What We Find Here
Water in Media
Media is the Delaware County seat — a walkable borough of Victorian twins and rowhomes along State Street, almost entirely on public water. The housing stock is old enough that original galvanized or copper supply lines are still common, and that history shapes what we look for before anything else.
Who supplies the water: Media's public water is supplied by Aqua Pennsylvania, which took over the borough's original water system in the mid-1990s.
Hardness and chlorine taste are the two complaints we hear most. Scale on fixtures in a 100-year-old home tends to be more visible than in newer construction, simply because there's more plumbing for it to accumulate in.
What We Offer Here
Services We Provide in Media
Water Softeners
Media's older homes often have more fixtures and more plumbing runs than newer construction, which makes hardness scale more visible and the case for softening stronger.
Water softenersWhole-House Filtration
Chlorine taste from the borough supply is a frequent complaint along State Street and the surrounding blocks.
Whole-house filtrationWell-Water Treatment
Essentially nonexistent in Media proper, which runs on borough public water throughout.
Well-water treatmentReverse Osmosis
A common add-on at the kitchen sink once whole-house taste and odor are addressed.
Reverse osmosisWater Testing
Establishes actual hardness and confirms what the borough's annual water quality report doesn't tell you about your specific plumbing.
Water testingSpecialty Treatment
Rarely needed on Media's consistent public supply, though older galvanized lines occasionally introduce sediment worth testing for.
Specialty treatmentOur Recommendation for Media
Media's Victorian-era housing stock means more plumbing, more fixtures, and more surface area for hardness scale to show up on — so softening tends to be the first conversation. Whole-house filtration for chlorine taste is the next most common pairing, especially for households that have lived with it long enough to stop noticing until it's gone.
We also install and service commercial systems in Media — commercial water softeners, commercial water filtration and commercial reverse osmosis.
