Hard water buildup

Hard water buildup

More than just a pain to clean, hard water can cause permanent damage to water using appliances, pipes, faucets, and fixtures. Luckily, there’s an all-natural solution that will protect your home…
Iron water red brown stains

Iron & mineral Stains

Iron causes red/orange stains and can be seriously hard to clean up. ? There are two different types of iron, both treated by different methods, so a free home water test can help you determine the best plan of action.
Bad tasting chlorine water

Bad tasting or contaminated water

Most water contamination happens AFTER water leaves your local water treatment plant. Between the miles of pipes the water travels and the chlorine that’s used to kill bacteria, it’s not unusual for water in our area to taste pretty… gross.

They treat you like family.DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME GETTING ESTIMATES WITH OTHER COMPETITORS IN THE AREA!Michael did the install first thing in the morning, today October 30th. I was not home and left the door open at the beginning. You can trust the staff. They are supportive of Military, Health Care Workers & First Responders (Fire & PD)Michael went above and beyond today. I had some plumbing issues that I was working on because I had to re-do some valves and pipes behind the wall for new appliances that arrived to get them connected to water.Michael took some time to give me some tips and showed me how to resolve the matters quickly so they could get the house water turned on for the treatment system.Within hours, I have noticed the difference with the water. I’m excited to see the results progress as I am on well water that’s very hard.Stick with Clean Water Of VA, LLC, I’d put my life on the line for the company, promising that you can trust them.read more

I had Bob come out and do a water test because we had some smelly water and it was staining the fixtures and everything it touched. He was able to... walk me through his chemistry kit how exactly he was performing them and what each one was testing. He was very personable and I could tell he really cares about who he is recommending products too. In the end we needed a filter and softener setup. They were able to provide financing which was a huge stress relief because it's a large amount of money. They then came to do the install very quickly. Michael was our installer and he did a fantastic job putting the equipment in the area that worked best for us. When he was done he explained the system one more time and how to use and what the maintenance was like. We could tell a difference immediately on the cold water as he flushed the system before leaving. The hot water was a gradual improvement and Micheal explained this as we needed to work through the water that was already in the water heater. On the second day of using our new system the smell of rusty coins is gone from both the hot and cold water and the water does indeed feel better on your skin when showering. A mighty investment to be sure but a it has been a mighty improvement so I can't recommend them enough.read more

After learning about my need for a water treatment system for the new home I purchased I called on a recommendation Clear Water of Virginia. They... scheduled a consultation and quote for the following day. They met me at the time we agreed upon and after testing my water to verify a need, informing me about their company and listening to their proposal I agreed to have them install the EER3700 water refining system. Because the water here is extremely hard I asked them to install it as soon as possible. To my pleasant surprise they were able to install it the next day. Great company. Came right on time. Up front with the work that they would be performing and explained everything I needed to know about the system. Their work was neat and thoughtful. At this point of the transaction I am extremely pleased.read more

We had a little hiccup during the beginning with the salesperson. They sent their technician Michael James out and he was perfect. He told me what... was needed for my water needs. He actually suggested a smaller unit then was originally suggested. He went through the why's and hows of the system and why it fits our needs. Michael was also the person who installed our system. It took about 3 hours to install, which I thought was appropriate since it was just him. Again, afterwards he explained the system and which salt pellets we need. I would recommend Michael for your determination of your requirements and installation. You will feel your getting an honest opinion based on your needs and not based on commission which I felt from the salesperson.read more

We got great service from Clean Water VA. We're very happy with our unit, with our sales rep and installer who came to our home, and the price. They're right in line with Culligan fo price and we prefer to support a local family business. I definitely recommend them! We had awful hard Martinsburg water and have had sparkling dishes and soft laundry ever since our softener was put in.

Sara Batton

The complete process was great from the initial contact to installation. Ted and Mike were both very knowledgeable and answered my many questions.

So far very pleased with our new water system. Thanks again.

Mike G. Inwood, WV

I just wanted to tell you something that you probably don't know but we have been using soft water since 1959 when the business was run by Servisoft (now, Ecowater) and owned by the Butchers. Jim talked us into putting it in our home when I noticed the film on the water I was using for my newborn sons formula. It was gross. I was amazed at the difference the softener made in everything in our home. I have always said that I would give up anything else in my home but the softener. I will not do without it. At that time Jim Butcher told me for every system and recommendation I told people about that he would give me a discount. I lined up many, many people in Strasburg. even businesses. Thank you all for taking over and continuing such a great product and service. Thanks again for letting me vent and YES I still do tell everyone how wonderful you guys are

Jerry Ann S. Strasburg, VA

Thanks, Guys. As always, Michael was great and more than professional. I am very grateful for how fast he got there because without his quick fix we would have had no heat n water in the house. You guys are pros, and I am very grateful!

Kim

Thanks so much for the quick & professional service. Your tech, Mike, did a great job! After talking with him it sounds like we might need to do the resin bed on our softener, as well. I actually have a rental property that might be ready for that as well. I'll give you a call soon to discuss & get your opinion/advice. Thanks again.

Bill

I just want to take a moment to let everyone know that talking with Ted was very educational & informational. He treated me as a regular person and was very knowledgeable with the information that he gave to me. No question at anytime in our conversation did he not have an answer for and was very specific in the information that he gave me so that I completely understood what we were both talking about. He also was very interested in the fact that I had questions and took the time to listen to me and explained in detail his answers.

AWESOME customer service and an awesome person that I felt comfortable talking too.

I would welcome Ted in my home for the install of this product.

In May, 2018, I purchased an [EcoWater] water system.  I compared 3 other companies, and it is truly a superior system.  I could not be happier.  It delivers everything promised.  Also, I no longer have to lift and haul 40 pounds of salt monthly,  my water is not rusty after back washing, and  my tanks do not sweat anymore.  Its cleaning is completely efficient and automatic.  Also, I purchased ERO 175 drinking water system.  It is also a superior system.  It is so great to have pure drinking water anytime I want.

Ted Pokabla was a great water specialist who was very knowledgeable about his product.  His customer service skills have been outstanding. I highly recommend this product and company to anyone looking to upgrade their water system.  You will not be disappointed!!

Last year I purchased an EcoWater system to remove sediment and to remove bacteria from our well water. Ted went above and beyond in scoping the project and buying a replacement bulb for our existing UV light unit. They didn't oversell me. When I wanted more confidence in our water, they quickly helped me solve the next issue. Ted and James were prompt, reliable, and easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone who needs water treatment.

Frequently Asked Water Treatment Questions:

What is water treatment?

Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water for a specific purpose. Reasons for improving water quality may include drinking, cooking, bathing, or other household activities.

How does water treatment work?

Water treatment works by running water through chemicals and filters to remove toxins and hazards. This is done at both the municipal level and at a private level in homes and/or businesses. While a water treatment plant may make water potable again, healthy, clean, quality water can only be truly achieved at the point of service (pos). This is because the water running to your home or business, from the municipal water supply, picks up contaminants from the pipes it runs through. In home water treatment, or POS systems, run your water through an additional set of filters and media that remove contaminants that may have both been picked up from the city water pipes and those that may not have been removed to begin with.

How many steps are in the water treatment process?

There are typically 9 steps in the municipal water treatment process: Collection, Screening and Straining, Chemical Addition, Coagulation and Flocculation, Sedimentation and Clarification, Filtration, Disinfection, Storage, and finally Distribution. Private water treatment systems for homes or businesses can have anywhere from 3 to 16 filtration stages that work to remove additional contaminants. Some of these stages include carbon, reverse osmosis, uv light, and remineralization.
