Professional Cambridge Drinking Water System

Not every home needs the same kind of water system. It depends on your water source, your setup, and what problems you are trying to fix. Here are some popular systems Cambridge homeowners often choose:

1. Reverse Osmosis Systems

This system gives you clean, pure water by removing things like lead, bacteria, and other unwanted particles. It’s a solid choice if you are looking for better-tasting and safer water. We usually install it right under the kitchen sink, so it’s always within reach when you need it.

2. Carbon Filtration Systems

Carbon filters help get rid of chlorine, odd smells, and weird flavours in your water. They are simple, don’t need a lot of space, and work well for everyday use. If you want an easy upgrade, this one’s worth it.

3. UV Water Purification

UV systems kill bacteria and viruses using light. It’s a smart choice for anyone who’s worried about germs but doesn’t want anything added to their water. It’s a safe, clean, and low-maintenance method. 

4. Water Softeners

If your water leaves spots on your taps or makes your skin feel dry, it’s due to hard water. A softener removes extra minerals like calcium and magnesium, helping protect your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. We can install one fast, and you’ll notice the difference right away.

Not sure if it’s time to upgrade your water setup? Watch out for these signs:

• You are tired of spending money on bottled water.
• Tap water tastes weird or has a strong smell.
• White marks keep showing up on your sinks or faucets.
• Your kettle or dishwasher has visible scale buildup.
• The water smells like chlorine or has a chemical-like scent.

A blocked sink is quite frustrating and can slow down your day. Our plumbers fix it fast using the right tools and methods. They clear clogs, check for deeper issues, and make sure your sink drains smoothly again. Know how they do it. At TrustFlow Plumbing and Heating, we follow a systematic approach to clearing sink blockages quickly and efficiently.

1. Drain Inspection

Our plumbers begin with a detailed inspection to check the cause of the blockage. This helps us choose the best method for clearing the drain. Sometimes we use specialized drain cameras to inspect deep clogs.

Many people assume tap water is always safe. But in reality, it often carries unwanted stuff like chlorine, lead, bacteria, and other particles you don’t want in your glass. In fact, reports from groups like the Environmental Working Group (EWG) show millions of Canadians drink water with unsafe levels of pollutants. 

1. Healthier Water

Just because your water looks clear doesn’t mean it’s clean. Harmful stuff like bacteria, chemicals, or even metals can be hiding in there. Germs like E. coli and Cryptosporidium don’t always come with warning signs. A proper filtration system helps remove those hidden threats, giving you safer water for drinking, cooking, and rinsing your fruits and veggies.

2. Better Taste and Smell

If your water tastes a bit off or smells like bleach, it’s probably the chlorine or other chemicals used during treatment. A good filter can clear that right up, leaving you with fresh, clean-tasting water straight from the tap. No more holding your nose while taking a sip!

3. Protects Plumbing and Appliances

Hard water might not seem like a big deal at first, but those minerals, like calcium and magnesium, build up inside your pipes and appliances. Over time, that buildup can clog things and wear down your dishwasher, washing machine, and more. A water softener helps prevent all that damage and keeps your plumbing running better, longer.

4. Cost Savings

Grabbing bottled water every day adds up fast. Before you know it, you’re spending over $1,500 a year. A home filtration system is way more budget-friendly. It’s a one-time setup with low maintenance costs, and you’ll always have clean water ready when you need it.

5. Eco-Friendly Choice

All those plastic water bottles have to go somewhere, and too often, they end up in landfills or pollute our oceans. Switching to filtered tap water cuts way down on plastic waste. It’s a simple switch that helps you protect the planet while still enjoying clean, safe water.

Getting a drinking water system set up in your home is a smart move. It connects directly to your main supply and filters water right from the source. At TrustFlow Plumbing and Heating, here is how we make it easy for Cambridge homeowners:

Step 1: Consultation and Water Testing

One of our licensed plumbers visits your place to test the water. We check for things like chlorine, bacteria, and hardness. This helps us understand what kind of system will actually solve your water problems.

Step 2: Pick the Right System

Based on the test results, we will walk you through your options, including reverse osmosis, UV purifiers, carbon filters, or softeners. You get to choose what fits your home or business best.

Step 3: Professional Installation

Once you decide, we handle the full setup. We connect the system to your water line and make sure everything runs the way it should.

Step 4: Maintenance and Replacement

We don’t just install and walk away. We offer regular maintenance, filter changes, and system checks so your water stays clean year-round.

Once your water system is in place, a little upkeep goes a long way. Here is how to make sure it keeps doing its job in your Cambridge home:

• Clean the system regularly to avoid dirt or mineral buildup.
• Swap out the filters as recommended.
• Book a professional check-up once in a while to catch any issues early.
• Test your water every few months to make sure it’s still safe and clear.

Picking the right water system comes down to what’s going on with your water and what your home needs. Some places just need a simple carbon filter to improve taste, while others deal with hard water or other issues that call for a water softener or even a reverse osmosis system. If you’re not sure what’s right for your home, our Cambridge plumbers are here to help you figure it out and find the perfect fit.

Things to Think About:

• Do you have enough space for the system you’re thinking about?
• Are you dealing with chlorine, hard minerals, or bacteria in your water?
• How much water does your family actually use each day?
• What’s your budget, not just to install the system, but to keep it maintained over time?

Even the best drinking water systems can run into issues from time to time. Here is what you might face and how to solve it:

1. Slow Water Flow

Noticing weak water pressure at your taps? That usually means your filters are clogged or your water pressure is too low. Replacing the filters on time often does the trick and gets your flow back to normal. Staying on top of maintenance keeps things running smoothly.

2. Bad Taste or Odor

If your water tastes off or has a weird smell, chances are your filter is old or there’s some bacterial buildup. A quick system clean and a fresh filter can usually solve the issue. You’ll be back to clean, great-tasting water in no time.

3. Leaking System

Seeing drips or wet spots around your system? Leaks often come from loose fittings, cracked tubes, or worn-out seals. Try tightening any loose connections. If the leak sticks around, it’s best to call a Cambridge plumber to check it out and prevent bigger problems.

4. Hard Water Issues

Getting spots on your dishes or buildup on your fixtures? That’s a sign hard water is slipping past your softener. It might need a reset, or the resin beads inside could be worn out. Either way, a quick check or replacement should take care of it.
