Reliant Plumbing & Heating installs water filtration and water treatment systems for homeowners in Seabrook and surrounding communities. With more than 20 years of experience in the trade, we can help improve your water with whole-house filtration, water softeners, RO systems, and other treatment equipment. Give us a call to discuss your water and what you would like to improve.
We Can Treat Your Water Problems
A good water treatment system starts with the condition of the water itself. Hardness, sediment, acidity, taste, odor, and specific contaminants call for different types of equipment. Reliant Plumbing & Heating can recommend a system based on your water rather than adding equipment you do not need.
Control Hard Water
Hard water contains elevated levels of minerals that can leave scale on faucets, showerheads, and other surfaces. Those minerals can also accumulate inside water heaters and other equipment that uses water.
A water softener treats hardness before the water travels throughout the house. Besides reducing scale, softened water can help soap and detergent work better and reduce the mineral deposits homeowners frequently find on plumbing fixtures.
Correct Acidic Water
Low-pH water can be particularly hard on a plumbing system. Over time, acidic water may contribute to corrosion in copper pipes and shorten the service life of fixtures or other plumbing components.
An acid neutralizer treats low-pH water before it travels through the home’s plumbing. The appropriate treatment depends on the water conditions, which is one reason we want to understand the water before recommending equipment.
Capture Sediment and Particles
Sand, dirt, rust, and other particles can enter household water and eventually reach faucets, valves, water heaters, and appliances. A sediment filter captures these particles before they continue through the plumbing.
Sediment filtration may also serve as an early treatment stage when a home needs additional water treatment equipment. Removing suspended material first can help the equipment farther down the line do its job properly.
Improve Taste and Odor
A carbon filter can address certain compounds that affect how household water tastes or smells. Carbon filtration is commonly used to reduce chlorine and can be incorporated into a larger water treatment setup when several water-quality concerns need attention.
Improve Your Drinking Water
Whole-house treatment and drinking water filtration serve different purposes. Depending on your goals, Reliant Plumbing & Heating can install equipment for water throughout the house as well as point-of-use treatment for the water your family drinks and cooks with.
Install a Reverse Osmosis System
A reverse osmosis system uses multiple treatment stages and an RO membrane to reduce many dissolved substances in drinking water. Residential RO systems are commonly installed beneath a kitchen sink with a dedicated faucet for filtered water.
An RO system can be a good addition to whole-house treatment because each system handles a different job. The whole-house equipment treats water before it moves through the plumbing, while reverse osmosis provides additional treatment at the point where drinking water is used.
Address PFAS and PFOA Concerns
PFAS and PFOA have become a concern for homeowners who want to know more about what may be present in their drinking water. Treatment options are available for these contaminants, but the filtration equipment needs to be selected for the specific water conditions.
Reliant Plumbing & Heating can use water results to help determine which type of filtration is appropriate rather than assuming a standard household filter will address every contaminant.
Water Treatment Equipment From a Local Source
Reliant Plumbing & Heating works with R.E. Prescott in Exeter, NH, a local water company that supplies proprietary Entipur water treatment products. This gives our team access to a broad selection of equipment for different residential water conditions.
Entipur Water Treatment Systems
The Entipur product line includes complete filtration systems, water softeners, acid neutralizers, sediment filters, carbon filters, greensand systems, ceramic filtration, and other water treatment options.
Having different treatment methods available allows us to recommend equipment based on what needs to change in the water. A home with hard water may need a very different setup from a property with sediment, low pH, or several water-quality concerns at the same time.
Install a System Built for Your Home
Water treatment equipment becomes part of the home’s plumbing system, so its capacity and configuration need to fit the property. We consider the existing plumbing, available space, household water use, and the treatment required when planning an installation.
Size the Equipment Properly
A filtration or treatment system needs enough capacity to keep up with normal household demand. Undersized equipment can restrict flow or require more frequent service, while equipment that is unnecessarily large adds cost without providing a practical benefit.
We select equipment that fits the home’s water use and the job it needs to perform.
Keep Maintenance Practical
Water treatment equipment requires maintenance throughout its service life. Depending on the system, that may include filter changes, treatment media, salt, or other periodic service.
Equipment should also remain accessible after installation. Reliant Plumbing & Heating considers future maintenance when laying out the system so routine service does not become unnecessarily difficult.

Water Filtration System FAQs
How Does the Water Filtration Process Work With Reliant Plumbing & Heating?
We start with a free sales call and a free water sample. Once we have the results, our team can recommend water treatment options based on what your water needs. We then send you a quote that outlines the proposed work, and you decide how you would like to proceed. This gives you the opportunity to understand both the water results and our recommendations before committing to an installation.
Can One System Treat Every Water Quality Problem?
Water treatment equipment is designed for specific purposes, so one system may not address everything found in a water supply. Hard water, sediment, acidity, taste and odor concerns, and drinking water contaminants may require different treatment methods. In homes with several concerns, two or more types of equipment can work together as one treatment setup.
What Does an Acid Neutralizer Do?
An acid neutralizer treats water with a low pH. Acidic water can contribute to corrosion in copper piping and other plumbing components over time. Raising the pH can make the water less aggressive toward the plumbing system. Water results help determine whether an acid neutralizer is appropriate for a particular home.
When Is a Sediment Filter Recommended?
A sediment filter may be recommended when water contains suspended particles such as sand, dirt, or rust. It captures those particles before they travel farther into the plumbing system. Sediment filtration can also be used ahead of other water treatment equipment to prevent particulate material from reaching later treatment stages.
Can I Have an RO System and Whole-House Filtration?
Yes. A whole-house filtration system and reverse osmosis system can perform different jobs in the same home. Whole-house equipment treats water before it reaches fixtures and appliances, while an under-sink RO system provides additional treatment for drinking and cooking water. The combination can make sense when the household has both general water-quality concerns and specific drinking water goals.
What Is an Entipur Water Treatment System?
Entipur is a line of proprietary water treatment products available through R.E. Prescott in Exeter, NH, a local water company that Reliant Plumbing & Heating works with. The product line includes water softeners, neutralizers, sediment filters, carbon filtration, greensand, ceramic filters, complete filtration systems, and other treatment equipment. The particular equipment we recommend depends on the home’s water conditions.
How Do I Maintain a Home Water Filtration System?
Maintenance varies considerably between systems. Cartridge filters need periodic replacement, water softeners require salt, and other treatment equipment may require media replacement or service according to the equipment and water conditions. When Reliant Plumbing & Heating installs a system, we can explain its maintenance requirements so you know what will need attention over time.
