Water Softener & Filtration Systems

Many homeowners assume municipal tap water is already the quality they want. Unfortunately, that's not a given. The best way to determine the quality of your water and discover which water treatment systems may benefit your home and family is to have a free home water quality test conducted by your local Roto-Rooter expert.

Different water quality concerns present with different symptoms. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms below, or have any concerns about the safety of your water, we recommend scheduling a free home water quality test:

• Chlorine taste & odor
• Mineral build-up on fixtures
• Reduced flow & pressure
• Poor appliance performance
• Spotty & filmy glassware/dishes
• Cloudy, murky water

Roto-Rooter is happy to install a water treatment system purchased from another retailer! However, we don't recommend purchasing your own water treatment system without first consulting a qualified water quality specialist like Roto-Rooter. Your home's water treatment needs will depend on several factors including water hardness, number of people in the home, and water consumption. Your Roto-Rooter expert can help determine the best solution to meet your family's needs.

Water softeners and water filtration systems are very different. Softeners address hardness by reducing the levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium found in your home’s water. However, if your water is unsafe to drink prior to softening, it will still be unsafe once softened. A water filtration system can reduce these potentially harmful contaminants and ensure clean, safe water for you and your family. However, it will do nothing to address the formation of scale. Whether or not you need both systems will depend on the results of your free home water quality test and your personal water quality concerns.
