Boston, MA

Supplied by: Massachusetts Water Resources Authority

Boston is supplied from Quabbin and Wachusett reservoirs, and it arrives soft. What you taste, and what the water picks up travelling to your kitchen, is what there is to fix here. That is the mix bed system at the point of entry — one tank, carbon over softening resin — with reverse osmosis at the kitchen tap.

Questions

Boston FAQs

Do you install in every part of Boston?

Yes — we cover Boston and the surrounding areas. Our shop is in Providence, so most of Boston is a straightforward drive for our installers.

How soon can you come out in Boston?

We can usually talk it through the same day you call. Once you have decided on a system, installation is normally booked within a week or two, and a whole-home install takes about half a day.

Is the consult really free in Boston?

Yes. We talk through what you are seeing, tell you which system fits and what it costs. There is no charge and no requirement to buy anything.
