Scott R. Handy founded Mr. Water Professional Water Treatment of Maryland in 2005, drawing on nearly two decades of hands-on experience as a service plumber and water treatment technician. What started from the back of a 1992 Ford Ranger pickup truck — and a commitment to doing the job right — has grown into Central Maryland's most trusted name in residential and light commercial water treatment, water softening, and water purification services.
Scott's first major installation involved custom-built well water treatment systems for a new housing development in northern Montgomery County, Maryland. Word spread quickly. Homeowners and businesses across Washington County, Frederick County, and beyond recognized something rare: a water treatment specialist who prioritized honest assessments, quality components, and long-term solutions over quick sales.
As demand grew, so did the scope of services. At a time when few companies were willing to perform the labor-intensive work of re-bedding acid neutralizers, rebuilding iron filters, and servicing water softener control valves, Mr. Water LLC filled the gap — servicing and repairing existing equipment from major national brands including Culligan®, EcoWater®, RainSoft®, and Kinetico®, and systems using Fleck®, Clack®, and Autotrol® control valves.
Services expanded to include full installation and maintenance of reverse osmosis drinking water systems, UV disinfection systems, sediment pre-filters, well pressure tanks, and low water pressure correction — making Mr. Water LLC a true one-stop shop throughout Central and Western Maryland, the Eastern West Virginia Panhandle, Northern Virginia, and South Central Pennsylvania.
