Learn about contaminants that may be in the water in Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, & Stroudsburg and the surrounding areas

Some contaminants make themselves known by their smell, taste, or visual appearance. However, there are many contaminants that may be in our local water that you cannot see, taste, or smell. A free home water test by one of our certified water specialists can help you identify the basics of what’s in your water and can then recommend additional testing if necessary. There is no cost or obligation for this service.

There are potentially unhealthy contaminants in your water you don’t want in your body…

Did you know the safe drinking water act of 1974, which dictates the quality of water that you are legally allowed to get out of your tap, regulates less than 100 water contaminants? That’s kind of a long time ago.

Unfortunately, the EPA estimates there are around 60,000 chemicals in the US right now. Just think for a minute about all of the medicines and prescriptions we take, pass through our system, and then end up back in our drinking water unregulated.

Not a fun thought.

Our point isn’t to scare you, just to educate you about water in the US and our local area. To learn more about your tap water, check out this database put together by EWG.org.

To reduce contaminants that may be in your water up to 99% we have high quality Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter systems available along with our dedicated service and maintenance.

We also offer a one-of-a-kind whole-house sediment filter, carbon filter, and water softener all-in-one to improve the water at every tap in your home.

If you have any questions about the best option for you, your family, or your business, use the form on this page and we’ll get in touch with you right away.

After all, that’s why we’re here. To help you get the best quality water within your budget.

This post is for my sister and Brother in law (McCarthy)... who never goes on a computer but wanted to give a big shout out to Kocher's.From Mike McCarthy - The work that Kocher's did was amazing and the fact that they took out the old system for me was so above and beyond anyone I have ever hired to do a job for my home. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional company that is honest, does the job correctly, cleans up after themselves and takes out the old system.I am new to PA and will now always call Kocher's for any of my plumbing needs.Mike McCarthyread more

Called many water treatment companies For acidic water... problem. I knew how to test water and had my own kit. It was unbelievable how many of these water treatment companies try to convince you that you needed so much more than you really did & at such a high cost. This gentleman was honest! Simply got a water neutralizer -didn’t need the softener and everything else that was trying to be sold to me. Highly recommendread more

What does the safe drinking water act say?

(table)The safe drinking water act (SDWA) says that the quality of all drinking water must be protected and authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish minimum standards requiring all owners and/or operators of public water systems to comply with these standards. Under the Act, the EPA also establishes minimum standards for state programs to protect underground sources of drinking water.

What is the best water to drink?

The best water to drink is the one that you will drink the most of and the most often. However, if you’re looking for a clear breakdown of the benefits to each kind, here is a quick list:
    • Hydrogen Water: Technically the most healthy water to drink, hydrogen water contains hydrogen molecules that act as powerful antioxidants. The claim is these molecules are capable of helping your body neutralize harmful free radicals, reduce inflammation, & slow down aging.
    • Alkaline Water: Classified as water with a pH level of 8 or above, Alkaline Water has become more popular because research shows that an alkaline diet is generally good for health as the body thrives when it is able to maintain a slightly alkaline pH. While low on minerals & nutrients, alkaline water has been shown to relieve symptoms of upset stomach, increase the body’s overall absorption of minerals by 30%, and reduce blood pressure by 15% (see study).
    • Distilled Water: Distilled water has the highest level of purity and is almost sterile. Sometimes called demineralized or deionized water, distilled water is water that has had everything removed (including ions and minerals). So while it’s the purest form of water that you can get, it literally has nothing in it (good or bad). There are no harmful side effects to drinking distilled water but it is not recommended as the sole source of drinking water as it lacks basic minerals & nutrients that are beneficial in water.
    • Bottled Water: Bottled water is a convenient way to access clean safe drinking water however, some large water brands have admitted that their bottled water is nothing more than filtered tap water and it comes with a large environmental cost due to its single serve plastic container. Bottled water also has a shelf life (yes, really) as the plastic leaches into the water overtime, effectively contaminating it.
    • Boiled Water: While boiling your water is one of the cheapest ways to purify your water, boiling only kills pathogens and is not capable of removing other contaminants such as like lead, pesticides, nitrates and other chemicals. Boiling water also lends a very flat taste to the water which most people do not prefer.
    • Tap Water:

Is tap water safe to drink?

While tap water is “safe” to drink EWG (Environmental Working Group) did a 5-year study looking at the quality of US tap water and the results showed that tap water supplied to all 50 states contained over 500 different contaminants. While we tend that think that the water that arrives in our homes is “filtered” the truth is that municipal water treatment facilities only treat for specific regulated contaminants (not all) & even worse, the lead pipes the water travels through to your home introduce more contaminants to your water on its journey.
