At Ultimate Plumbing, we offer services for water treatment systems in Cornelius, Mooresville, Lake Norman, Denver, Terrell, Sherrills Ford, Huntersville, Davidson, Charlotte, Concord, Kannapolis, Matthews, Statesville, and Troutman, North Carolina.
What our free water test covers
We perform secondary water testing on site. We check hardness, pH, iron, and chlorine only – the readings we need in order to recommend and correctly size a water softener, iron filter or pH neutralizer for your home.
We do not perform full panel water testing. Full panel, potability and certified laboratory analysis – bacteria, lead, nitrates, VOCs and the like – has to be carried out by a North Carolina state-certified laboratory. That is not a service we offer, and we are not able to collect samples for it.
Water Treatment FAQs
What does your free water test include?
We perform secondary water testing on site: we check hardness, pH, iron, and chlorine only. Those readings tell us which treatment system your home needs and what size it should be. The test is free and we do it at your property.
Do you offer full panel water testing?
No. We perform secondary water testing only - hardness, pH, iron, and chlorine. Full panel, potability and certified laboratory analysis, such as bacteria, lead, nitrates or VOCs, has to be carried out by a North Carolina state-certified laboratory. That is not a service we offer, and we are not able to collect samples for it.
How do I know if I need a water treatment system?
Signs include hard water stains, dry skin/hair, bad taste or odor, cloudy water, or staining on fixtures. Our free secondary water test (hardness, pH, iron, and chlorine only) confirms which of those issues you have.
What's the difference between a water softener and water filter?
Water softeners remove hard minerals (calcium, magnesium) that cause scale buildup. Water filters remove contaminants, chlorine, and sediment. Many homes benefit from both systems.
Do you service well water systems?
Yes! We specialize in well water treatment including iron filters, pH neutralizers, UV purification, and sediment filtration. Lake Norman area wells often have iron and hardness issues.
How long does a water softener last?
Quality water softeners last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. We recommend annual service to ensure optimal performance and salt efficiency.
Is soft water safe to drink?
Yes, softened water is safe to drink, though it contains slightly more sodium. For those on sodium-restricted diets, we can install a reverse osmosis system for drinking water.
