Franklin Park homes commonly experience hard water scale on fixtures, iron and manganese staining, chlorine taste from West View Water Authority municipal supply, and — for well water homes — hydrogen sulfide odor, low pH, and occasional coliform bacteria. The borough’s hilly terrain and mixed water sources mean treatment needs vary from property to property.

Most of Franklin Park Borough receives treated municipal water from the West View Water Authority, which draws from the Ohio River and treats the water at its Neville Island plant. Some properties — especially on larger lots in the western and northern areas of the borough — rely on private wells drilled into the region’s sedimentary bedrock.

Many Franklin Park homes benefit from water softening. Both municipal and well water in this part of Allegheny County tend to carry elevated mineral hardness from the underlying limestone geology. A water test can measure your exact hardness level so we can size a system appropriately for your household.

We use Custom-Designed filtration media engineered to oxidize and remove iron and manganese from your well water. The specific media configuration depends on your iron levels, pH, and whether hydrogen sulfide is also present. Every system is sized and configured based on your water test results — not a generic formula.

Costs vary based on your water quality, the complexity of treatment needed, and the size of your household. A home on municipal water that only needs softening will have a different investment than a well water property requiring iron removal, sulfur treatment, and UV disinfection. We provide detailed quotes after water testing — no surprises.

Yes — hydrogen sulfide is one of the most common complaints we address for well water homes in the North Hills. We use Custom-Designed media specifically configured to oxidize and remove sulfur compounds. The result is odor-free water throughout your entire home.

We install high-flow reverse osmosis systems that deliver purified drinking water on demand — with options for pH boost finishing for smoother, more balanced taste. Customers often tell us their water tastes better than bottled water. We also offer RO systems with built-in instant hot water dispensing for tea, coffee, and clean cooking.

Pennsylvania does not regulate private well water quality, so testing is the only way to know. Common concerns include coliform bacteria, elevated nitrates, and naturally occurring minerals like iron, manganese, and sulfur. We recommend testing at minimum for bacteria, pH, hardness, iron, and manganese — then building treatment around the actual results.
