Why Every Home Needs a Professional Water Treatment System

Clean water is essential to every aspect of daily life, from the water you drink to the water you bathe in, cook with, and use to wash your clothes and dishes. Yet, many homeowners are unaware of what’s actually in their water supply. Whether your home relies on well water or municipal sources, it’s common for harmful contaminants to be present in trace (or not-so-trace) amounts. A professional water treatment system isn’t just about improving taste or reducing hardness; it’s about protecting your family’s health, your plumbing system, and the performance of your appliances. At Advanced Radon Mitigation & Water Treatment, we specialize in custom solutions designed to purify and balance your water for total peace of mind.

Why Water Quality Matters More Than Ever

Water may look clear, but appearances can be deceiving. Unfiltered water can contain a range of contaminants, including iron, arsenic, radon, manganese, chlorine, nitrates, and increasingly, PFOA—one of the most concerning substances found in New Hampshire’s groundwater. Some of these pollutants pose immediate health risks, while others gradually affect your plumbing, appliances, and even the taste and smell of your water. A properly installed water treatment system removes these unwanted substances, providing clean, safe, and high-quality water throughout your home.

For homes that use private wells, the risk is even greater. Unlike municipal water, well water isn’t regulated or treated before it enters your home. That means the responsibility to ensure clean water falls entirely on the homeowner. Even public water sources can carry trace levels of contaminants like chlorine, lead, and industrial chemicals, making a home filtration system a smart and proactive choice.

Common Water Contaminants

• Iron – Causes orange staining and a metallic taste
• Manganese – Leaves black staining on fixtures
• Arsenic – A naturally occurring carcinogen found in many NH wells
• PFOA – A dangerous PFAS compound linked to cancer and immune issues
• Uranium – Naturally occurring, radioactive, and hazardous to the kidneys
• Hardness (calcium/magnesium) – Reduces appliance efficiency and damages plumbing
• Chlorine – Common in municipal water, adds an unpleasant taste and smell
• Bacteria – Can lead to illness and require disinfection treatment

How a Water Treatment System Works

A water treatment system is designed to filter out or neutralize contaminants before they enter your household plumbing. Depending on the specific issues in your water, your system may involve a single technology or a combination of several. At Advanced Radon Mitigation & Water Treatment, we install systems customized to your home’s water chemistry and layout—ensuring both high performance and long-term reliability.

Types of Water Treatment Systems We Install:

• Water Softeners – Remove calcium and magnesium to reduce hardness
• Iron & Manganese Filters – Eliminate staining and metallic taste
• Arsenic Removal Systems – Provide protection against one of New Hampshire’s most common and dangerous well water contaminants
• PFOA Removal Systems – Address the urgent concern of “forever chemicals” found increasingly in local water supplies
• Uranium Removal Systems – Specialized treatment for radioactive contaminants in well water
• Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems – Remove a wide range of impurities, perfect for drinking and cooking water
• Radon in Water Aeration Systems – Eliminate dissolved radon before it enters your plumbing
• UV Disinfection Systems – Neutralize bacteria and viruses without chemical additives
• Activated Carbon Filters – Absorb chlorine and improve taste and smell

By combining these technologies, we’re able to deliver a comprehensive solution that transforms the quality of your water, improving everything from your morning shower to your morning coffee.

Signs You May Need a Water Treatment System

You don’t need to wait for a major issue to arise before considering water purification. Here are some signs that your water could benefit from filtration or conditioning:

• Strange odors like rotten eggs, chlorine, or mustiness
• Discoloration or staining in sinks, tubs, toilets, or laundry
• Bad taste in drinking water or food
• Dry skin or brittle hair after bathing
• Soap scum or film on dishes and fixtures
• Plumbing issues caused by scale or corrosion
• Rapid wear and tear on water-using appliances
• Your home is near industrial, agricultural, or high-risk groundwater areas

If any of these sound familiar, installing a professional water treatment system can make a dramatic difference in your home’s comfort and health.

Top Benefits of Installing a Water Treatment System

A water treatment system isn’t just about health and hygiene; it offers a wide range of benefits that improve your home life and save you money over time. Here are some of the top advantages:

1. Healthier Drinking Water

Reduce exposure to contaminants like arsenic, PFOA, radon, and bacteria that may pose long-term health risks, especially to children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals.

2. Better Tasting Food and Beverages

Filtered water improves the taste of everything from pasta and vegetables to coffee and tea by eliminating metallic, chemical, or mineral flavors.

3. Protects Plumbing and Appliances

Hard water minerals and iron can clog pipes, corrode fixtures, and shorten the lifespan of dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters. Treated water helps appliances perform better and last longer.

4. Softer Skin and Hair

Softened water helps your skin and hair retain moisture, reduces the need for lotions and conditioners, and eliminates soap scum that can dry out your skin.

5. Cleaner Laundry and Dishes

Water free from minerals and staining agents means brighter clothes, cleaner dishes, and fewer water spots.

6. Environmental Benefits

With clean, safe tap water available at home, you can reduce your reliance on bottled water, cutting down on plastic waste and pollution.

7. Increased Property Value

A professionally installed water treatment system is a major selling point for future buyers, especially in areas where groundwater concerns are widely known.
