Water filtration in Wake County, North Carolina

Yes, and it's a meaningful share of what we do. Wells in Wake, Harnett, Chatham and Johnston counties commonly come back with iron, hydrogen sulfide, sediment or low pH. Those need genuinely different equipment than a city water home — which is why we test first instead of quoting off a price list.

Legal and clean aren't the same standard. Municipal water in the Triangle meets every federal and state requirement, and the utilities do their job well. But the standards regulate a specific list of contaminants at specific levels — they don't cover taste, they don't cover chlorine byproducts, and they don't cover everything that's been found in Piedmont surface water over the last decade. Whether you need a system is a question about what's actually coming out of your tap and what bothers you. That's what the free test is for. If your water's fine, we'll tell you that.

Different jobs. A softener uses resin and salt to remove calcium and magnesium — the minerals that cause scale, spotting and that film on your skin. A filter uses carbon or specialty media to remove chlorine, taste, odor and other contaminants. Softening doesn’t clean your water; filtering doesn’t soften it. Most Triangle city homes need filtering more than softening. Well homes often need both, plus more.
