Water Conditioning Services in Southeastern PA
There are two different ways your home can receive its water supply: public water or well water. Both have pros and cons, but the Mattioni Team believes it’s important for every homeowner to be aware of the quality of their water. Your water could contain minerals that cause your water to have an unpleasant look, taste, or smell and could affect your dishes, laundry, skin, and hair. Your plumbing systems could also be at risk, leading to costly repairs if there are issues with your water. This is why we highly recommend looking into water conditioning for your Southeastern PA home!

What To Test Your Water For
- Hardness: Hard water can pose critical and grievous problems in plumbing systems. Water hardness can produce breakdowns in boilers, water heaters, and other water equipment. Hard water can also leave you with dry skin and damaged hair. In most residential settings, poor soap or detergent performance and mineral buildup on plumbing fixtures often indicate hard water.
- pH balance: High acidic water can cause leaks in heating systems, water heaters, water tanks, pipes, and other components of your home plumbing systems. These leaks can lead to very costly damage to your home or your plumbing systems. Corrosive water can also dissolve copper into your drinking water.
- Iron: Iron in your home’s water can cause stains on your laundry, dishes, and plumbing fixtures, such as sinks that are yellow, red, or brown in color. Iron can clog up wells, pumps, and other devices, such as dishwashers, leading to costly repairs. It also gives a metallic taste to your water and can affect food and beverages.
- Total dissolved solids: An elevated level of total dissolved solids can give your water a bitter or salty taste. It can also cause incrustations, films, or corrosion on fixtures and reduce the efficiency of water filters and plumbing equipment.
After testing your home’s water, our highly trained technician will be able to inform you of what water conditioning solution will work best for you.
Water Treatment & Conditioning Options
Mattioni Plumbing, Heating & Cooling offers several water treatment options depending on your water testing results. You can trust our plumbing team to assist with:
- Water softeners: If we find hard water, installing a water softener can remove those minerals to help your home enjoy the benefits of soft water. This protects your clothing, dishes, and skin from hard water damage.
- Water filtration: Filtration removes contaminants that can make your water taste or smell bad. It gives you cleaner and tastier water every time you get a drink.
- Water purification: Water purification goes beyond simple filtration. Using reverse osmosis or distillation techniques, we can help you further purify your water and remove contaminants that put your health and safety at risk.
- Ultraviolet filtration: UV water filters do more than just remove particles from the water. They neutralize living organisms, such as viruses and bacteria, to improve the health and safety of your water.

Common Water Issues in Pennsylvania
Many potential contaminants can affect your plumbing in Pennsylvania. While some are primarily seen in homes reliant on well water, others can affect nearly any property in any area. By investing in whole-home water conditioning, you can avert the consequences of a wide variety of issues affecting plumbing and health, such as:
- Iron: Iron in your water is quite common in Pennsylvania, with higher concentrations leading to rusty stains, skin problems, stomach issues, and bacteria.
- Lead: There is no safe lead level in your home’s water — even minor contamination has potentially severe health consequences.
- Bacteria: Bacteria can infiltrate water systems in many ways, growing due to iron and other contaminants, coming up through contaminated groundwater, etc.
- Chemical contaminants: Natural and artificial chemicals contaminating groundwater can be a concern in some areas, especially with well water.
- Acidity: Acidic water caused by specific contaminants can devastate your plumbing without proper treatment, not to mention potential issues with your cooking and, in some cases, safety hazards.
- Hard water: While safe to consume, certain minerals can lead to hard water in high concentrations. Water is hard if it leaves white specks, flakes, grime, or grit when it dries.

Water Conditioning FAQs
Is my tap water safe?
Even though cities do their best to filter and clean tap water, many homes have dangerous chemicals and contaminants in their tap water. Iron, bacteria, high chlorine levels, and even cancer-causing chemicals are all found in tap water. That’s why water filtration and conditioning is so important.
What are the dangers of hard water?
Hard water can damage dishes and clothing, leaving mineral residue that makes it harder to enjoy your belongings. It can also leave your skin feeling dry and flaky. When you have hard water, you have to use more soap and shampoo to get yourself clean.
How can I better purify the water in my home?
The five primary water purification methods include boiling, chlorination, filtration, distillation, and reverse osmosis. Distillation and reverse osmosis are the most effective, and filtration, especially UV filtration, is also helpful.
