For many families in Somerset, NJ water filtration is more than a luxury, the water coming out of the tap is “legal,” but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s high-quality. Our local water supply—often sourced from the Raritan-Millstone and Canal Road treatment plants—is treated with various chemicals to ensure safety. However, by the time that water reaches your home in Central Jersey, it may carry persistent chlorine odors, industrial byproducts, or high levels of dissolved minerals.
At Anthony’s Home Services we believe you shouldn’t have to settle for water that tastes like a swimming pool or leaves crusty white buildup on your fixtures. Since 1987, we have helped Somerset families discover just how good their water can be with the right treatment technology.
Issues We Frequently Address in Somerset
Understanding what is in your water is the first step toward choosing the right filtration technology.
- Hard Water Scaling: High levels of calcium and magnesium in our area lead to “liquid stone” buildup. This clogs showerheads, ruins dishwashers, and leaves your skin feeling dry and itchy.
- Chlorine and Chloramines: To keep water safe during transit, utilities add disinfectants. In Somerset, annual maintenance often involves a switch to “free chlorine,” which can cause a strong bleach-like smell and taste in your drinking and bathing water.
- Legacy Contaminants: Being a highly developed area, trace amounts of PFAS (“forever chemicals”), lead from aging service lines, and industrial runoff can sometimes be detected in local supplies.
- Sediment and Rust: Older infrastructure in historic Somerset neighborhoods can introduce fine particles of silt or rust into your plumbing, wearing down your appliances prematurely.
