How Do I Know Which Water Treatment or Filtration System I Need?

Professional water testing reveals exactly what’s in your supply and what treatment approaches will work best. We analyze hardness minerals, pH levels, iron content, bacteria presence, chlorine concentration and numerous other factors. Testing results guide our recommendations, ensuring you invest in systems that address your specific water quality issues.

What Maintenance Do Water Treatment and Filtration Systems Require?

Maintenance requirements vary by system type. Water softeners need periodic salt replenishment, occasional resin bed cleaning and filter changes. Reverse osmosis systems require filter cartridge replacement every six to 12 months, depending on water quality and usage volume. Whole-house filters need cartridge changes based on water consumption and contamination levels. UV systems require annual bulb replacement to maintain disinfection effectiveness. We provide maintenance schedules and can handle service visits to keep your systems operating efficiently.

Will a Water Treatment System Affect My Home’s Water Pressure?

Properly sized and installed water treatment systems maintain adequate pressure throughout your home. Our technicians calculate appropriate system capacity based on your household’s peak water demand, fixture count and plumbing configuration. Modern treatment equipment incorporates design features that minimize pressure loss. In some cases, addressing water quality problems actually improves pressure by removing mineral deposits that restrict flow in existing pipes.

Professional Water Treatment and Filtration Services

We offer comprehensive water treatment solutions to protect your plumbing and deliver healthier water, including:

Reverse osmosis systems: Our reverse osmosis systems help eliminate various contaminants, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), arsenic and lead.

Water softeners: Hard water creates scale buildup inside pipes and water heaters while leaving your skin dry. Our Kinetico^® water softener systems help reduce calcium and magnesium through ion exchange technology. These nonelectric systems regenerate only when needed, protecting appliances and providing continuous soft water.

UV disinfection systems: UV disinfection systems use ultraviolet light to neutralize harmful microorganisms in well water, providing safer water while maintaining natural mineral content.

Carbon filtration systems: Carbon filtration systems remove chlorine, fluoride and chloramines from municipal water, significantly improving taste, odor, and quality for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

Iron-specific removal systems: Iron removal systems filter dissolved iron before oxidation occurs, preventing rust stains on showers, tubs, sinks and clothing.

Whole-house filtration: Treatment at your main water line removes iron, sulfur, bacteria and sediment before water reaches any fixture, providing clean water from every tap.

What Our Customers Say

Google Excellent

Professional, knowledgeable, and efficient repair of softening system!

Kade was super professional. And helpful with my questions

No longer happy with the service. Expensive up front, warranty isn't worth anything so keep that in mind. Got a "Cooper" on the phone today. He was the worst, condescending, rude, short, everything. Costly option to improve your water. Buy the same or similar products and have a plumber of your choice install it will save you money on the front end. Anything "CGC" offers isn't real or what they represent it as.

Rene did a great job changing our whole house filter on our water softener. Fast and efficient!

Great company! Service was top notch!

Very accommodating with my busy schedule and our technician Nick was very professional. He installed our water softener but before doing so he noticed unit was a bit damaged, he got us a new one. Highly recommend.

I feel good about the anode rod. I have 7.00 mgl of Iron and it's been difficult. But Joe continues to help and go beyond.

Today Joe led the team who came to do a plumbing repair, installing some new parts. They were absolutely so nice and so thorough. I really appreciate the work and customer care provided by everyone I have encountered at CGC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reverse osmosis filters typically need replacement every six to 12 months, while whole-home filter media may last three to five years. We offer maintenance plans for worry-free upkeep.
