Otter Home is a family-owned water and air company serving Coatesville and the rest of Chester County.

Water chemistry in Coatesville
Wells here tend to come back soft-to-moderate on hardness but low on pH — 5.8 to 6.5 is common — which is the recipe for pinhole leaks in copper and blue-green staining in tubs and sinks. An acid neutralizer, not a softener, is usually the first system these homes need.
