Water Treatment Services in Westbrook

When it comes to your home or business, understanding your water is just as important as treating it. At FONTUS Water Treatment, we take the time to explain what’s in your supply, why it matters, and which solutions make sense for your property. Our approach is straightforward, helping you make informed decisions without confusion.

Westbrook’s water comes primarily from the Sebago Lake watershed and is treated by the Portland Water District before reaching homes and businesses. Even though the public system meets state and federal standards, older pipes can still affect taste, odor, and mineral content.

For private well owners, local geology can introduce naturally occurring elements like arsenic, radon, and iron, often invisible without proper testing. That’s why homeowners and businesses throughout Westbrook rely on FONTUS Water Treatment for on-site analysis and solutions tailored to local conditions.

Every solution starts with clarity. 

Our on-site water test provides results for:

• Hardness (calcium and magnesium)
• Iron and manganese

Instead of waiting for lab results, you get actionable insights before we leave. We explain what the readings mean and recommend solutions that fit your home, business, and daily water use.

Common Water Issues We See in Westbrook

• Hard water leaving mineral spots on dishes and buildup in plumbing
• Iron staining that creates orange or brown marks in sinks and tubs
• Chlorine taste or odor in city-supplied water
• Arsenic or radon in private wells
• Sulfur odor from hydrogen sulfide in certain groundwater areas

Every property is different. That’s why we start with testing and let the results guide the solution.

Why Clean Water Just Feels Better

When your water quality improves, the difference in everyday life is easy to notice. Clients often enjoy better-tasting coffee, tea, and meals, softer laundry with brighter clothes, showers that feel fresher on skin and hair, and longer-lasting appliances like dishwashers and water heaters. It can also help prevent plumbing issues from scale or mineral buildup.

It’s not just about health, these improvements make daily life more comfortable, reduce wear on your home’s systems, and support long-term property value.

Seasonal Water Concerns

In Southern Maine, water quality can shift with the seasons. After the spring thaw, runoff often carries extra sediment or organic material into wells. By summer, dry weather can make minerals more concentrated, leading to harder water. And when winter rolls in, older pipes are more prone to corrosion from the cold.

Regular testing throughout the year helps spot these changes early, so you can keep your water clean, balanced, and tasting the way it should.

We Offer Water Treatment for Businesses Too

Reliable water is critical for local businesses. Restaurants and cafés need it for better-tasting food and drinks, offices and rental properties rely on it for staff and tenants, and industrial facilities use it to reduce scale and protect equipment.

At FONTUS Water Treatment, we design practical systems that fit each business’s needs and budget, whether it’s improving taste, protecting appliances, or supporting consistent operations in Westbrook.

Good Thing to Know About Us

FONTUS Water Treatment was founded in 2019 by Thomas Marcisso, a former Merchant Marine engineer who managed water production on offshore oil platforms worldwide. That experience instilled a deep respect for reliability and long-term performance.

When Thomas returned home to Maine, he combined that experience with his father’s background at Pine State Services to start FONTUS Water Treatment, helping local families and businesses get practical, dependable water solutions.

The name Fontus comes from the Roman god of wells and springs, a reminder of how essential clean water is to everyday life. Today, we continue that mission across southern Maine with honest testing, thoughtful system design, and steady support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need water treatment if I’m on public water?

Even treated water can carry chlorine taste, odor, or minor sediment. Many residents choose additional filtration or softening for better household comfort.

How often should I test my water?

Private wells should be tested yearly. For city water, testing every few years, or whenever you notice changes in taste, odor, or staining, is a good habit.

What’s the difference between a reverse osmosis filter and a pitcher filter?

Pitcher filters help with taste but don’t remove many dissolved solids. Reverse osmosis provides a deeper level of purification for cooking and drinking.

Can treatment systems handle Maine’s seasonal water changes?

Yes. Regular testing and scheduled maintenance keep systems functioning efficiently through spring runoff, summer drought, and winter conditions.
