Water filtration in New Jersey

Northern New Jersey towns in Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Hudson and Morris counties drink reservoir water from systems such as Wanaque and Oradell, treated with chlorine or chloramine, and homeowners there describe moderate hardness, chlorine taste and spotting on glassware. Central and southern counties, from Middlesex and Monmouth down through Ocean, Burlington and Camden, lean on groundwater from the Kirkwood-Cohansey and other coastal plain aquifers, which runs harder and can carry iron.

New Jersey was the first state to set its own drinking water limits for PFAS, and the chemicals have been found in supplies across the state, so the question we hear most often is what a home system can do about them. Galene's G-Guard pairs PFAS-targeting resin with carbon filtration and salt-free conditioning in one whole-house install, and we explain exactly what it is designed to do at the consultation.

In Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon and the rural parts of Morris and Somerset counties, homes run on private wells, and the complaints are hardness, iron staining and sulfur smell. The GWL well system, with a G-O2 aerator where sulfur or iron call for it, covers that water.
