Why Gig Harbor Homeowners Choose Whole-Home Filtration
The City of Gig Harbor says all of its water comes from underground aquifers, pumped from a series of wells. The city reports that its water meets state and federal standards, and it tests its wells on a regular schedule.
The city also notes that iron and manganese are found at various levels in most water sources and can cause discolored water, fixture staining and sometimes taste problems. It flushes its water mains twice a year to reduce manganese, rust and sediment.
Many peninsula homes outside city service rely on private wells, where the owner is responsible for testing. We start with a water test, then recommend only what your water needs.
