"Very Satisfied in giving them 5 stars"

After explaining my problem with a filtration system, I was giventhe time and curtesy of their owner. The cost to come out was very reasonable and was told that they would work with me within my budget.  He seemed to care very much and was very knowledgeable with his assessments. I am very satisfied in giving them 5 stars, all companies should give customer service this good, and it would make all experiences much easier.

FAQ: Summerville Water Questions

Is Summerville tap water safe to drink without a filter?

Yes, Summerville’s tap water is treated and meets all federal and state safety standards. The town’s water comes from the Edisto River and local groundwater wells, but it’s treated with chlorine to keep it safe. Many homeowners still notice a chlorine taste, odor, or cloudy appearance, especially after heavy rain. A whole-home carbon filter or reverse osmosis system improves both taste and odor while providing extra protection against contaminants.

How hard is the water in Summerville, SC?

Summerville’s water is considered moderately hard, usually between 100–140 ppm (parts per million). That means it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause scale on faucets, cloudy glassware, and dry hair or skin. A Hague water softener removes those minerals to prevent buildup, extend the life of your appliances, and leave water that feels smoother and cleaner.

Why does my Summerville water smell like chlorine or sulfur?

If your water smells like chlorine, it’s from disinfection used in the municipal treatment process. If it smells like sulfur (rotten eggs), it’s more common in private wells or older plumbing. In both cases, the solution is filtration—activated carbon filters remove chlorine odor, while aeration or oxidation systems neutralize sulfur smells. Wadford Water Works provides testing to identify the source and fix it quickly.

Do I need to test my water in Summerville if I’m on city water?

Even if you’re on city water, it’s smart to test your water once a year. Summerville’s distribution system includes both surface and groundwater sources, and mineral levels can shift over time. Testing checks for chlorine, hardness, pH, and metals like lead or copper that may leach from older pipes. A professional water test and analysis ensures you know exactly what’s in your home’s water.

What’s the best water treatment system for Summerville homes?

The right system depends on your water source and what you’re experiencing. Most city water homes benefit from whole-home filtration paired with reverse osmosis for drinking water. Homes on private wells often need iron or sulfur filters, sometimes combined with softening systems. The best approach starts with a professional water test, so we can recommend the exact system for your home’s needs.
