about it. Including the cases where the answer is that you don't need anything from us — which in MWRA communities happens often.

  3. Installed, tested, and proven

    Licensed, insured, permitted where your town requires it, and sequenced correctly: sediment, oxidation, softening, specialty media, then UV. We re-test after commissioning, because a system nobody verified is a hope rather than a treatment.

Free in-home water test

Find out what's actually in your water

The in-home test is free, takes about 45 minutes, and ends with a written report — including the parts where the answer is that you don't need anything from us.

  • Hardness in grains per gallon, pH, chlorine or chloramine, iron and TDS — measured at your tap.
  • PFAS, arsenic, radon and bacteria through a MassDEP-certified laboratory, quoted before any sample is taken.
  • Every number read against its standard, in writing, with no obligation.
