PuraSoft Service area covers all of Essex County
Livingston, NJ, sources its water from a combination of 14 local production wells, surface water, and purchased water. Primary sources include groundwater from the NOTORIOUS Buried Valley Aquifer System, Brunswick Shale, and Gneiss Rock formations, supplemented by surface water from the Canoe Brook Reservoirs, Passaic River, Raritan River, and Wanaque Reservoir. Buried Valley Aquifer systems (glacial-drift aquifers) generally produce hard to very hard water, typically ranging from 137 to over 308 mg/L as calcium carbonate. Recent testing (2022 data) detected trace amounts of Arsenic, Barium, and Chromium, though all remained well within safe compliance limits. Livingston, NJ water quality is monitored for PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), with data indicating detections of PFOA and PFOS at or above regulatory limits.
If your town’s source of water is one of the Brunswick Aquifers, and your softener is more than 2 years old, most likely, it no longer produces soft water.
