Water Treatment

Better water quality for your home for New Jersey homes

Water Treatment & Water Softener Services in Somerset County, NJ

Water quality isn't something you notice until there's a problem—hard water buildup on fixtures, sulfur odors, staining, or concerns about what's coming through the tap. At NJ New Era Plumbing & Heating, we provide water treatment and water softener services throughout Somerset County and Central New Jersey, helping homeowners improve water quality, protect plumbing systems, and enjoy cleaner, better-tasting water throughout the home.

We don't push unnecessary equipment or gimmicks. We assess your water issues and recommend solutions that fit your needs.

What is Water Treatment?

Water treatment refers to the process of filtering, conditioning, or softening water to address specific issues. Common goals include removing hardness minerals (calcium, magnesium), reducing chlorine, sediment, or iron, eliminating odors or bad taste, and improving water for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

The right solution depends on your water source (municipal vs. well), the issues you're experiencing, and your household's goals.

Signs Your Home May Benefit from Water Treatment

Many water issues develop gradually and are easy to overlook—until they cause damage or become noticeable.

Common signs include:

  • White, chalky buildup on faucets and showerheads
  • Spots or film on dishes and glassware
  • Dry skin or hair after bathing
  • Unpleasant taste or smell in tap water
  • Rust stains in sinks or toilets
  • Shortened lifespan of water heaters and appliances

If any of these sound familiar, water treatment may be worth considering.

Water Softener Installation

Hard water is one of the most common water quality issues in New Jersey homes. Water softeners work by removing calcium and magnesium—the minerals responsible for hardness—and replacing them with sodium or potassium ions.

Benefits of water softener installation include:

  • Reduced scale buildup in pipes and water heaters
  • Longer lifespan for plumbing and appliances
  • Softer skin and hair
  • Cleaner dishes without spots or residue
  • Less soap and detergent needed

We install water softeners sized appropriately for your household, ensuring consistent performance and efficient operation.

Water Filtration Systems

Water filtration systems address specific contaminants, sediment, or taste and odor concerns. Common options include whole-house filtration systems, under-sink filtration, sediment filters, carbon filters, and reverse osmosis systems. We help homeowners identify the right type of filtration based on their water source and the issues they want to address.

Well Water Treatment

Homes with well water often face unique water quality challenges, including iron, sulfur, sediment, bacteria, and hardness. We provide water treatment solutions specifically designed for well systems, addressing the root cause of the issue—not just masking symptoms.

Water Treatment for Plumbing Protection

Beyond comfort and taste, poor water quality can damage plumbing and heating systems over time. Hard water causes scale buildup that reduces water heater efficiency, clogs pipes and fittings, and shortens appliance lifespan. This is especially important for boiler systems and radiant heating, where mineral buildup can significantly impact performance. Proper water treatment isn't just about drinking water—it's about protecting your home's entire plumbing system.

Water Treatment FAQs

Do I need a water softener if I have municipal water?

Many municipal water supplies in New Jersey still contain hard minerals. A water test can determine if softening would be beneficial for your home.

How do I know what type of water treatment I need?

It depends on your water source and the specific issues you're experiencing. We can help evaluate your situation and recommend the right solution.

How long does a water softener last?

With proper installation and maintenance, quality water softeners typically last 10–20 years, making them a worthwhile investment.

Is water softener water safe to drink?

For most people, softened water is safe to drink. Those on sodium-restricted diets may prefer a separate drinking water line or potassium-based softener.
