Recognizing the Signs
Have you been noticing water spots on your silverware? Soap scum or mineral stains in your sinks? Maybe while showering, you’ve realized that half your showerhead is clogged by strange white buildup. If any of these descriptions apply in your home, you most likely have hard water.
Hard Water, Explained
What Is Hard Water?
Water that’s considered “hard” contains high amounts of dissolved calcium, magnesium, and, in many cases, iron. Many homes in the Mid-Atlantic region have hard water, whether it’s supplied by a private well or a municipality, due to the types of rocks and other materials beneath the soil, particularly limestone and iron deposits. Dry skin and hair, bathtub rings, spotted glassware and silverware, dull and dingy clothing, weak water pressure, and shortened life expectancy of water-using appliances are all problems frequently caused by hard water.

Treating Your Hard Water
Water softeners use a process called ion exchange to treat hard water. The resin beads in a water-softening tank are negatively charged, so the positively charged ions in minerals like calcium and magnesium are pulled away, effectively eliminating them. Martin Water’s certified specialists will diagnose your water and recommend the right treatment system for your home.

From the initial phone call to the installation, this company shines with professionalism and care. Eric installed our system; he was kind, professional, efficient in his skill, and even paused his work to kill a spider on my front porch for me. If I could give him 1000 stars I would (just for the spider killing.)![]()

They installed a Kinetico water softener and K5 RO unit in our home + bypassed the outdoor hose bibs. They did a great job -- clean and thorough. System is working great. Highly recommend. The entire experience was smooth and easy; they did everything they agreed to do.![]()

After purchasing our new home which is on well water, I took water samples to Martin Water Conditioning. Dave (David?) answered many questions for me by phone and in person, then Loren came out to assess our current system and walk us through it since it was new to us, followed by John that same week who came out to update some of our filters and add a UV light. From start to finish, every single person we worked with was fantastic. Dave, Loren, and John were all wealths of knowledge, amenable to answering questions, and thoroughly explained the parts of the system we have, how they work together, and how to maintain them. If you're looking for a company full of knowledgable, professional, and genuinely nice people, Martin Water Conditioning is a great match. Thank you, everyone! We really appreciate the time you took with us. :)![]()

They were as pleasant as could be, and very knowledgeable and efficient. They went out of their way for us, knowing we were on a time frame.

We just had a new water softener system installed. Eric H. did an excellent job with the installation. I think the basement was cleaner when he finished than when he started. The piping was neatly laid out and well marked. He also took me down to the basement to explain what he did, how he set it up and what I should do going forward. Eric explained things well and asked if I had any questions. I highly recommend Martin Water Conditioning.
