Your Trusted Q&A Guide from Jenkins Plumbing & Mechanical

When it comes to major plumbing upgrades, homeowners want to feel confident they’re making the right investment. At Jenkins Plumbing & Mechanical, we get a lot of questions about water treatment systems, water heaters, and UV purification. Below, we’ve answered the most common ones to help you make informed decisions for your home.

Q: Should I get a water treatment system for my home?

A: In many Sussex County homes — especially those on well water — a water treatment system is one of the best investments you can make. Our area commonly experiences issues like hard water, iron staining, sediment, and unpleasant tastes or odors. A whole‑house water treatment system helps:

• Protect your plumbing and appliances

• Improve water taste and clarity

• Reduce mineral buildup

• Extend the life of your water heater

• Provide cleaner water for bathing, cooking, and laundry

If you’ve noticed staining, dry skin, scale buildup, or cloudy water, a treatment system can make a dramatic difference. Even if your water “seems fine,” testing often reveals hidden minerals or contaminants that a treatment system can easily correct.
