Commercial Water
Treatment
How do I know which water treatment system is right for my business?
Our water specialists will assess your business’s water needs and recommend the best system based on usage, water quality, and industry requirements.
What are the benefits of a non-electric water softener?
Kinetico’s non-electric systems operate based on water demand, reducing energy use and salt waste, making them more cost-efficient and reliable than traditional systems.
How often does a commercial water softener need maintenance?
Kinetico systems require minimal maintenance compared to traditional softeners. However, we offer routine service plans to ensure peak performance year-round.
Can a water treatment system lower my business’s operating costs?
Absolutely. Soft, filtered water reduces scale buildup, extends equipment lifespan, and improves efficiency, leading to lower maintenance and energy costs.
Water Quality and
Health
How do I know if I have a hidden plumbing leak?
If you notice rising water bills, damp spots, or hear running water when no taps are open, call us for a leak inspection.
Is well water safer to drink?
Not always—bacteria, iron, and sediment can be present. A free water test can determine what treatment is needed.
How do I know if I need a water softener?
If you notice soap scum, dry skin, hard water stains, or appliance buildup, a water softener will improve water quality and protect your home.
Do I need a water filtration system if I have city water?
Yes! Even treated city water may contain chlorine, lead, PFAS, and other contaminants that can affect taste, odor, and health.
Kinetico Systems
and Technology
What’s the difference between a tankless and a conventional water heater?
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, providing unlimited hot water and better energy efficiency. Conventional water heaters store hot water in a tank, ensuring immediate access but using more energy.
What makes Kinetico systems different from other water treatment solutions?
Kinetico systems are non-electric, energy-efficient, and provide continuous soft water with no interruptions, all while requiring minimal maintenance. Plus, they’re backed by industry-leading warranties.
How long does a Kinetico system last?
Kinetico systems are designed to last for 20+ years with proper maintenance, offering long-term value for your home or business.
How does a Kinetico system operate without electricity?
Kinetico’s non-electric systems harness the natural movement of water to power the filtration process, which means fewer breakdowns, lower energy costs, and higher reliability.
Water Heater
Questions
How long does a water heater last?
Conventional water heaters last 8-12 years, while tankless water heaters can last 20+ years with proper maintenance.
When should I replace my water heater?
If your unit is over 10 years old, needs frequent repairs, or isn’t providing enough hot water, it may be time for a replacement.
What Our Customers Say
We were extremely pleased with the service provided by Dan R from CGC Home Services. He arrived on time and was very thorough in checking out our system, identifying the problem and fixing it. It was a pleasure having him here, and he is the guy we would want to come if we ever need service again.
Services performed by CGC were as promised and performed professionally by Matt, the service representative. We was quick and carefully explained everything regarding the water treatment system he installed and answered any questions we had. I have very comfortable dealing with CGC and I am confident that all the techs we have had over the years represent the same performance level as Matt.Thank you CGC
Excellent experience with CGC! Abraham was amazing to work withvery knowledgeable, professional, and easy to talk to.

Highly recommend asking for Abraham if you work with CGC!
Great service
Shane came this afternoon to service our water system. He did a great job. Told me some things I wasn't aware of about when to change the water filters. He was very nice and polite. I would recommend CGC Homes Services if anyone had a water system issues or plumbing problems.
Very friendly and professional
Courteous and prompt!
As a new resident of Ponte Vedra Beach, I was unfamiliar with the water quality in St Johns County. We were noticing an odor from our faucets and buildup on our fixtures. I began asking my neighbors about water systems and time and again they mentioned CGC Home Services. I called for an in home evaluation and quote. Abraham Rukab arrived promptly and provided an informative and honest assessment of our current system and addressed our concerns. He was very knowledgable and patient with all of our questions. We decided to get a new softener with whole house filter as well as a reverse osmosis drinking faucet. Abraham and CGC went above and beyond our expectations...fitting us in for a new system the very next day! The installation went just as smoothly! Our tech explained our new system, how to change the filters, when to add salt and where to look if we have questions. It's been 2 weeks and we couldn't be happier with our new system! No smelly water, clean fresh drinking water and beautiful soft water! I highly recommend Abraham and CGC for all your water needs!

Great customer service!
Helpful, informative, friendly and fast service!
Prompt service. Jordon explained everything while he was troubleshooting and making repairs. Very nice and friendly technician. The repair was under warranty.
Thanks to Dan at CGC for confirming that our water softener and air oxidizer are working as intended! Best of all, you didn't try to sell me something that we didn't need This has helped me narrow down the rotten egg smell to a degraded anode rod in the water heater Thanks again, Scott

Had a discussion on water filter systems. Very professional and knowledgeable!! Didn't try to over sell and provided options.

He was professional, patient, and friendly throughout the whole process. I really appreciated his attention to detail and commitment to making sure everything was done right.
