Water Treatment Services in Gardiner, ME

Professional Water Testing and Treatment Solutions

Gardiner homeowners face real water quality challenges—hard water that damages plumbing, chlorine taste from treated supplies, sediment from aging infrastructure, and invisible health concerns like arsenic and PFAS. FONTUS Water Treatment solves these problems with professional testing, honest assessments, and proven treatment systems.

Located along the Kennebec River with historic neighborhoods and varied water sources, Gardiner's water chemistry presents unique challenges. Some homes connect to the Gardiner Water District, while others rely on private wells. Both sources require attention. We eliminate the uncertainty with free on-site testing, laboratory analysis for health contaminants, and customized systems that deliver clean, safe water to every tap.

How We Solve Gardiner Water Problems

Stop Hard Water Damage

Calcium and magnesium naturally dissolve into groundwater throughout the region, creating hard water that wreaks havoc on your plumbing system. You'll notice white scale deposits on faucets and showerheads, spots on dishes and glassware, soap scum buildup in tubs and showers, and appliances that work harder and fail sooner. 

Our water softening systems remove these minerals before they enter your distribution system, delivering:

• Spot-free dishes and fixtures
• 25-30% improved water heater efficiency
• Extended appliance lifespans by years
• Better-lathering soap and softer laundry

Remove Health Threats

Approximately one in ten Maine wells exceeds the EPA's arsenic maximum contaminant level of 10 parts per billion. Kennebec County has documented PFAS detections in multiple locations, including areas with historical land application of sludge and septage. Nearly one in five Maine wells contains radon levels above the state's Maximum Exposure Guideline of 4,000 pCi/L.

Our specialized filtration removes arsenic and PFAS to undetectable levels using reverse osmosis or adsorptive media systems. Aeration systems eliminate radon before it enters your plumbing, stripping dissolved gas and venting it safely outdoors to dramatically reduce indoor exposure and protect your family's long-term health.

Eliminate Chlorine and Sediment

Public water systems use chlorine for essential disinfection, but this creates taste and odor issues that many residents find objectionable. Additionally, chlorine reacts with natural organic matter to form disinfection byproducts. Gardiner's historic homes and older municipal infrastructure can sometimes release sediment, which appears as cloudiness, discoloration, or visible particles in your water.

Our activated carbon filtration removes chlorine and byproducts at your kitchen sink or throughout your entire home. Sediment filters installed at your pressure tank or main water line capture particles before they reach fixtures and appliances, preventing clogs and extending equipment life.
