THE DETAILS, WHEN YOU NEED THEM
Rancho Cordova’s municipal water supply is moderately hard and chlorinated, which means mineral buildup in your pipes and a noticeable taste at the tap. JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air is an authorized Puronics water treatment dealer with more than 45 years of plumbing experience serving the Greater Sacramento Area. Our vetted, no-commission technicians assess what your home actually needs and recommend a solution based on that, not a sales target.
We offer flat-rate pricing on all water filtration work, free estimates, and no overtime or after-hours charges. Licensed, insured, and BBB-accredited, we bring the same trusted approach to water treatment that Rancho Cordova homeowners have counted on from us since 1981.
Ready to get started? Call (916) 909-4083 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7 and can schedule same-day and weekend appointments at no extra charge.
Hard water carries elevated levels of calcium and magnesium. Over time, those minerals deposit as white limescale on fixtures, inside pipes, and inside appliances. The buildup forces your water heater to work harder to reach temperature, which can shorten its lifespan and drive up energy use. Dishwashers and washing machines face the same gradual wear.
Chlorine in the water supply adds an unpleasant taste and odor at every tap, and hard water exposure is linked to dry skin and hair. A whole-home filtration system treats water at the main supply line so that every fixture and appliance in the house receives filtered water from the moment it enters.
Our authorized Puronics dealer status means our technicians are trained specifically in Puronics water treatment and filtration systems. Here’s what else sets us apart:
If you’re noticing scale on your fixtures, off-tasting tap water, or appliances that aren’t lasting as long as they should, a water filtration system could make a real difference. We can assess your home’s water quality and walk you through the right options at a flat, upfront price.
Call (916) 909-4083 to schedule your free estimate. We’re available 24/7, and same-day and weekend appointments don’t cost extra.
The right filtration solution depends on the specific water quality concerns in your home. Some households need help with hardness minerals; others are mainly dealing with chlorine taste or sediment. Here’s how the most common system types differ.
Whole-Home Point-of-Entry Systems Installed directly at the main water line, these systems filter every drop of water that enters your home. Every tap, appliance, and fixture benefits from the same level of treatment.
Reverse Osmosis Systems A semi-permeable membrane removes dissolved solids, chlorine, lead, and other contaminants at the point of use. These are typically installed under the kitchen sink and supply filtered water for drinking and cooking.
Water Softeners Using a salt-based ion exchange process, water softeners reduce the calcium and magnesium that cause hard water. This helps prevent scale from forming in pipes, water heaters, and appliances throughout the home.
Activated Carbon Filters These target chlorine, chloramines, and organic compounds that affect the taste and smell of tap water. They’re a practical choice when hardness isn’t the primary concern.
UV Purification Systems UV systems neutralize bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms without introducing any chemicals. They’re often paired with other filtration methods for a more complete treatment approach.
Filtration isn’t just about drinking water. It has a direct effect on the lifespan of your plumbing infrastructure. Scale from hard water is a leading cause of premature water heater failure and reduced efficiency, and sediment accumulates in pipes over years, narrowing flow and accelerating wear. A filtration or softening system installed alongside a new water heater helps protect that investment from day one.
Because JR Putman Plumbing, Heating & Air handles complete plumbing services alongside water treatment, including water heater installation and repair, drain solutions, gas line plumbing, and backflow services, one call covers filtration and any related plumbing work. No coordinating between contractors, and accountability stays in one place.
