Whole-house water treatment matched to your water
Point-of-entry treatment for every tap and shower, chosen from your water: chlorine and chloramine with softening on city water, or iron, manganese and sulfur on a well. Installed in PA, NJ & DE.
A point-of-entry system is the right tool when the issue affects the whole house: chlorine or chloramine taste and smell, hard-water scale, or orange stains and rotten-egg odor from a well. For drinking water at the kitchen tap, reverse osmosis handles dissolved contaminants such as PFAS, nitrate and arsenic better.
What we match it to
| Your water shows… | WÜDR system |
|---|---|
| Chlorine or chloramine (e.g. Philadelphia Water, NJ American Water Raritan)[1][2], with or without hard water | Puronics Hydronex iGen 30C |
| Iron, manganese, or sulfur on a private well | Puronics IronMax iGen 10P; see well water treatment |
| PFAS above the 4.0 ppt federal limit[3] | Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink, such as the WÜDR Tankless RO 800. We don't currently install whole-house PFAS treatment[4]. |
| Sediment, acidic water or bacteria | Start with a free in-home test; we'll tell you what we find |
How we size it
Three things decide the right system: what's in your water (from your water report or an in-home test), your peak flow rate (bathrooms, fixtures, and household size), and your plumbing (pipe size and where there's room for equipment). Undersized equipment can't keep up at peak flow, and oversized equipment costs more than it needs to. We show your recommendation and price only after we've looked at your water.
Certifications to look for
NSF/ANSI standards are how filters prove what they reduce: 42 covers aesthetic claims like chlorine and taste, 53 covers health claims like lead and certain chemicals, and 401 covers emerging compounds. Ask for the specific certified claim for the contaminant you care about, not just "NSF" on the box.

Common questions
Do I need whole-house treatment if I'm on city water?
Not always. City water meets federal standards, and many people choose the Hydronex for chlorine or chloramine taste, hard-water scale, and showers. Your water report tells you what's there so you can decide.
How much upkeep does it need?
The Hydronex needs salt or potassium in the brine tank and no filter changes for its chlorine media. The IronMax backwashes automatically with no chemicals. We include the care plan with your quote.
Will it lower my water pressure?
A system sized for your home's peak flow shouldn't noticeably. That's one reason we size from your home's fixtures and plumbing.
Clean water starts with knowing what's in it.
