Water Conditioning Services in the Finger Lakes Region

Water testing, softeners, filtration, reverse osmosis. Yes, we do it all, and we do it right.

With Halco's whole-home approach to comfort, energy savings, and health, the answer is always "Yes, we do that!"

If you’ve noticed white scale buildup on faucets, soap that won’t lather, dry skin after showers, or strange smells coming from your water, you’re not alone. Many homes across the Finger Lakes struggle with hard water and other water quality issues, including iron staining, sulfur odors, and chlorine taste.

Halco Home Solutions’ locally owned and operated team provides whole-home water conditioning systems that solve these problems for good. Whether you’re on a municipal supply or a private well, we’ll help you enjoy water that’s clean, soft, and safe.

Benefits of Halco’s Whole Home Water Treatment System

One Simple Installation: Our pre-packaged system is delivered on an easy-to-install skid, making setup quick and hassle-free.

Chlorine-Free Water: Enjoy fresh, clean water without the unpleasant taste and potential risks of chlorine byproducts.

Healthier Skin & Hair: Soft water prevents dryness, irritation, and buildup from hard minerals.

Longer-Lasting Plumbing & Appliances: Reduce scale buildup and extend the life of your water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine.

Bottled Water Quality, Straight from the Tap: Say goodbye to plastic waste. Fill your reusable bottles with purified, great-tasting water.

Purified Ice & Drinking Water: Reverse osmosis filtration provides clean, fresh-tasting water directly to your kitchen faucet and freezer ice maker.

Do You Need to Treat Your Home’s Water Supply?

While city water is treated to be safe for consumption, it often contains elements that can negatively impact your home and health over time. 

Common Concerns with Municipal Water:

  • Hard Minerals: City water can contain up to 25 grains of hardness, leading to dry skin, brittle hair, and damage to plumbing fixtures.
  • Chlorine: Used to disinfect water, chlorine can leave an unpleasant taste and odor, and may even create harmful byproducts.
  • Impurities & Microorganisms: Even treated water can contain residual contaminants, affecting taste and safety.
  • Appliance Damage: Hard water can lead to scale buildup in water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, reducing efficiency and lifespan.

Trusted Products. Expert Installation.

At Halco, we only install a three-stage system that softens the water, filters out the harmful chlorine, and then uses reverse osmosis to create drinking water that is equal or many times superior to bottled water

This system allows you to consume all of your drinking water out of a refillable container and stop all of the bottled water containers from going to the landfill. This three stage system includes:

89 Series Water Softener

Removes hardness minerals that damage pipes, reduce soap effectiveness, and dry out your skin.

HTO Upflow Conditioner

A dual-purpose carbon system that filters chlorine and softens water, all in one compact unit.

H.E.R.O™ Reverse Osmosis System

Delivers great-tasting, purified drinking water with up to 75 gallons per day of output.

We also add a pump to ensure your sink faucets, drinking faucets, and ice makers get the cleaned and softened water. 

FAQs About Water Conditioning
