Two Types of Water
Whether you’re on city water or pulling from a well, what comes out of your tap isn’t the same as what your neighbor drinks. The right system depends on what contaminants reside in your water and what your goals are with a water filtration system.
City Water
Treated. Not always clean.
Municipal water is treated according to EPA guidelines, but the chemicals used to treat city water can be harmful to consume.
- Chlorine taste and smell
- Disinfection byproducts
- Hard water scale on fixtures and appliances
- Lingering pipe-borne residue
Well Water
Your Well = Your Responsibility
No one is testing well water but you. What’s in the ground around your home is what’s in your water.
- Sulfur or rotten-egg smell
- Iron staining on sinks and laundry
- Hardness that wrecks appliances
- Pesticide and runoff exposure
Our Simple Process.
Here’s exactly what happens when Filter Tech comes to your home, from the first knock on the door to the final recommendation. No high-pressure sales call. No random quotes. Just three honest steps.
01
Visit
Filter Tech comes to your home to assess your water and discuss the filtration system that fits your household. Free of charge.
02
Test
We collect water samples and send them to the lab. They’re tested for hardness, chlorine, iron, pH, total dissolved solids, and specific contaminants such as arsenic, radon, and pesticides. Full results back within 48 to 72 hours.
03
Final Recommendations
To be clear: everyone benefits from a water filtration system. Our job is to provide as much information as possible and steer you in the right direction.
Here’s a list of the filtration systems we provide.
There’s no one-size-fits-all in water. It’s all chemistry-related, we start with your pH balance and go from there.
Whole-House Filtration
Cleaner water at every faucet, shower, and appliance, at the point water enters your home.

That’s not marketing. That’s the way it’s been for two decades.
“Jay came out, sampled our well, and showed us exactly what was going on. No pressure to buy anything. We ended up with a whole-house system and the water is night and day.”
Linda M.
LaGrange, GA · Whole-House + RO
“We’d been on city water for years and never thought about it. Jay walked us through the results and recommended a small RO at the kitchen. Pays for itself in bottled water alone.”
Robert & Susan T.
Greenville, SC · Reverse Osmosis
“Our iron staining ruined two sets of towels before we called Filter Tech. He fixed it the first time. The service plan has been worth every penny.”

Here’s what people ask us most.
A whole-house system filters every faucet, shower, and appliance, it protects your pipes, your skin, and your machines. A drinking water system polishes one tap, usually the kitchen sink, for what you actually drink and cook with. Most homes do best with both. We’ll tell you what yours needs.
Most water problems are invisible. Chlorine, dissolved iron, hardness, and bacterial byproducts don’t change how water looks. The only way to know what’s in your water is to measure it. We do it for free, we come to your home, collect samples, and send them to the lab.
Filters trap things. Eventually they fill up. Without service, a loaded filter can start letting contaminants pass through or even feed them back into your water. Annual service keeps the system working the way it did the day it was installed, and we catch small problems before they become big ones.
Different problems need different solutions. A whole-house filter handles chlorine and sediment across the house, but it can’t strip the dissolved solids that affect taste, that’s a reverse-osmosis job. Stacking systems lets each one do what it’s best at, and it’s usually more cost-effective than asking one unit to do everything.
Cities treat water to make it safe, they use chlorine and other disinfectants to do that. Those chemicals do their job, but they don’t belong in your glass. City treatment also can’t do anything about what happens to the water between the plant and your house: old pipes, sediment, and pressure changes all leave marks.
Usually 20 to 30 minutes. We listen to your concerns, collect water samples, and walk through where a system would sit if you need one. The precise lab readings come back afterward, and we follow up with the results and our recommendation.
