Water Quality FAQ
Common questions about water testing, filtration, and plumbing solutions tailored to your home in North Carolina.
What is hard water?
Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium minerals. These minerals can lead to scale buildup, spots on fixtures, and reduced efficiency in water heaters.
How does a water softener work?
Water softeners use a salt-based regeneration process to exchange calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions, effectively reducing hardness and preventing scale.
What is reverse osmosis?
Reverse osmosis systems use a semi-permeable membrane to remove dissolved salts, heavy metals, and organic contaminants, providing high-quality drinking water.
