Types of Water Treatment Solutions

Water Softeners and Refiners

Water softeners and refiners specialize in eliminating hard water problems from your home. Water softeners remove dissolved minerals from the water, such as calcium and magnesium, that cause hardness and limescale accumulation. If you are looking for an extra layer of purification, water refiner systems soften water with an added filtration stage to capture certain chemicals and sediment.

Drinking Water Systems

These systems focus on ridding your water of unwanted contaminants for healthier, tastier drinking water. Depending on your needs, the available system include reverse osmosis systems, water filtration systems such as carbon filtration, disinfectant systems such as ultraviolet lights and alkaline treatment.

Smart Home Solutions

If you want to conserve water and cut back on costs, a smart home water system might be the perfect solution for you. These systems monitor your home water usage in real-time, report on pressure irregularities and leaks, and allow you to automatically control your water with a simple tap on your phone.

Hard Water

Does your plumbing system suffer from hard water? Then consider getting your water treated. Hardness is determined by the level of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, in the water. Hard water is generally considered safe to drink but can cause various issues to your plumbing and appliances as well as your hair and skin.

Some signs of hard water are the accumulation of limescale on surfaces and appliances, a metallic taste and smell, damage to plumbing fixtures, and dry and itchy skin.

Our water treatment services address all these issues, allowing your household to enjoy soft and palatable tap water. If you notice any signs of hard water such as lime scale buildup or if your water smells or tastes strange, we recommend getting your water tested by one of our water treatment professionals.

Save even more with a Tudi Home Comfort Plan.

Just like any other appliance in your home, your water treatment system needs routine maintenance to ensure it continues to purify you water efficiently. Learn how Tudi’s preventative maintenance plan can cut your costs and keep your water running fresh and clear for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Although the municipal water treatment process makes water safe to drink according to federal standards, not all potential water contaminants are regulated by the federal government. Also, the water that flows downstream from water treatment plants to your faucet can pick up additional contaminants that cause water quality issues. If your home is suffering from noticeable water quality issues, we would recommend getting your water tested.
Our testing process evaluates the safety and quality of your water supply. Testing can indicate whether you have hard water and identify your water's pH level. Our water treatment experts will also test for contaminants in your water, such as dissolved chemicals, minerals, and pathogens, that could pose a risk to your health and plumbing system. They will then walk you through their findings, answer questions, and provide you with their recommendation of the best water solution for your home. 
The improvement comes from an ion exchange process, which softens specific molecules in the calcium and magnesium mineral structure. A water softener tank features particles that trap ion molecules for treatment and release. Essentially, removing ions neutralizes the limescale accumulation process.
Filtration systems, such as reverse osmosis systems, remove harmful contaminants like PFAS, heavy metals like arsenic and lead, pharmaceuticals, and chlorine and chloramine to name a few. Water disinfectant systems, such as ultraviolet (UV) light systems, remove biological contaminants, like bacteria and other pathogens.
Yes, Pittsburgh generally has moderately hard water, though levels can vary by neighborhood and water source. Hard water contains higher concentrations of minerals like calcium and magnesium. While these minerals are not harmful to drink, they can leave behind scale buildup in plumbing, reduce soap effectiveness, and affect appliances over time.
Hard water can shorten the lifespan and efficiency of many household appliances. Minerals in hard water leave behind scale deposits that build up inside water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and coffee makers. This buildup forces appliances to work harder, which can increase energy use and lead to more frequent repairs or replacements. Over time, scale can also clog pipes and reduce water flow throughout the home.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that removes contaminants by forcing water through a semipermeable membrane. The membrane allows water molecules to pass through while blocking many dissolved solids, including salts, heavy metals, and certain chemicals. RO systems typically include several filtration stages—such as sediment and carbon filters—before the membrane to remove larger particles and improve performance. The result is highly purified water often used for drinking and cooking.
Carbon filtration uses activated carbon, a highly porous material that traps contaminants through adsorption. As water passes through the carbon filter, impurities like chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and unpleasant tastes and odors stick to the surface of the carbon. This process improves water taste and smell while reducing many common chemical contaminants found in municipal water supplies.
UV water filtration uses ultraviolet light to disinfect water by targeting microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. As water flows through the system, a UV lamp emits light that damages the DNA of these organisms, preventing them from reproducing and causing illness. UV systems are often used alongside other filtration methods because they disinfect water but do not remove particles or chemicals.
Water can contain a variety of contaminants depending on the source and local infrastructure. Common examples include chlorine, sediment, lead, iron, nitrates, bacteria, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium are also frequently present. Water treatment systems—such as filtration, softening, and purification technologies—can help reduce or remove these contaminants to improve water quality and safety in the home.

“We had Tudi come out and install a water softener and RO system. They did a fantastic job at explaining everything and not trying to upcharge us at any point. They were professional and efficient, and I will definitely be using their services in the future.”
