Water Softeners & Treatment Systems

Water Softeners & Treatment in Manassas, VA

Municipalities in Northern Virginia work hard to ensure the quality and safety of area water supplies, but discriminating homeowners want household water to meet more than minimum standards. Parrish Services sells and installs water softeners and treatment systems that remove contaminants and improve water quality. Soft water contains fewer corrosive minerals to discolor kitchen and bathroom fixtures, deposit scale on pipes and dull laundry. Water filters effectively remove trace chemicals that cause odors, foul tastes and health risks for your family.

Water Softeners Improve Water Quality


Water softeners remove dissolved minerals from well water and municipal tap water. Calcium and magnesium are the most common and problematic minerals found in No. VA domestic water. These dissolved minerals shorten the life of water-using appliances and create household problems including:

  • Staining on sinks, toilets & tubs
  • Clogged showerheads & faucets
  • Increased amounts of detergent needed for cleaning 
  • Spots and white rings on dishes & countertops
  • Dull, gray laundry
  • Scale on pipes

Traditional & No-Salt Water Softeners


Traditional water softeners use a chemical process to replace the calcium and magnesium in hard water with sodium ions. Newer technologies deliver soft water without sodium. Connect with Parrish Services to discuss the advantages of each type of water softener.

Parrish Services has the solution to cleaner, fresher and healthier water for your home—water filters and treatment systems. These advanced filtration methods remove contaminants, giving you better tasting water and peace of mind for your family’s safety. Treatment systems remove worrisome substances including:

Whole House & Point-of-Use Water Filters

Northern Virginia homeowners depend on the Parrish team of triple-certified plumbing, electrical and HVAC technicians to install and maintain all types of water treatment systems for water from wells or municipal providers.

Whole house treatment systems, installed where the water supply line enters the house, treat the large quantities of water which supply your bathrooms, kitchen and laundry areas. These systems supply filtered water to appliances, heating systems, toilets, washers and taps. They are designed to maintain adequate flow volume throughout your water system. Whole house treatment systems can be combined with a water softener to provide both softened and filtered water.

Point-of-use (POI) filter units are placed near faucets, often under a sink or at the refrigerator supply line. These smaller systems supply limited amounts of filtered water directly where needed for drinking, cooking and washing. POI systems usually consist of multiple treatment stages including activated carbon filtration and reverse osmosis.

I had a great experience with Parrish, and the head technician, Danny Shoop (the assistant was also very good). We had a number of plumbing issues that needed repair, and the work was completed to our satisfaction. I was impressed by Danny's professionalism, his work ethic, and the suggestions and recommendations he made. I will definitely use Parrish again.

Andre and the other technician did a great job installing the new furnace hot water heater and air conditioner. I appreciated the prep and care taken in my home as they carried out the old and brought in the new furnace and hot water heater. Andre took the time to answer what overall questions I had and kept me up to date on the installation progress.

Brandon did a routine inspection of our HVAC that we knew was reaching its replacement age. He was very professional and honest with his assessment and what needed to be repaired or replaced and why, complete with photos and diagnostics. He made sure I knew all my options and pricing (including cost savings) for the recommended parts and services. Very happy with Brandon’s service and Parrish in general.

Alton conducted a comprehensive inspection of our home's electrical system. He explained issues as he found them, and even made water heater and fire safety recommendations. I was pleased with his ability to communicate issues clearly and provide a quick turnaround for the quotes.

My wife, Janice, worked with Alton Wallace to convert our fireplace from gas to electric, and Alton was wonderful! We’d never tackled a project like this before so we had some questions along the way, but Alton was very patient and willing to walk us through step-by-step. He was personable and very knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend Alton to future clients!
