Many Toms River residents deal with water quality issues, like hard water, unpleasant taste and smell, and PFAS (forever chemicals), without knowing the best solutions. MyGuy Plumbing & Drain has been providing New Jersey residents with water quality solutions for several years. Whether you are concerned about spotty dishes, hard mineral buildup on faucets and appliances, or health concerns related to PFAS, our water treatment experts are here for you.
The way to improve your home’s water quality starts by knowing what’s actually in your water. Whether you have the results from a municipal reading or we test your water for you, we’ll walk you through the results and provide you with the most cost-effective options. Regardless of your decision, we use our expertise to educate you and aid you in your decision-making process, being as hands-on or hands-off as you require.
Now let’s look at the common water quality concerns in New Jersey homes that rely on municipal water and well water.
New Jersey municipal water systems are partly sourced from our groundwater aquifers and surface water reservoirs. Both sources are natural but also come in contact with minerals like magnesium and calcium in their travel. These hard water minerals can build up in faucets, showerheads, and glassware, and they cause scale buildup inside pipes and water heaters.
Other symptoms of hard water include dry skin and hair, spotty dishes, and chalky soap deposits on clothes out of the dishwasher.
If your water has a metallic taste, a chlorine-like smell, or a rotten egg smell, something in your water supply is usually the culprit. Chlorine used in municipal water treatment can leave a noticeable taste and smell, while sulfur bacteria or dissolved minerals in well water often produce that distinctive rotten egg odor. Neither means your water is unsafe to drink, but it can make cooking and drinking water an unpleasant experience.
Cloudy water or visible particles settling at the bottom of a water glass are signs of sediment, rust, or mineral particles making their way into your water supply. Aging pipe infrastructure, main supply clogs and other disturbances, and naturally occurring sediment in well water contribute to cloudy water. Mineral sediment can also build up in your hot water tank, causing it to work inefficiently and even corrode more quickly from the inside.
Beyond taste, smell, and appearance, many homeowners are becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of their drinking water. Concerns around PFAS, often referred to as “forever chemicals,” have grown significantly in New Jersey. These man-made compounds are detectable in water systems across the state, and New Jersey has created some of the strictest drinking water standards in the country.
With the MyGuy Membership Package, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing your plumbing is properly cared for and running smoothly.

Whether you are in a new home or have never had your water tested, it’s important to know exactly what makes up your water. Water testing identifies the specific contaminants, mineral content, and overall composition of your water, which allows for a specific treatment plan.
We help homeowners set up a home water test with a licensed lab and assess the results to determine the best course of action. Testing is especially beneficial for residents who use a water well, which is not regulated as highly as municipal systems.
Once you understand what’s in your water, the next step is choosing a treatment system that addresses those specific concerns, from one point-of-use system to a whole-home water filtration system, or even both.
Water filtration systems are designed to remove contaminants such as sediment, chlorine, certain chemicals, and other debris from your water supply. Install this system for a single point of use, such as under the kitchen sink, or as a whole-home unit that treats your water as it enters your house.
Water softeners are designed to remove hard water minerals like magnesium and calcium using a sodium ion exchange process. The softened water helps extend the life of your water heater and appliances, improves soap and detergent performance, and will make a noticeable difference in how your skin and hair feel after washing. They do require periodic salt refills and maintenance visits to keep working properly.
Water conditioning is an alternative to water softening, using crystallization to alter the structure of hard water minerals without removing them from the water entirely. Water conditioning systems are a popular choice for New Jersey homeowners who want the benefits of reduced mineral scale without the maintenance requirements of a water softener.
Reverse osmosis systems use a membrane to filter out water molecules, making them highly effective at removing a wide range of contaminants, including PFAS and heavy metals. These are installed as point-of-use systems, generally in the kitchen for all cooking and drinking needs.
Choosing the right water treatment solution is always based on the results of your water quality test, your budget, and your priorities. A home dealing primarily with hard water might benefit most from a softener or conditioning system, while a home with strange-tasting water, odors, or PFAS contamination concerns might need filtration and reverse osmosis.
MyGuy Plumbing & Drain will always walk you through your options and recommend a water treatment plan that addresses all of your concerns. With proper maintenance, we guarantee your new system lasts for years.
Having a local and family-owned plumbing and water treatment solutions company in your pocket is the best and easiest way to guarantee you are getting the cleanest water you deserve.

Water softeners are a necessary upgrade for New Jersey homes that are experiencing cloudy water, mineral buildup on appliances, and have tested for high levels of magnesium and calcium. Talk with your local plumber at MyGuy Plumbing & Drain for your options.
Water filtration systems need maintenance once or twice a year, and the best way to guarantee this happens is with our maintenance package. Sediment filters need changing at least every six months, and reverse osmosis systems need changing every year.
Poor water quality can absolutely damage your plumbing. Hard water minerals contribute to clogs, while chemicals like chlorine can wear down metal pipes and degrade piping seals. Poor water quality will also lead to low water pressure or weaken pipe structure and cause them to burst.
