Abingtons wells are the hardness exception

Water Softener Installation in Clarks Summit

Clarks Summit, Waverly, and South Abington sit above Scranton — and the wells up here often run genuinely hard, with iron and seasonal sediment riding along. That is the opposite of Scranton city water, which is officially soft. If someone quoted you a carbon-only city package for an Abingtons well, they had the wrong map. We measure hardness, iron, and pH free at your tap.

Pennsylvania does not regulate these wells. Spring melt can turn clear August water cloudy. Hardness commonly lands well above 7 grains per gallon — firmly in softener territory — but iron fouls resin if you skip the right stage first. We design a short train from the panel: iron when the stains say so, then a softener sized to the actual grains, not a neighbor’s tank.

Problems this system solves

The payoff

Why NEPA homeowners choose this system

Sized to Abingtons hardness

Your grains per gallon, your household — wells fifty feet apart can differ.

Iron handled in the right order

Protect the resin. Stains are not a detergent problem.

Well-first, not city-first

We will not sell Scranton carbon as a Clarks Summit softener.

Free well test

Hardness, iron, pH, TDS. Honest no if a street is actually on municipal and already soft.

Frequently asked questions

Is Clarks Summit water hard?
Abingtons wells usually yes — often well above 7 grains per gallon. A few borough streets are municipal and may be softer. A pressure tank means well. We measure either way.
What does a softener cost in Clarks Summit?
We do not quote before measuring. The free in-home test produces your numbers and a written recommendation sized to them — no obligation either way.
Can one tank fix iron and hardness?
Usually a short train: iron filtration first when milligrams are high, then a softener. We quote the train from your test, not a bundle that ignores iron.
Why not copy Scranton city advice?
Pennsylvania American Water’s valley supply is officially soft. Abingtons wells are a different aquifer. That honesty is the whole point of testing.
Dalton, Factoryville, Newton Township?
Same well country. Still a tap-by-tap design.
