Tired of Spots, Scale & Soap That Won’t Lather?
Hard Water Problems? Here’s How A Clear Alternative Solves Them in New Jersey
Hard water leaves behind mineral buildup, damages appliances, and dries out your skin. At A Clear Alternative, we help New Jersey homeowners enjoy softer, cleaner water with solutions that work.
What Is Hard Water?
Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. While not harmful to drink, it can wreak havoc on your plumbing, skin, and home systems over time.
Hard water is caused by a high concentration of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, in the water which builds up from groundwater passing through limestone formations.
Hard water can leave mineral deposits on surfaces creating buildup on glasses & dishes, making it difficult to lather soaps and shampoos, giving you itchy skin & dry hair, stiffening your towels, and damaging appliances due to scale buildup.
⚠️ Why is Hard Water a Problem
Scale buildup in pipes and appliances
Water spots on dishes and glassware
Dry, itchy skin and dull hair
Shortened appliance life and higher energy bills
Soap that doesn’t lather or rinse properly
🔍 Common Signs of Hard Water
White crust around faucets or shower heads
Film on shower walls or tubs
Clothing that feels stiff after washing
Clogged or inefficient water heaters

We’re here to help you make the right choice for your home.
Whether you're curious about how our systems work, what’s in your water, or what happens after installation—we’ve got answers to the most common questions our customers ask.
How do I know if I need a water treatment system?
If you notice odd tastes, odors, stains, or cloudy water—or just want peace of mind—it's worth testing your water. We offer free water testing to identify the best solution.
What types of contaminants can your systems remove?
Our systems are designed to reduce or eliminate chlorine, hardness, iron, bacteria, PFAS, nitrates, and more.
Do I need a whole-home system or just drinking water filtration?
That depends on your needs. We offer both whole-home solutions and point-of-use options like reverse osmosis.
Is installation included, and how long does it take?
Yes! Professional installation is included. Most systems can be installed in just a few hours.
What maintenance is required?
We design our systems to be low-maintenance, and we offer service plans so you don’t have to worry about upkeep.
What’s the difference between softening and filtration?
Softening removes minerals that cause hardness and scale (like calcium and magnesium), while filtration targets contaminants like chlorine, sediment, iron, and VOCs. Many homes use a combination of both. See our residential solutions.
Is my water safe to drink?
Municipal water is treated, but often still contains chlorine, byproducts, or trace contaminants like PFAS. Well water is unregulated and varies by region. Best way to be 100% sure you're drinking safe, clean water is to get a water test done and have proper filtration system in place.

Yes — flexible financing options are available. Ask during your consultation or contact us to learn more.
