Water Quality Hiccups

Problem: Recent Chlorine Smell in Water Due to Changes to Water Treatment Process

Solution: Water Treatment Equipment

If you haven’t seen or read the recent news from Pennsylvania American Water, be aware that temporarily – from April 12th thru June 21st – they are “temporarily” changing their water treatment process (as a part of their normal distribution system maintenance) by switching treatment to a stronger disinfectant form of CHLORINE known as “free chlorine” which does not contain ammonia. Free chlorine is used in conjunction with flushing water mains and fire hydrants.

What does this mean for YOU?

You (and your pets) may experience a more noticeable chlorine taste and/or odor from:
tap water: drinking, cooking.
cleaning: washing machine, clothes, dishwasher.
If you have a health care need (see examples below) that requires “purified or filtered water” they recommend reaching out to your healthcare provider with questions. ADDITIONALLY, contact us for water treatment recommendations that can act as a barrier between the outside pipes and your home’s water faucets.

COMMON HEALTH CARE CONCERNS:

If you are taking prescription medications.
Skin care concerns.
Contact lens users.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO REASON FOR CONCERN!

What about future water quality NOTICES?

We can also provide several options for chlorine removal to homeowners who want to eliminate the odor and taste now and after the “temporary” change to PA American Water’s treatment process.

"Never disappoints! I've had two water tests conducted on my home. During the most recent John shared his knowledge and expertise on not only the Well tank pump that was in serious need of replacement but also options for my water softener. I never felt pressured to commit to something I didn't need. They made sure I had all the information and let me make a decision based on what made sense for me. Great experience from first call to final product!"

- Frederick S.

"We are new to the area and new to well water. We have used Sanatoga twice now - for routine maintenance and a water softener install. Juan is always on time and very attentive. We feel fortunate we have someone who cares about our house as if it were his own and a company we can count on in the years to come.
Thank you for excellent service!"

- John D.

"We have used Sanatoga Water Conditioning as a residential client as well as for our business customers for several years now. I could not be more happy with the customer service and professionalism that they provide. I always get a cheerful and helpful person on the other end of the line when I call the office, and the technicians who installed our water treatment system were clean, professional and answered all of my questions. I can definitely recommend Sanatoga, 5 Stars."

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JD was here on time.     He brought in the 6 bags of salt and placed them where instructed.   And did all the change out and test.   Personable person.    And did not waste any time.   I appreciated he came here first.  Have a great year and 2027.
Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. George Bosch of Sanatoga Water Conditioning arrived on time. He explained why our conditioner wasn't working, described how he would solve the problem, and then completed the work just as promised. We were delighted by his service. Couldn't ask for better.
