Hard water doesn’t just leave spots on your dishes—it’s quietly damaging your plumbing, shortening the life of your appliances, and making simple tasks like showering and cleaning more frustrating than they should be. Whether you’re dealing with rusty-tasting well water, chlorine-heavy municipal supply, or limestone deposits that coat every fixture in your home, poor water quality affects your daily comfort and your long-term costs.
At Groff’s Home Comfort Team, we’ve been solving water quality problems for Lititz families since 1987. While other contractors offer one-size-fits-all solutions, our approach begins with understanding your specific water challenges through comprehensive testing, followed by the design of treatment systems tailored to your exact needs. From water softening and filtration to whole-house treatment solutions, our experienced team treats every installation with the same care we’d demand for our own families.
Clean, soft water isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation of a comfortable home and a protected investment in your plumbing and appliances.
Lancaster County’s diverse water sources create unique challenges that require targeted solutions. From limestone-heavy well water near Warwick Township to treated municipal supplies with chlorine concerns, we’ve designed and installed water treatment systems that transform problem water into the clean, soft water your family deserves.
Water Softening Systems
Hard water minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, can damage appliances, cause soap scum buildup, and leave your skin and hair feeling dry and dull. Our high-efficiency water softeners use proven ion-exchange technology to remove these minerals completely, delivering soft water that protects your investment and improves your daily comfort.
Whole House Water Filtration
Municipal water treatment eliminates dangerous bacteria but often leaves chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants that affect taste, odor, and quality. Our whole-house filtration systems remove these unwanted elements at your home’s main water line, ensuring every tap delivers clean, great-tasting water.
Well Water Treatment Systems
Private wells can contain iron, sulfur, bacteria, and other contaminants that make water unpleasant and potentially unsafe. We design custom treatment systems based on comprehensive water testing, combining multiple technologies when needed to transform problematic well water into clean, safe water for your entire home.
Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems
For the purest possible drinking water, reverse osmosis systems remove virtually all dissolved contaminants, including nitrates, lead, and pharmaceuticals that other filters miss. These under-sink systems provide unlimited purified water for drinking and cooking while working seamlessly with your existing plumbing.
Iron and Sulfur Removal
Pennsylvania’s geology creates water with high iron content that stains fixtures and sulfur that produces offensive rotten-egg odors. Our specialized filtration systems eliminate these problems, restoring the clarity of your water and eliminating unpleasant smells that can affect your home’s comfort.
Water Conditioning Solutions
For families concerned about salt-based softening systems, our advanced water conditioning technologies prevent scale buildup without adding sodium to your water. These systems protect your plumbing and appliances while maintaining the natural mineral content many people prefer.
Effective water treatment begins with understanding the specific contaminants and minerals present in your water supply. Our systematic approach ensures your treatment system addresses your actual problems, not generic assumptions about local water quality.
Comprehensive Water Testing and Analysis
Every successful water treatment installation begins with thorough testing that identifies specific contaminants, mineral levels, and water chemistry factors that affect your daily life. We test for hardness, iron, sulfur, pH levels, bacteria, and dozens of other factors that determine which treatment technologies will deliver optimal results.
Custom System Design and Recommendation
Based on your water test results, household size, and specific concerns, we design treatment systems that solve your actual problems within your budget. We explain each recommended component, how it works, and why it’s necessary for addressing your water quality challenges, ensuring you understand your investment.
Professional Installation and Integration
Our certified technicians install your water treatment system according to manufacturer specifications and local codes, integrating it seamlessly with your existing plumbing. We handle all necessary electrical connections, drain installations, and system programming to ensure optimal performance from day one.
System Startup and Performance Verification
After installation, we thoroughly test your treated water to verify all contaminants are correctly removed and your system operates at peak efficiency. We provide detailed instructions for ongoing maintenance and schedule follow-up service to ensure long-term performance and satisfaction.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance
Water treatment systems require periodic maintenance to maintain peak performance. Our comprehensive maintenance services include filter replacements, system cleaning, and performance monitoring, which keep your investment working perfectly and ensure your warranty remains valid.
At Groff’s, water treatment means delivering solutions that work reliably while providing the ongoing support that protects your investment and your family’s health.
Smart water treatment decisions lead to immediate improvements in daily comfort while protecting your long-term investments in plumbing, appliances, and home value. These strategic benefits make water treatment one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can make.
Extend Appliance and Plumbing Life
Hard water minerals and corrosive contaminants gradually destroy water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, and plumbing fixtures. Quality water treatment systems prevent this expensive damage, often paying for themselves through extended appliance life and reduced repair costs.
Improve Daily Comfort and Convenience
Soft, clean water makes every water-related task more pleasant and effective. Soaps and shampoos lather better, clothes stay brighter longer, and cleaning becomes easier when you’re not fighting mineral deposits and chemical residues that make simple tasks frustrating.
Reduce Ongoing Water-Related Expenses
Homes with untreated hard water use significantly more soap, detergent, and cleaning products, and replace appliances more frequently. Water treatment systems dramatically reduce these ongoing costs while delivering superior results that make your home more comfortable and efficient.
Ensure Safe, Healthy Water for Your Family
Municipal water treatment removes dangerous bacteria but doesn’t address all potential health concerns from aging pipes, agricultural runoff, or industrial contamination. Home water treatment provides an additional layer of protection, giving you confidence in your family’s water safety.
By investing in professional water treatment that addresses your specific concerns, you create lasting improvements that enhance daily life while protecting your most important investment—your home and family’s well-being.
Nearly Four Decades of Water Treatment Expertise
Since DeVon Groff founded our company in 1987, we’ve solved water quality problems throughout Lancaster County. When Denny Dagan joined our team, both families committed to mastering the water treatment technologies that transform problem water into the clean, soft water Lititz families deserve. Our experience with local water challenges makes us uniquely qualified to address your specific needs.
Comprehensive Testing and Custom Solutions
Generic water treatment systems often fail because they fail to address your actual water quality issues. We start every project with thorough testing that identifies specific contaminants and minerals, then design treatment systems that address your exact challenges, rather than relying on generic solutions.
Complete In-House Installation and Service
Water treatment systems require precise installation, ongoing maintenance, and reliable service support. Unlike companies that subcontract installation or disappear after the sale, we handle every aspect of your water treatment with our own trained technicians who understand both the technology and your long-term satisfaction.
Integrated Home Comfort Solutions
Beyond water treatment, we offer comprehensive plumbing and HVAC services that work in tandem to enhance your home’s comfort and efficiency. When water treatment affects other home systems, we coordinate solutions that work together seamlessly.
Local Community Investment and Accountability
As your neighbors in the Lititz community, we understand that our reputation depends on delivering water treatment solutions that work reliably for years to come. Every system we install strengthens our standing in the community we call home, ensuring we remain committed to your long-term satisfaction and well-being.
How do I know if my home needs water treatment?
Common signs include white spots on dishes and fixtures, soap that fails to lather well, dry skin and hair after showering, stained laundry, a metallic or chlorine taste in drinking water, and appliances that fail prematurely. Professional water testing identifies specific contaminants and mineral levels that determine which treatment technologies will most effectively address your problems.
What’s the difference between water softening and water filtration?
Water softening removes hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) that cause scale buildup and soap problems. In contrast, water filtration removes contaminants like chlorine, sediment, iron, and bacteria that affect taste, odor, and safety. Many homes benefit from both technologies working together to address different water quality issues comprehensively.
How much do whole-house water treatment systems cost?
Complete water treatment systems typically range from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on your specific water quality challenges, the size of your home, and the treatment technologies required. Basic water softeners typically start at around $1,800, while comprehensive systems with multiple treatment stages are more expensive but address complex water problems that simpler systems cannot handle effectively.
Do water treatment systems require ongoing maintenance?
Yes, all water treatment systems need periodic maintenance to operate effectively. Water softeners require salt refills every few months, filters need to be replaced annually or semi-annually, and systems benefit from periodic professional service. We provide maintenance programs that keep your system operating at peak efficiency while maintaining warranty coverage.
Will a water softener make my water taste salty?
Properly functioning water softeners add minimal sodium—typically less than you’d find in a slice of bread. Most people cannot taste any difference in softened water. For those on sodium-restricted diets or who prefer no added sodium, we offer potassium-based softening or alternative conditioning technologies that prevent scale without adding salt.
Stop accepting poor water quality that damages your home and frustrates daily life. Whether you need simple water softening or comprehensive treatment for complex well water issues, Groff’s Home Comfort Team delivers the testing, design expertise, and professional installation that transforms your water into the clean, soft resource your family deserves.
