Water Softener and Filtration

Chicago has hard water. Minerals in hard water accumulate in water pipes and appliances, reducing water flow and causing damage. Hard water used for bathing dries skin and leaves hair looking limp. Roto-Rooter installs and services water softeners, which alleviate the damaging qualities of hard water. 

Types of water softeners

• Salt-based water softeners

• Salt-free water softeners

• Dual-tank water softeners

• Magnetic water softeners

• Reverse osmosis water softeners

• Shower head water softeners

Chicago’s water supply comes from Lake Michigan. Local water meets state and federal safety standards but often smells earthy or musty due to seasonal algae blooms. Trace amounts of chlorine, chromium, and PFAS may be present. Older plumbing systems may cause elevated levels of lead. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business's best possible water quality. 

Types of filtration systems

• Activated carbon

• Ion exchange

• Reverse osmosis

• Mechanical

• Ultraviolet
