Cherry Hill Water Treatment and Water Testing
Areas Served › Camden County › Cherry Hill
A Clear Alternative is a family-owned South Jersey water treatment company serving
Cherry Hill Township and Camden County, New Jersey since 1991. Cherry Hill is about 10 to 20 minutes from our Pennsauken shop, close enough for same-day service on most routine calls. We treat water, test
water, and deliver bulk water across 8 New Jersey counties — Burlington, Camden, Atlantic, Gloucester, Salem, Cape May, Mercer, and Monmouth — with more
than 9,000 customers, NJ-licensed technicians, free in-home water analysis, and a live
line at 1-888-577-8088 24 hours a day.
Common water problems in Cherry Hill
Cherry Hill is the largest municipality in Camden County — roughly 74,500 residents at
the 2020 census — and it is almost entirely on public water. Water chemistry can
differ from one neighborhood to the next, which is exactly why we test at your tap
instead of quoting from a map.
What Cherry Hill homeowners call us about:
- Chlorine or chloramine taste and odor. The most common complaint in the township.
Free chlorine is easy for carbon to remove; chloramine needs the right media and more
contact time. - Hardness and scale. Spotted glassware, cloudy shower doors, stiff laundry, scaled
water heaters and coffee makers, and soap that will not lather. - Aging plumbing and lead. Cherry Hill’s postwar housing boom means large numbers of
homes in Erlton, Barclay, Kingston Estates, Woodcrest, and Old Orchard predate 1986.
Lead exposure in those homes comes from service lines, solder, and brass fixtures, not
the source water. Point-of-use filtration certified for lead is the practical answer. - Disinfection by-products formed in the distribution system, which activated carbon
reduces. - Discolored water after main work or hydrant flushing — usually iron or manganese
sediment stirred out of older mains. A whole-house sediment and carbon system keeps it
out of fixtures and laundry. - PFAS awareness. New Jersey enforces among the strictest PFAS drinking-water
standards in the country and public suppliers monitor and treat for them. Homeowners
who want a second barrier use reverse osmosis for drinking water.
Why Cherry Hill water needs the right system
Cherry Hill sits on the inner Coastal Plain, and its public supply is drawn largely
from Coastal Plain aquifers including the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy system. Groundwater
supply generally means more dissolved mineral content than a surface-water system, which
is why hardness and scale come up so often in a fully treated, fully compliant municipal
system.
That shapes the equipment. In Cherry Hill the usual right answer is whole-house carbon
filtration for chlorine, taste, odor, and by-products; a correctly sized softener or
conditioner only if scale is measurably damaging appliances; and a point-of-use reverse
osmosis system for drinking and cooking water, especially in an older home. We are not
going to sell you an iron filter in Cherry Hill — that is a well-water product. We test
first, on a free in-home analysis, and recommend from the results.

- Whole-house treatment: water softeners and conditioners, iron and manganese
filters, sulfur (H2S) removal, acid neutralizers for low pH, sediment filtration,

Frequently asked questions
Is Cherry Hill water hard?
It carries enough mineral content that scale and spotting are common complaints, which is typical of a groundwater-sourced Coastal Plain supply. The exact hardness depends on which wells serve your section of the township, so we measure it at your tap during the free in-home water analysis.
Why does my tap water smell like a swimming pool?
That is the disinfectant residual utilities are required to maintain to the tap. Activated carbon removes free chlorine easily. If your supply uses chloramine, it needs more carbon contact time and the right media — which is why sizing matters more than the brand on the tank.
Should I test for lead in an older Cherry Hill home?
Yes, if your home predates 1986. Lead comes from lead service lines, lead solder, and older brass fixtures inside the home rather than from the source water, so testing at your own kitchen tap is the only way to know. Certified point-of-use filtration handles drinking and cooking water in the meantime.
Do I need reverse osmosis if I already have a whole-house filter?
They do different jobs. Whole-house carbon protects every fixture from chlorine taste, odor, and by-products. Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink goes much further on dissolved contaminants — lead, nitrate, sodium, PFAS — for the water you actually drink and cook with. Many Cherry Hill homes run both.
