Water Treatment in Delaware, OH
Better Water for Your Home
White crust on faucets, spots on dishes, orange stains in the toilet, or a rotten-egg smell from the tap. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Delaware tests your water and installs the right treatment for it, whether you're on Del-Co, city water or a private well in Delaware or Union County.
We're The Punctual Plumber. If we're late, we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300.
Water Treatment Services We Offer
Water Testing
Every recommendation starts with a test. We check hardness, iron and other common problems so you only pay for the treatment your water actually needs.
Water Softeners
A softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale. That means less buildup in your water heater, tankless unit, dishwasher and fixtures, less soap and detergent, and no more white crust on everything. We install, repair and service softeners.
Iron and Sulfur Filters
Many wells around here have iron that stains sinks, tubs and laundry orange, or hydrogen sulfide that smells like rotten eggs. Iron and sulfur filtration takes care of both before the water reaches your fixtures.
Whole-Home Filtration
Whole-home carbon filtration reduces chlorine taste and odor and sediment at every tap in the house.
Drinking Water Systems
A reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink gives you clean, great-tasting drinking and cooking water without buying bottled water.
Signs You Could Use Water Treatment
- White scale on faucets, showerheads and glass shower doors
- Spots on dishes and glassware
- Dry skin and hair, or soap that won't lather
- Orange or brown stains in toilets, sinks and tubs
- A rotten-egg smell, especially from the hot water
- A water heater that pops, rumbles or wears out early
- Water that tastes like metal or chlorine
Water in Delaware and Union Counties
Treated water is still hard. Del-Co Water softens its water at the plant to about 7 to 8 grains per gallon of hardness, which is still moderately hard. Over time that's enough to build scale in water heaters, tankless units and fixtures.
Well water is a different story. Private wells in central Ohio draw from limestone and shale, and the water is often much harder than treated water. Many wells also carry iron, manganese or hydrogen sulfide. The right setup depends on your test results, which is why we test first.
Protect your equipment. Hard water is one of the biggest reasons water heaters and tankless units fail early here. A softener protects everything downstream of it.
