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.

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.
