We repair and service most brands — not just systems we installed
Mr. Water LLC is a one-man operation — no sales team, no dispatcher. Send photos and describe the problem through the contact form, and Scott will usually be able to diagnose it before he ever comes out.
Whether you call it water filtration repair, softener repair, or just "my water system stopped working" — Scott works on the wide variety of water treatment equipment sold and installed across Central Maryland, the West Virginia Panhandle, Northern Virginia, and Southern Pennsylvania — as a one-man operation, with no sales team or subcontractors. Owner Scott R. Handy has over 38 years of experience and holds two U.S. patents in the water treatment industry.

If you notice any of these, don't wait — problems that go ignored almost always cost more to fix later.
All water treatment systems require regular maintenance, especially in areas with high iron or sediment like much of Maryland and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. A neglected iron filter or acid neutralizer can allow bacteria to build up, causing terrible odors and dramatically reduced water pressure. Sediment in well water acts like gritty sandpaper on moving pistons, seals, and o-rings inside control valves — and it will clog screens, venturis, and even destroy washing machine inlet screens and kitchen faucet cartridges over time.
Chlorinated municipal water can destroy the softening resin inside a water softener in less than 5 years without a carbon pre-filter installed first. Many homeowners on city water don't find this out until their system stops working entirely.
We keep parts in stock for most home and light commercial control valves, including Autotrol, Fleck, and Clack. In many cases we can retrofit your existing system with new or rebuilt components — saving you the cost of a full replacement.
As a well pump system ages, pressure switches and gauges wear out and fall out of adjustment. One of the most common issues we see is a failed rubber bladder inside a well pressure tank — small holes allow pressurized air to escape, causing the well pump to short-cycle. This leads to pressure fluctuations and weak water flow, premature wear on your well pump motor, higher electric bills, and clogged water softeners, filters, and acid neutralizers downstream. Because these problems develop gradually over several years, many busy homeowners don't notice until the damage is already done.
Send photos and describe the problem through the contact form — no visit needed just to take a look.
Scott reviews it and calls you back directly — often with a diagnosis and an estimate before he's set foot on your property.

Repair or rebuild — most systems fixed on the spot with parts carried in the truck.
30-day warranty on all repairs unless otherwise noted on your receipt.
Yes — we service and repair virtually all brands regardless of where the system was purchased or installed.
If your system is under manufacturer or dealer warranty, you may want to contact your dealer first so the warranty isn't voided. Give us a call and we'll help you figure out the best approach.
In most cases, yes. With the exception of a failed bladder in a well pressure tank (which requires full tank replacement), most water treatment systems can be repaired or rebuilt with new components.
Most repairs are completed in one visit, typically 1 to 2 hours depending on the system and the issue.
All logos and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. All service and repairs come with a 30-day warranty unless noted on the receipt. If your system is still under warranty you may want to call your dealer for service, as some parts will not be available to us.
