Water Treatment Services in Greater Cincinnati

Life is hard enough. Your water doesn’t have to be. 

Hard water can cause all kinds of problems. When your clean dishes dry, hard water leaves spots all over them, making them look dirty again. Hard tap water has that earthy, soil-like taste to it. Your shower head gets crusted with a white-looking chalky scale, and your water pressure drops. Your skin gets dry and itchy.

More than 89 percent of homes in the U.S. have hard water. While drinking hard water is safe, it causes many problems around the house. Apollo Home offers whole-home water treatment services to soften your water in Greater Cincinnati, including Northern Kentucky and Indiana. 

Whole-Home Water Softeners

A whole-house water softener will help reduce the minerals in your water, leading to softer water. Additionally, these systems help filter all the water that flows through your home. A water softener filtration system uses a multi-step process that puts water through several filtration cycles and removes unnecessary minerals from your water.

The key ingredient in most of these filtration layers is activated carbon. As the water gets filtered through, the carbon absorbs the contaminants and hardening agents such as chlorine, calcium, and magnesium.

Benefits of Water Softening

• Tastier filtered tap water
• No spotting on clean dishes
• No mineral buildup on faucets and shower heads for better water flow
• Increased service lifespan for your washer, dishwasher, water heater, and any other appliances that use water
• No more soap scum in your bathtubs or on tiles (the hard water interacts with soap to leave soap scum behind)
• No more gross, red discoloration in toilets
• Reduced wear and tear on clothing in the wash as hard water minerals can act like fine sandpaper scratching your clothes
• Soap will last longer, as you don’t need as much since you won’t have as many minerals in the water-absorbing soap suds.
• Brighter skin and hair

Apollo Home proudly offers whole-home water softener and filtration systems for Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky homes. 

Water Filters

Water softeners are designed to filter out the hard minerals in water but don’t specifically remove other contaminants that may sneak into water supplies. If you know your local water supply has issues, or you notice any of the following signs, you should look into water filtration:

• Water that is cloudy or impure
• Water with a strong rotten egg smell or rusty coloration (common with well water)
• High levels of chlorine, chloramines, chloroform, or any intense chemical odors
• High levels of organic toxins such as nitrates

Apollo Home offers whole-home water filters in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Some models combine water filtration with water softening. If you know you need a water filtration system, but can’t quite afford one wholesale, don’t worry! We offer great financing options to make water filtration affordable. 

Descaling Services

Over time, water flowing through your pipes can form a coating known as “scale.” This buildup can slow water flow through your taps, showers, and lines, which reduces water pressure and prevents proper drainage.

Cleaning out blocked faucets and pipes is much more affordable than replacing them. The process is much as you might expect. We use hoses, water pressure, and safe chemicals to clear away the scale and free your water to flow more efficiently. 

If you have noticed any taps, shower heads, or pipes with reduced water pressure or drainage, schedule an appointment to determine how we can help ensure your water flows smoothly.
