What We Find Here
Water in Swarthmore
Swarthmore is a small, historic borough built around Swarthmore College — stone and Victorian-era homes on walkable, tree-lined streets, entirely on public water. Like Media, the housing age means original plumbing runs are still common in some homes, which is worth knowing before any equipment goes in.
Who supplies the water: Swarthmore's public water is supplied by Aqua Pennsylvania.
Hardness scale and chlorine taste are the recurring themes, consistent with the rest of the Aqua Pennsylvania-served Delaware County communities we work in.

Specialty treatmentOur Recommendation for Swarthmore
Swarthmore's historic housing stock puts it in the same category as Media — older plumbing means hardness scale shows up more readily, so softening is usually the starting point, with whole-house filtration for chlorine taste as the common second step.
We also install and service commercial systems in Swarthmore — commercial water softeners, commercial water filtration and commercial reverse osmosis.
