WATER SOFTENER IN HUNTERSVILLE, NC

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.

ADD A WATER SOFTENER TO EXTEND THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR PLUMBING SYSTEM IN YOUR HUNTERSVILLE HOME.

Did you know that hard water can cause problems in your plumbing system? Hard water causes scale to build up in your pipes. This restricts the flow of water in your pipes and can lead to clogging. If the problem is neglected, it can severely damage your piping system and require your entire system to be replaced.

This is a problem that not many people are aware of, and when they do learn about it, it’s often too late, as the problem has already escalated. Here at Ultimate Plumbing, we offer the solution to this problem to our customers in Huntersville, North Carolina: installing a water softener.

What does a water softener do? Water is described as “hard” when it contains large amounts of calcium, magnesium and other minerals. Hard water is tough on skin and nails. It also reacts negatively with soap. Hard water makes soap more difficult to lather and causes soap scum to form. Installing a water softener solves the problems caused by hard water as the water softener removes the minerals in the water.

Water softeners are a cost-effective, long-term solution to dealing with hard water. With a water softener installed, you will notice a wide range of benefits. Cleaning becomes easier as your cleaning liquid becomes more effective once the hard water has been treated. Chores such as washing dishes, cleaning your bathrooms and cleaning plumbing fixtures require less effort and time. You’ll also have softer skin and smoother, cleaner hair, as the treated water is kinder on our skin and hair.

A water softener is a great investment to make to extend the lifespan of your plumbing system. To learn more, get in touch with us today!

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.
