Measure Hardness First
Do not buy a softener because of geography alone. Measure the hardness at the home and account for iron, household size and peak flow.
Public Water Can Still Be Hard
A public system may meet all drinking-water standards and still have mineral hardness that a homeowner prefers to reduce for scale and soap performance.
How Colonial Approaches It
Colonial Water Solutions begins with the home and the water. We use on-site evaluation, collect certified-laboratory samples when necessary, explain the findings, and recommend treatment only after the problem is understood.
