Home Water Filtration Westwood NJ
Clean, Safe Water From Every Tap in Your House
Kid came home from school saying the water fountain tasted better than home water. That's when the mom from Kinderkamack Road knew something was wrong. Their tap water smelled like a swimming pool and left white crud on everything.
Two days later, we installed their whole-house filtration system. Now their water tastes better than bottled, no more chlorine smell, and the dishwasher actually gets things clean. That's what proper filtration does - fixes problems you didn't even know you were living with.

Why Bergen County Water Needs Serious Filtration
Our water's safe to drink - legally. But safe and good are different things. Treatment plants add chlorine to kill bacteria. That chlorine's still there when it hits your glass.
Water Problems We Fix Daily

Chlorine taste and smell ruining coffee
-
Hard water destroying appliances
-
Iron staining everything orange
-
Sediment clogging fixtures

Lead from old pipes

Chemical contaminants nobody talks about
Westwood's water comes from different sources depending on your neighborhood. Some get Suez water, others have wells. Each source has different problems needing different solutions.
What to Know Right Now (Before Installation)
Test Your Water First
Can't fix what you don't measure. Free test strips show basics. Professional testing reveals everything. Know your enemy before buying weapons.
Understand System Types
Whole house filters everything. Under-sink just drinking water. Reverse osmosis removes most. Carbon improves taste. Different problems need different solutions.
Check Your Plumbing
Old pipes might not handle system. Water pressure matters. Available space determines options. We evaluate everything before recommending.

Maintaining Your Investment
Filter Changes Critical
Dirty filter worse than no filter. Bacteria grows in old filters. Set reminders. Stock replacements. Don't skip maintenance.
Annual Testing Recommended
Water quality changes. Systems need adjustment. New contaminants emerge. Stay ahead of problems.
Why Bergen County Water Varies So Much
Municipal water chlorinated heavily. Private wells have iron and hardness. Old pipes add lead. New pipes leach plastics. Every house different.
Northvale wells go deep into iron-rich rock. Closter has hard water issues. Emerson's infrastructure aging. Location determines problems.
Modern Filtration Technology
Smart Monitoring Systems
WiFi connected, tracks usage, alerts for maintenance. Detects leaks. Monitors water quality. Technology preventing problems.
Eco-Friendly Options
Salt-free softeners. Backwash recovery systems. Longer-lasting filters. Green solutions that work.
Installed smart system in Park Ridge. Alerts when filters need changing. Tracks water usage. Detected small leak before damage. Technology pays for itself.
Health Considerations
Contaminants You Can't See
Pharmaceuticals in water supply. Microplastics everywhere. Forever chemicals (PFAS). Filtration removes what treatment plants don't.
Vulnerable Populations
Babies need clean water for formula. Elderly have weaker immune systems. Compromised immunity requires extra protection. Not paranoia - smart prevention.
Clean Water Changes Everything
Morning coffee tastes like coffee, not chlorine. Showers don't dry skin. Clothes stay bright. Appliances last longer. It's quality of life improvement you notice daily.
Stop buying bottled water. Stop scrubbing mineral deposits. Stop wondering what's in your water. Call (201) 666-1118 for water testing and filtration options. Because your family deserves better than "legally safe" water.
