What is a home water filtration system and why do I need one?
A home water filtration system is a device (or set of devices) that cleans the water coming into your house. It removes impurities like dirt, chlorine, lead, or other contaminants from your tap water. This makes your water taste better and keeps your family healthy. North Carolina homes often use filtration because some areas have hard water (lots of minerals) or water with a chlorine smell. For example, well water in rural areas might have iron or sulfur odors, and city water can taste like chlorine. A good filtration system ensures you have fresh, pure water from every faucet. In short, you need one if you want peace of mind about the water you drink and use every day. Contact Us now to schedule service.
Is North Carolina tap water safe to drink?
Most tap water in North Carolina is generally safe to drink because public water systems must meet strict standards. City water suppliers follow the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act rules to keep water clean. They perform regular tests and provide annual water quality reports to customers. However, “safe” doesn’t always mean perfect tasting or absolutely free of all particles. Sometimes water can pick up contaminants on the way to your tap (for example, from old pipes). Also, about 1 in 10 North Carolina residents use private well water, which is not regulated by the EPA. If you have a private well, you should get it tested because it’s up to you to ensure well water is safe. We offer testing to help check for common issues like bacteria or PFAS chemicals. Even with generally safe tap water, many people use an extra filter system for an added layer of protection and better taste.

What types of home water filtration systems do you offer?
We offer several types of filtration systems to fit different needs. Every home is unique, so we provide options. Here are some of the solutions available
- Whole-house water filters: These systems filter all the water that enters your home. For example, a whole-house filter can remove chlorine, sediment, or even specific contaminants like lead across every tap and shower.
- Under-sink filters & Reverse Osmosis: These are installed under your kitchen sink (or another specific faucet). They give you very pure drinking and cooking water by removing tiny particles and impurities (reverse osmosis systems are great at this).
- Water softeners: These systems remove hard minerals (like calcium and magnesium) that cause hard water. Soft water is gentler on your skin, appliances, and pipes – no more chalky buildup or soap that won’t lather.
- UV purification: A special ultraviolet light system can kill bacteria or viruses in the water. This is especially helpful if you have a private well with microbial concerns.
In addition to the above, we can combine solutions to tackle multiple issues (for example, a softener + filter combo for hard, smelly water). Not sure which one you need? Don’t worry – we will test your water and explain the best options. You can also check our Services page for more details on each system.
How do I maintain my water filtration system?
Maintenance for your water filtration system is straightforward. We will give you clear instructions for your specific system, but here are some general guidelines. Most filters need periodic replacement to keep working well. For example, if you have a cartridge filter (like in a reverse osmosis unit or fridge filter), you might change it every 6 to 12 months. A whole-house carbon filter might last a year or more before the media needs changing. Generally, we recommend checking your filters every few months just to be sure. If you notice any change in your water (like taste or flow), it might be time to check the filter. Our team is happy to help with maintenance – we can remind you when it’s time for service or even handle the filter changes for you. Keeping up with maintenance ensures your water stays clean and your system lasts a long time. Tip: Mark your calendar or set a reminder for filter changes, so you never forget. And of course, if you ever have questions about upkeep, just contact us and we’ll assist you.
