Very hard water
The Horsham Water and Sewer Authority describes its water as very hard — roughly 200 to 350 mg/L. Scale shortens the life of water heaters, fixtures and anything with a heating element.
Homes from 1950 to 1990
If your furnace or air conditioner is original to a 1970s or ’80s house, it’s well past the usual working life of that equipment.
A mix of home types
About 57% single-family detached, 20% townhomes and twins, and 23% apartments and condos — each with different equipment and access.

QUESTIONS
Horsham Questions, Answered
How hard is Horsham’s water?
The Horsham Water and Sewer Authority reports its water as very hard, roughly 200 to 350 mg/L as calcium carbonate, and recommends sizing softeners at about 275 mg/L (16 grains per gallon).
Is Horsham’s public water affected by the PFAS contamination?
PFAS from past activity at the former Willow Grove Naval Air Station was found in Horsham’s public wells starting in 2014. The Horsham Water and Sewer Authority added treatment to every well and reported non-detect levels across its system by early 2024. For current results, see the authority’s water-quality reports. If you’re on a private well, having it tested is still worthwhile.
Do you install water softeners?
Water softeners aren’t one of our core services, so call (610) 809-6903 and tell us what you need — we’ll tell you straight whether it’s a job for us. What we do handle is what Horsham’s hard water wears out: water heater flushing, repair and replacement.
How quickly can you get to Horsham?
We reach Horsham from our base in Lansdale. How soon we can be there depends on the day’s schedule, so call (610) 809-6903 and we’ll give you a straight answer on the earliest time. For work that isn’t urgent, you can also book online.
