HOW’S YOUR WATER?
Solutions for Any Water Problem!
We service all makes and models. Culligan, Hague, RainSoft, Rayne, Eco, WaterRight, WaterCare and Kinetico brands to name a few.
Your water should be crystal clear and free from chemicals, odors, bad tastes and hardness. However, water quality varies from home to home, and there are many common water problems that can cause your water to appear cloudy, have a bad smell or taste, stain and water-spot fixtures, or even shorten the life of your pipes and appliances.
Some contaminants in drinking water have been linked to cancer and toxicity, posing a risk to human health. Many contaminants often have no taste, odor or color. Their presence can only be determined by testing.
We are the exclusive Hellenbrand dealer for Central and Northern New York State. Hellenbrand products are manufactured in the USA and are designed for decades of service life. Our people have been factory trained and updated so you know you are getting the most up-to-date equipment installed and serviced by qualified workmen.
For a variety of reasons, homeowners may wish to treat water sourced from a drilled bedrock or gravel well, point well or dug well. Treatment can minimize mineral deposits, remove chlorine, improve flavor, or provide extra confidence. Because the effectiveness of treatment devices varies for different contaminants, it is important to know what materials you want to remove before selecting a treatment system.
It is also important to realize that there are often risks, such as excess sodium, contaminant breakthrough, leaching of metals and bacterial growth, associated with home treatment units. Below is a summary of the major types of home water treatment units, how they work, what they are most and least effective at removing and the risks associated with each type of system.
New York State Department of Health (NY DOH) recommends private well owners test their well water every three to five years for pollutants commonly found in groundwater. NY DOH recommends that you have your water tested at a NYS DOH accredited laboratory. When you have your water tested, your test results will be summarized in the form of a lab report. Amber Water Pros provides a full range of sampling and accredited laboratory water testing services.
While many private wells provide safe drinking water, certain pollutants like arsenic, iron, manganese, nitrates and nitrites are sometimes present in groundwater at levels that can affect your health and home.
Amber Water Pros is committed to delivering to all of our customers, safe, clean drinking water that is free from impurities. We offer filtration and water conditioning solutions for every type of situation. From iron to arsenic, sulfur to radon and gross alpha, hardness to acidity—whatever the problem, we have the solution.
For consumers wishing to treat only water used for consumption, not the whole house, inexpensive faucet‐mounted filters and freestanding carafes are often good choices. These products can do a good job of improving taste and removing lead, chlorine, chlorination by‐products, and microbes. As with other types of filters, changing the filter according to the manufacturer’s recommendations is essential for maintaining good performance.
Distillation consists of boiling water and condensing the steam. It is effective at removing dissolved inorganic materials, but it is a slow process and takes considerable energy to convert a gallon of water into steam. Also, the boiling chamber becomes coated with a mineral scale. This scale is difficult to remove, generally requiring treatment with an acid.
Features
Activated-carbon water filters are the most popular home water treatment devices. Carbon filters remove organic compounds such as industrial solvents, pesticides, chlorine and chlorination byproducts. As you may know, activated-carbon units are usually the easiest to install and maintain with ongoing costs often limited to filter replacement.
Activated-carbon water filtering works by removing contaminants from water by adsorption, or the attraction and accumulation of one substance on the surface of another. In activated carbon processes, the adsorption surface consists of pores, or small openings, created in carbon granules during the activation process. In general, high surface area and pore structure are the prime considerations in adsorption of organics from water. Carbon water filters work best when they are able to operate slowly.
Chlorine, organic chemicals, pesticides, radon, odors and bad taste
Fracture trace analysis involves several steps, each of them designed to add to the previous one, and culminate in a map of potential drilling locations in a fractured bedrock regime. Specifically, discernible linear features are mapped, along with indications of recharge areas, and surface expressions of geologic interest relative to groundwater movement and quality. Unlike many methods, fracture trace analysis relies upon several well-proven geologic and hydrogeologic practices in use for over 100 years to create this map, and reduce the risks of drilling a less than adequate water well.
Hard water issues can cause cloudy or foggy water stains on clean dishes, shower doors, and faucets. This water “hardness” results from abnormal amounts of calcium, magnesium or iron. Hard water produces two major problems:

Water contamination can occur to city water supplies, well water supplies, and fresh water sources, such as springs, lakes, streams, and rivers. Consuming contaminated water can cause numerous effects.
Are you concerned about contaminants in your home’s water? Do you know if you can safely drink the water in your home? The first step is to conduct a water test from a trusted provider to further understand your water quality. The EPA recommends testing your private well at a minimum, annually. Beyond regular testing, there are several reasons to have your well tested. Some are immediate health issues, some are not dangerous but can affect the taste of your water and can indicate potential problems as well as affect your long-term well being.
The EPA estimates that radon breathed in the home is responsible for 20,000 lung cancer deaths annually. Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and smokers who are exposed to Radon have an even higher risk of developing lung cancer. Radon gas is released when radon-tainted water is exposed to open air through turning on a faucet, taking a shower, doing laundry, etc. Likewise, consuming drinking water contaminated with radon presents significant risk of stomach cancers.
