J.R. Snider Before & After Photos

Mr. J. called us when he wanted a second opinion on options for replacing his older water treatment system.

After testing the water and comparing the results with what was originally installed, it was agreed that the existing system was over-designed and oversized for what was needed. We also determined that several components of the system were not even needed.

Both the quality of the water as well as the usage was within what standard residential equipment could address. Once we explained that smaller units could provide the same quality water and would cost significantly less it was not a hard choice for the customer to make.

Our water treatment supervisor Joe S. made quick work of the replacement.  He installed a Care Soft Elite resin water softener and a “ONE” tank cartridge filter.  The addition of a ultraviolet disinfection system provides protection against harmful bacteria.

Mr. J. had some dated equipment that was no longer working and wanted us to come out to test his water and make recommendations. 

We installed a new 50-gallon electric water heater and new WaterCare CareSoft Elite in a small closet area. Even though space was an issue we were still able to get the job done. 

Mr. J had us install water treatment in his house earlier in the year. He was so happy with the quality of his water he wanted us to install a new system in his barn for the apartment. 

We installed a new 50-gallon electric water heater, a WaterCare 1354 Ion Air Cat, and a pre-filter to remove the sediment.
