A well softener has to live with iron, sediment, and changing water after a recharge. Sizing from a municipal hardness chart is the wrong starting point.
Call 609-375-0287 or request an estimate for Princeton and nearby Mercer County towns.
Private wells in Hopewell Township, Montgomery, and parts of Princeton and West Windsor often carry hardness plus iron. Iron fouls resin and stains laundry. Our team tests the well, sets a softener that can handle that mix, and talks through whether an iron filter should sit ahead of the resin tank.
Spring recharge can raise iron. A brine tank that will not fill, sulfur odor after a well has been drawn down, or orange staining that started after a wet month are the calls we see most. Our team treats those as well problems, not a generic salt setting.
