Our Water Treatment Services
Compass handles water softener and filtration installation for Wichita-area homeowners. Here’s what we offer:
Water Softeners
Hard water wears on your home from the inside out. A whole-home water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale buildup, spotty fixtures and shortened appliance life.
Water Filtration
Filtration systems remove contaminants that a softener doesn’t address, like sediment, chlorine, bacteria and more. Compass installs whole-home filtration and drinking water systems based on what your water actually needs.
Signs Your Home Could Benefit From Water Treatment
Hard water and water quality issues aren’t always obvious right away. Here are the signs Wichita homeowners commonly notice:
White Buildup on Fixtures
Chalky scale on faucets, showerheads and appliances is a classic sign of hard water mineral deposits.
Soap Won’t Lather
Hard water interferes with soap and shampoo, leaving a filmy residue on skin, hair and surfaces instead of a clean rinse.
Stiff or Dingy Laundry
Minerals in hard water can leave clothes feeling rough and looking faded, even with good detergent.
Unusual Taste or Odor
Chlorine taste, a sulfur-like smell or metallic notes in your tap water point to a filtration issue rather than a softening one.
Appliances Wearing Out Early
Hard water shortens the lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers and washing machines by causing internal scale buildup.
Spots on Dishes & Glassware
Water spots and cloudy film on dishes after washing—even in the dishwasher—are a strong indicator of hard water.
If any of these sound familiar, Compass can assess your water and recommend the right solution for your home.
