Arsenic in Water in SW Washington
Arsenic is a common water issue in Washington, however, it can be easily and affordably removed with an under-sink, whole-home, or point-of-entry filter from United Water Services.
According to the CDC, “Arsenic can enter the water supply from natural deposits in the earth or from industrial and agricultural pollution. It is widely believed that naturally occurring arsenic dissolves out of certain rock formations when groundwater levels drop significantly. Some industries in the United States release thousands of pounds of arsenic into the environment every year. Once released, arsenic remains in the environment for a long time. Arsenic is removed from the air by rain, snow, and gradual settling. Once on the ground or in surface water, arsenic can slowly enter groundwater. High arsenic levels in private wells may come from certain arsenic-containing fertilizers used in the past or industrial waste. It may also indicate improper well construction or overuse of chemical fertilizers or herbicides in the past.”
How do you know if you have arsenic?
A simple water test can inform you as to the presence and quantity of arsenic in your water. United Water Services offers free basic water testing, affordable laboratory analysis, which is what is needed for arsenic testing, as well as professional analysis of what the test results mean so you know the best way to move forward with treatment.

Blake was the tech that came and installed our arsenic filtration system and he was very efficient. Terry was the one who got us on the schedule, and he responds to phone calls and emails almost immediately. We won’t be trusting any other company with our water in the future!read more

The water treatment system installed & purchased from United Waters has... worked beautifully over the last year!! We had extremely high iron levels in our water. The first few months after installation there were some issues with low water pressure and Troy diligently worked to figure out and resolve the issue. Troy did not charge us for any of the follow- up service calls because he wanted to do right by us as his customers and He Absolutely Did!! Troy’s service and commitment to us, as well as his communication has been Outstanding! I would recommend United Water to anyone looking for a new water treatment system and/or maintenance!! We are very happy with United Water as the company we chose to go with!! Also, cost for new system and rates for installation & maintenance calls are reasonable!!read more

I would definitely recommend United Services for any water softener... install. We just moved in to Hazel Dell area and we were looking for a water softener company. Had three quotes but Troy the ownerUnited Water Services) had the best deal. We had some issues during the install but just a little minor things. Overall , I am a happy customer. By the way, Blake did a very good job on the install.read more

We purchased our home in Vancouver in July 2021 and moved in to find the... city water is very hard. It left lime deposits on our sinks, the toilets and in the showers and was almost impossible to keep clean. You can only imagine what it was doing to the water heater, the dishwasher, ice maker, etc. After doing some research online, we decided to seek a water softener solution.I considered buying my own and getting a plumber to install it, but a friend of mine who had one previously urged me to seek a professional that specialized in water systems. Its more money obviously, but he said in the long run I'd be better off having someone that really knew what they were doing manage this.I got a few different quotes, some from plumbers that install water softeners fairly regularly and one from United Water, who specializes in this. I was very impressed right away with Troy's knowledge of water systems when he came to the house to provide an estimate. It gave me confidence that any money spent with them would be worth it.The estimate came in lower than the others; it was actually $2K lower than one of the estimates. The plumber they use to install the loop from the mainline (Jeff Parrish) was awesome and I plan on calling him for plumbing needs in the future. Blake from UW came out a few days later and installed the water softener.I'm really glad I chose United Water. This is only my second day of using it, but it's nice to know I have a professional organization backing this product.read more
