Water Filtration & Treatment Options

Every home and water source in Langley is unique. We install dedicated filtration systems engineered for your specific water supply and household needs.

Whole-Home Water Filtration

Water Softeners

Installed right where the main water line enters your house, ensuring every tap and shower receives treated water. Ideal for removing chlorine taste, odor, and sediment throughout the entire home.

Removes calcium and magnesium that leave stubborn mineral scale on bathroom fixtures, glass doors, and inside your hot water tank to protect your plumbing.

Well Water Treatment

Under-Sink Drinking Water Filter

Filtration, softening, and disinfection tailored for homes on a private well, built around a certified laboratory test of your raw water supply.

Targeted point-of-use filtration fitted beneath your kitchen counter, providing clean, pure drinking water on demand directly from a dedicated tap.

Where your Water comes from in Langley

What you need depends on where your water starts, and in the Township of Langley that isn't the same for everyone.

Most homes on municipal water get a blend of Metro Vancouver water and groundwater from Township wells. Aldergrove's supply is treated groundwater from local wells, topped up with Metro Vancouver water. Acadia runs on Township wells alone.

Metro Vancouver water comes off the North Shore mountains and is soft. It's treated with chlorine, which is what most people taste. Groundwater picks up more minerals on the way, and Langley groundwater carries iron and manganese. When those react with chlorine, you can get discoloured water and staining.

Then there are the rural properties off the watermains, in Otter, Salmon River and parts of Aldergrove and Glen Valley. They're on private wells, and the water is the homeowner's responsibility, not the Township's.

Not sure which you're on?

If there's a pressure tank and a well pump in your basement or crawlspace, you're on a well.

Signs your water needs treatment

White crust on taps, shower heads and glass doors
A kettle that furs up inside
Chlorine taste or smell at the kitchen tap
Orange, brown or black staining in sinks, toilets or laundry
A rotten-egg smell, especially from hot water
Cloudy water, or grit in aerators and screens
Appliances and hot water tanks wearing out early

Some of these point to the water, and some to the plumbing.

Rusty water from the hot taps only is usually the tank, not the supply.

If yours is getting on, see hot water tanks and tankless and how long a hot water tank lasts.

Filter, Softener or Both?

We'd rather you buy the system you need than the biggest one on the truck.

If you're on municipal water fed mainly by Metro Vancouver, you probably don't need a softener. The water is already soft. A carbon filter for taste is usually the better spend. Homes on groundwater or a well are where softeners and iron filters earn their keep.

The honest answer is to test before buying. We'll tell you what the test says, including when the answer is "you don't need anything".

Well Water Treatment

On a private well, nobody tests your water but you. Get it tested by an accredited lab before choosing any equipment, and repeat the bacteria test at least once a year.

A full test covers bacteria (total coliform and E. coli) and the things that drive equipment choice: hardness, iron, manganese, pH, and arsenic. Fraser Health publishes guidance for private well owners.

Most well systems are a train of parts in order: sediment filter first, then iron removal or softening, then UV last, because UV only works on clear water. We size each stage to your test results and your household's water use.

How an Install goes

Test. We look at your water source and test results, or help you get a lab test if you're on a well.
Recommend. We explain what each option fixes and what it doesn't, and quote the job before any work starts.
Install. Whole-home systems go where the main line enters the house, with a bypass valve so you can service them without shutting off the water.
Hand-over. We show you how to change cartridges or add salt, and give you the maintenance schedule.

What It Costs

We don't publish flat prices, because an under-sink filter and a full well treatment train are very different jobs.

There's no call-out fee, so you're not paying for us to come and look. Our labour rates are published, and installs are quoted by the job, so you know the number before we start.

Budget for upkeep too. Filters need new cartridges, softeners need salt, and UV lamps need replacing on schedule. We'll tell you what that costs before you buy.

Filtration Questions We Get

Do I need a water fitration in Langley?

It depends on your water source. Metro Vancouver water is soft, so many homes on municipal water don't need one. Homes on groundwater or a private well often do. Test first.

How often do filters need changing?

It depends on the system and how much water you use. We'll give you a schedule when we install it.

What's the difference between a water filter and a water softener?

A filter removes things you don't want, like chlorine, sediment or iron. A softener swaps out the calcium and magnesium that cause scale. They solve different problems, and some homes need both.

I'm on a well. What should I test for?

At minimum, bacteria every year. Before buying treatment equipment, get a full chemical test as well, covering hardness, iron, manganese, pH and arsenic.
