Gilbert did an outstanding job installing the water softener. The installation was neat and clean. He showed me how the system works. I highly recommend this company for their excellent service.

"We bought the whole-house system and added alkaline. The removal of toxins made clear improvements to the taste of our water, our skin and hair. I am SO happy that we no longer need to buy water bottles!! Martin provided topnotch service. I strongly recommend NC Water Filtration and their products."

"We got a water softener installed when we moved in 2 years ago and they showed up when promised and did a great job installing it and explaining the machine to us. During a winter freeze we had a piece break and they quickly came out to replace it for free under the warranty. Great work and great customer service."
Purologix MaxPack Whole House Point of Entry 5-Stage Conditioner and Point of Use High Efficiency Reverse Osmosis Purification System.
Patented tank design allows us to create a 5-stage process inside a single, extra wide tank resulting in a very compact and complete treatment process.  There is no better City Water Treatment available for a typical homeowner.
No water system is handsome or a work of art, and most look like scuba gear or gas cylinders.  However, our WaterMax is different, and the Signature Series styling is as aesthetic as it gets in the Water Treatment Industry.  More importantly is what is inside that counts, and our 5-stage process is unmatched without installing multiple filters, and fiberglass tanks in series.  More connections, more upkeep, more salt, more water, more filters, more money.  Talk to us about our efficiency.

"Tim did a great job with the replacement of our water heater. Even though it was the day after Thanksgiving he moved some of his other appointments around to come to our home that afternoon. Tim and his assistant were careful to put on shoe covers in the house and to observe COVID 19 precautions. The job required more complicated plumbing since we have a desuperheater loop from our geothermal heat pump that connects to the water heater; the additional charge for this work was minimal. Tim was here until after 5:00 that evening, with the result that we had hot water over the weekend."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.
