Water filtration in Wake Forest, 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.

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.

No. City water: we pull your city's water report and price it on the phone. Community well: send us your yearly water report and we'll price it on the phone. Private well: send us any water test from the last couple of years, or we'll set up a water test for you.

It comes down to how much water you use and what is in it. Our Single Tank puts softening resin and catalytic carbon together in one mixed bed, which suits city homes with up to 3 bathrooms or 5 people, and the Single Tank XL is the same build in a larger tank for 4 or more bathrooms or 6 or more people. A dual tank gives each media its own tank: a softener tank plus a catalytic carbon tank on city water, or on a well, a softener tank plus an iron and sulfur tank. On city water the Dual Tank is the upgrade rather than a size: when the carbon wears out you replace only that tank, and both last longer. Size decides between the Single Tank and the XL. We size it off your test and your household. Not sure? We size it to how your family actually uses water.
