716 Water Filtration & Softeners in Buffalo & Western New York
Water treatment companies test your water, then install whole-house sediment and carbon filters, water softeners, reverse osmosis drinking systems, and well water equipment such as iron and sulfur filters, acid neutralizers and UV disinfection. The equipment usually sits in the basement where the main water line enters the house.
What to know in WNY
Most Buffalo-area homes on municipal water get treated Lake Erie or Niagara River water; your utility's annual water quality report lists its hardness and test results, and is the best place to start. Homes on private wells in rural Erie and Niagara counties are a different story: well owners are responsible for their own testing, and local treatment companies commonly deal with hardness, iron, sulfur smell and bacteria. Test first, then buy equipment sized to the results, and protect basement equipment and lines from freezing.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a water softener on city water?
Not necessarily. Check your utility's water quality report for hardness, and look for signs like scale on fixtures and spotting on dishes. A water test from a reputable company or certified lab will tell you whether a softener is worth it.
How often should well water be tested?
Common guidance for private wells is to test at least once a year for bacteria, and after flooding, repairs or a change in taste, color or smell. Your county health department can advise on certified labs.
Are free in-home water tests reliable?
They are useful screening tools, and several local companies offer them. For health-related contaminants, ask for a certified lab test so you have independent results before buying equipment.
What does a softener or filter cost?
