Signs You Need Water Treatment
Water that looks clear can still carry minerals or contaminants that affect your plumbing, appliances, and health. If you notice any of these signs, contact our team for water treatment options:
- Spots on glassware and fixtures
- Dry skin and brittle hair
- Unpleasant taste or odor in water
- White scale buildup on appliances
- Orange or reddish stains in sinks or toilets
- Low water pressure or other plumbing issues
Water Filtration System Installation & Replacement
While point-of-use systems only treat water at one faucet, a whole-home water filter treats all the water entering your home.
It removes contaminants before the water reaches your fixtures and appliances, so every faucet in your home — not just your kitchen sink — will deliver filtered water.
Our licensed plumbers handle every detail of your water filter installation or replacement. We’ll help you determine the best solution and seamlessly install it for maximum performance and long-term reliability.
Types of Water Filtration
Different filtration methods target different water quality issues. Here are some of the most common types we install:
- Carbon filtration uses activated carbon to remove chlorine, sediment, and certain chemicals, improving both taste and smell.
- Reverse osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane to eliminate impurities like lead, fluoride, and nitrates.
- UV water filtration uses ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in the water.
Water Filtration System Repair
If your home’s water filtration system isn’t performing as it used to, our plumbers can diagnose and fix the issue.
Common whole-home water filter issues include:
- Dirty or clogged filters
- Leaks from faulty seals
- Low water pressure
- Inaccurate settings
- Malfunctioning controls
Water Softener Installation & Replacement
Polestar provides professional water softener installation and replacement. We’ll recommend the right system based on your water hardness level and household size.
Hard water contains mineral deposits that impact its quality. Water softeners remove these minerals, replacing them with sodium or potassium to prevent scale buildup.
A water softener treats all the water entering your home, softening it before it can affect your plumbing, fixtures, clothing, skin, hair, and dishes.
Water Softener Repair
Problems like salt bridges, control valve errors, or a depleted resin bed can keep your water softener from functioning properly. Our expert plumbers offer water softener repairs to address these issues and restore your water quality.
We also recommend regular maintenance to prevent breakdowns. If you’re unsure whether your system needs service, we’re happy to check it out.
