Water Conditioning and Filtration Near Harrisburg, PA

Are you worried about your home’s water quality? That’s completely understandable — while we love Pennsylvania, a third of our state’s waterways are polluted. Consider that 89% of streams do not meet water quality standards in Lancaster County. Agricultural runoff is a major source of water pollution throughout central Pennsylvania.

Many of the region’s homeowners also experience hard water. Hard water is caused by minerals that dissolve in the water supply, leading to deposit buildup in pipes and appliances. It also makes it challenging to remove soap and detergent, leaving a slimy residue behind.

At Zimmerman Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we care about the quality of the water your family is using for daily needs. To guarantee your home has the best quality water available, we offer several options for water conditioning and filtration installation to residents in the West Shore, Hershey, Carlisle and Greater Harrisburg areas.

Water Filtration Installation Services

If you’re concerned about your home’s water quality, ask one of the professionals at Zimmerman to perform a water quality test. If your water quality is less than ideal, we can help you install a new water filtration system that improves it by removing chlorine and other harmful chemicals.

We offer several filtration products that can easily fit your needs and budget, including:

Whole-House Water Filtration

A whole-house water filtration system filters water as it enters your home, improving the water quality throughout your house. Whether you’re cooking, drinking or showering, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your water is cleaner and healthier with a whole-house system.

Our filtration products clear chemicals, contaminants and bacteria from your water, neutralize acids and improve the taste and smell of your home’s water supply. A Zimmerman technician will evaluate your current water supply system and water quality and consider your concerns before recommending a solution that meets your needs.

Drinking Water Filtration System

A drinking water filtration system removes contaminants from a single faucet in your home. Typically, these systems are installed at the kitchen sink to provide clean, tasty water for drinking and cooking. You can have a filtration system installed under your sink to filter large volumes of water without taking up space on the counter or faucet spout.

Various types of filters are available for under-sink systems, and the best one depends on the contaminants you wish to remove. A reverse osmosis filter, for example, can effectively remove bacteria, viruses and many types of chemicals. This type of filter will greatly improve your water quality.

While one of our technicians is installing a new water filtration system in your home, ask about our planned maintenance services to ensure your unit stays efficient and operational for years to come.

Water Filtration Benefits

When you hire us to install a water filtration system and allow us to maintain it for you, you’ll enjoy benefits beyond great-tasting water free from contaminants. These additional benefits include the following:

Saves money: People often hesitate to install a water treatment system because they’re worried about the upfront cost. By installing a water filtration system, you can save money over the long term by not having to purchase bottled water or expensive filtration pitchers.
Improves your health: Because it removes particulates from the water you consume and use, a water filtration system can help you fight off illness and disease. With clean water boosting your immune system, a water treatment system can enable you to enjoy better health and an improved sense of well-being.
Makes food healthier: Your water quality is paramount when preparing and cooking food at home. If you prepare or cook food with untreated water, your food may become contaminated with things like bacteria, lead or chlorine. Installing a water filtration system allows you to ensure the food you prepare and cook at home is healthier and free from harmful substances.
Protects the health of others: Young children and people with compromised immune systems may be overly sensitive to substances like lead, and they might be unable to fight off bacteria that can cause an illness. You can protect their health by installing a water filtration system and keeping it well-maintained.

Water Softening and Conditioning in Central PA

How can you tell when you need water softener or conditioning services? Common signs of hard water in your home include:

A white, scaly mineral build-up on your faucets
Persistent soap scum on tubs and showers
Dull and itchy clothing
Dry skin
Low water pressure
Appliances that wear out faster than average
Stains on your dishes and glasses

Water Softening Solutions

At Zimmerman Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we offer several water softening and conditioning products to remove the effects of hard water in your home, including:

Whole-house water conditioners: These water softeners continuously provide improved water throughout your home, removing water hardness — including iron — correcting water pH and controlling odors. By having soft water, you can expect to use less dish soap, bathing products and laundry detergent. You’ll likely also notice softer skin, hair and clothes.
Ultraviolet (UV) purifiers: Ultraviolet water products use UV light to achieve potable requirements and destroy water contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses and micro-organisms that may be present.

Water Softening Benefits

While using less detergent and having softer, less itchy skin may motivate you to seek out our water softening and conditioning services, you’ll enjoy even more meaningful benefits by using our products. Here are some of them:

Lower expenses: Soft water doesn’t have the minerals that cause build-up in pipes and appliances. For this reason, having soft water can minimize the amount you’ll need to pay to clear pipes and repair or replace appliances like your dishwasher, refrigerator, water heater, coffee maker or washing machine.
Brighter, softer clothes: Hard water can wreak havoc on clothes, causing whites to appear dull and resulting in colors that fade too quickly. With soft water, your clothes will appear brighter, and they’ll be softer to the touch.
Reduced cleaning time: As we mentioned earlier, hard water can cause build-up on faucets and leave you battling soap scum in your tubs and showers. If you use our water softening and conditioning services, you’ll spend less time cleaning because those things won’t be the persistent problems they are in homes with hard water.
