Residential Water Treatment Services
At Clear Water Filtration, we provide comprehensive water treatment solutions for Montpelier homes, addressing everything from basic water quality concerns to complex contamination issues.
Before recommending any treatment solution, we believe in thoroughly understanding your water. Our water testing services for Montpelier homes evaluate your water for a comprehensive range of contaminants and quality factors that affect your daily life.
Vermont well water and even municipal supplies can contain various contaminants that impact taste, safety, and the longevity of your plumbing and appliances. Our testing identifies issues including:
Hard water affects countless Montpelier homes, causing problems that range from annoying to expensive. Scale buildup clogs pipes, reduces water heater efficiency, leaves spots on dishes and fixtures, and makes soap and detergents less effective.
Our water softening solutions utilize Kinetico systems renowned for their reliability and efficiency. Unlike electric water softeners that require timers and programming, Kinetico systems are powered by the kinetic energy of moving water, operating without electricity and regenerating based on actual water usage rather than arbitrary schedules.
Benefits of our water softening services for Montpelier homes include:
For Montpelier homeowners seeking the purest possible drinking water, our reverse osmosis (RO) systems provide exceptional filtration at the point of use. These systems remove up to 99% of dissolved contaminants, producing crystal-clear water perfect for drinking, cooking, and making coffee or tea.
Our RO installations typically include dedicated faucets at your kitchen sink, providing convenient access to purified water whenever you need it. We carry systems from Kinetico, Aqua Bubble, and Entipur to match different household needs and budgets.
Montpelier homes relying on well water or concerned about biological contamination benefit from our UV disinfection systems. These systems use ultraviolet light to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms without adding chemicals to your water.
We install Viqua UV systems, industry leaders in residential water disinfection. These systems provide continuous protection against biological contaminants while maintaining the natural taste and mineral content of your water.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination has become a significant concern throughout Vermont, and Montpelier is no exception. These "forever chemicals" don't break down naturally and have been linked to various health concerns.
Clear Water Filtration holds government contracts for PFAS/PFO treatment, giving us specialized expertise in addressing these emerging contaminants. Our PFAS treatment solutions for Montpelier homes utilize specialized filtration media proven effective against these persistent compounds.
Our owner Jen's position on the Technical Advisory Committee to the Governor of Vermont keeps us at the forefront of PFAS regulations and treatment developments affecting Washington County and the entire state.
Many Montpelier properties rely on private wells for their water supply. While well water often tastes better than chlorinated municipal water, it can contain naturally occurring contaminants requiring treatment.
Our comprehensive well water treatment services address common Vermont groundwater issues:
We begin every well water project with thorough testing to understand exactly what your Montpelier well contains, then design a treatment system specifically matched to those conditions.

Where We Serve
From our home base in Waitsfield, VT, we provide water treatment services throughout the Green Mountain State. Each community has its own water quality characteristics based on local geology and water sources - and after 45 years, we've tested thousands of wells across Vermont and understand the regional variations that affect which treatment approaches work best.
Forever Chemicals
PFAS contamination in Vermont affects both municipal water systems and private wells, but the exposure pathways and responsibilities differ significantly. Montpelier homeowners and business owners should understand which situation applies to their property.
Montpelier's municipal drinking water system is subject to Vermont Agency of Natural Resources monitoring requirements and must comply with Vermont's PFAS maximum contaminant levels. Public utilities are required to test, report, and remediate when PFAS levels exceed regulatory thresholds. Residents on city water can access PFAS data through annual Consumer Confidence Reports published by the utility.
Wastewater treatment plants present a separate issue - treated effluent and biosolids can contribute PFAS back into soil and groundwater under certain conditions, which is why Vermont has been developing specific wastewater PFAS guidance. Homeowners with wells near agricultural fields that received biosolids applications should be especially attentive to PFAS testing.
Private well owners in the Montpelier area and throughout Washington County bear their own testing responsibility. There is no automatic monitoring for private wells - if PFAS is present, you will not know without testing. Vermont's bedrock and glacial geology creates complex groundwater flow paths that make PFAS migration difficult to predict from surface-level information alone.
Clear Water Filtration holds government and municipal PFAS treatment contracts in Vermont, giving us hands-on experience at treatment scales far beyond the typical residential job. Our Class III Water Operator on staff, Jen Fleckenstein (CWS), brings certified technical expertise to every PFAS consultation. We work with a certified lab partner for PFAS testing and design treatment systems - reverse osmosis, high-capacity activated carbon, or combined approaches - sized appropriately for your Montpelier property.
PFAS Treatment SystemsKnow Your Water
Understanding your water quality is the foundation of any treatment decision. Clear Water Filtration offers a complimentary in-home water test for Montpelier homeowners - no obligation, no sales pressure, just honest answers about what is in your water. Book your free in-home water test online or call 802-496-5544; water testing in Montpelier is scheduled from our Waitsfield shop in the same county.
Our certified water specialist visits your Montpelier home, collects samples, and tests on-site for the parameters most commonly associated with Vermont water quality issues:
Some contaminants require certified laboratory analysis - our in-home test cannot quantify them. If your situation calls for deeper investigation, we coordinate certified-lab testing for PFAS, arsenic, uranium, nitrates, bacteria, and other contaminants specific to your Washington County water source.
We help you determine which tests are warranted based on your water source (municipal vs. private well), your home's age and plumbing, your location in Montpelier or surrounding Washington County towns, and any specific concerns you have noticed - taste, odor, staining, or health-related questions.
Montpelier's municipal system is monitored under Vermont Agency of Natural Resources requirements and the state PFAS maximum contaminant level, so residents on city water can read their utility's results. A private well has no automatic monitoring: if PFAS is present, nothing will tell you until a sample is analyzed. Wells near fields that received biosolids applications are a particular reason to test.
PFAS testing in Montpelier starts during the free visit. PFAS is measured in parts per trillion, and homeowner-collected samples often produce errors from containers, hands or clothing, so our technician collects the sample using the proper protocol and sends it to our certified lab partner. Results take weeks rather than minutes because the analysis is done in a laboratory, and we go over them with you when they come back.
If PFAS is found, the fix is treatment rather than a new well: high-capacity activated carbon, reverse osmosis at the drinking tap, or both, sized to your home and your numbers. Read more about PFAS water treatment in Vermont, or see the full range of water testing services in Vermont we offer alongside the free in-home test.
Our Montpelier-area specialists are available Monday through Friday, with emergency availability seven days a week. Call us or submit a request online.
