Water Softener and Filtration

Columbus has moderately 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

Columbus’s water supply comes from multiple sources, including the Scioto River and the Griggs and O’Shaughnessy reservoirs. Local water meets the requirements of the Safe Water Drinking Act, but may contain trace amounts of nitrates, chlorine, barium, lead, copper, and carcinogenic PFAS. 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
