Charleston Water Quality

Understanding Your Water inCharleston, South Carolina

Charleston Water System draws from the Edisto River and Bushy Park Reservoir. Charleston residents typically experience water hardness of 3-5 grains per gallon (moderately soft to slightly hard). Common water quality concerns in the area include chlorine/chloramine disinfection taste, occasional sediment after heavy rain, aging infrastructure in historic districts leading to pipe corrosion, periodic trihalomethane (THM) concerns.

Charleston's historic homes often have older plumbing that is particularly susceptible to damage from untreated water, and the coastal location means salt air can affect outdoor plumbing connections.

Whole House Water Refining Questions fromCharleston Homeowners

What is a whole-house water refining system and do I need one in Charleston?

A whole-house water refining system combines water softening and carbon filtration into a single, dual-tank unit. For Charleston homes dealing with chlorine/chloramine disinfection taste and occasional sediment after heavy rain, the Hydrotech HTO Up Flow Series addresses both hard water and taste/odor issues simultaneously. It's the most comprehensive solution available - treating every drop of water in your home.

How much does whole-house water refining cost in Charleston?

The cost of a Hydrotech HTO system in Charleston depends on your home's size and water quality. Solomon Home Water Solutions offers free in-home water testing to determine the right model (HTO100 through HTO300). The dual-tank design actually saves money compared to buying separate softener and filtration systems. We serve West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island, Daniel Island, and downtown Charleston and all of Greater Charleston.

What's the difference between water softening and whole-house refining?

A water softener only removes hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium). A whole-house refining system like the Hydrotech HTO also includes catalytic carbon filtration that removes 97% of chlorine, chloramines, and organic compounds. For Charleston homes with 3-5 grains per gallon (moderately soft to slightly hard) hardness plus chlorine-treated city water, the refining system provides complete treatment in one unit.

How long does whole-house refining system installation take in Charleston?

Installation of the Hydrotech HTO Up Flow Series in your Charleston home typically takes 2-4 hours. Our certified technician handles everything: connecting to your main water line, setting up both the carbon and softening tanks, programming the single control valve, and thoroughly testing the system. We serve all of Charleston including West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island, Daniel Island, and downtown Charleston.

Solomon Home Water Solutions proudly serves Charleston and all of Greater Charleston. We also serve nearby communities throughout the South Carolina coast.
