Short Hills is served by New Jersey American Water’s Short Hills division, a blend of Canoe Brook reservoir water, wells and purchased supply. AquaThin North Jersey installs softeners, whole-house filtration and reverse osmosis systems for Millburn Township homes.
Designed around your plumbing and daily routine.
New Jersey American Water’s Short Hills system draws on 25 wells, four surface intakes on Canoe Brook and the Passaic River, and water purchased from more than a dozen other utilities. Blending keeps supply reliable, but it also means chlorine level, taste and hardness at your tap can change from month to month as the mix shifts.
The state’s source water assessment rates the system’s surface intakes as highly susceptible to pathogens, which is why disinfection is heavy and chlorine taste is a common complaint. Hardness from the well and river portions of the blend leaves scale on fixtures and shortens the life of water heaters and dishwashers.
A whole-house carbon filter removes chlorine taste and odor from every tap and shower, a softener stops scale, and an Aquathin reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink removes lead, PFAS, chlorine byproducts and dissolved solids for drinking and cooking. A free in-home test shows which of these your home actually needs.
Designed around your plumbing and daily routine.
Multiple bathrooms, finished lower levels and irrigation are the norm here. Our licensed plumber sizes equipment for peak flow so pressure never drops, plans bypass loops, drains and electrical in advance, and places equipment where it can be serviced without disturbing finished space.
We service everything we install: filters, membranes, softener salt and annual tune-ups, scheduled from our Wyckoff shop. The plumber who installed your system is the one who maintains it.
Call (201) 208-7807. We test hardness, chlorine, TDS and pH at your tap and give you a straightforward recommendation with no obligation.
