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?

Whether it is a “BOIL ALERT” or changes to the municipal company’s treatment procedures, adding water treatment to your home will provide PEACE OF MIND that your water is always filtering out the bad and only providing quality water. 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.

      Our dedication to our customers is continually rewarded with referrals and testimonials about our water quality solutions!

      "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."

      Sanatoga Water has always been the best when it comes to service and addressing all of our water conditioning needs for softeners, neutralizers, and reverse osmosis filtration. They’re always on time, professional, no-pressure, and they take the time to answer any and all of my questions (in person and on the phone). This is the second home I’ve used them and will continue to rely on them! I can’t recommend them enough.
