Balance your home’s water pH, protect plumbing, and enjoy cleaner, better-tasting water with our whole-home alkaline water systems.
If your home’s water is acidic or hard, you’ve probably noticed blue-green stains in sinks, sour-tasting tap water, or even costly plumbing corrosion. Many Charleston and Lowcountry homeowners deal with acidic groundwater that eats away at pipes and shortens the lifespan of appliances. An alkaline water filtration system is the proven way to balance your water’s pH, add beneficial minerals, and protect your home. At Wadford Water Works, we specialize in alkaline water system installation in Charleston, SC. Our systems naturally raise your water’s pH, creating healthier, better-tasting alkaline water for your entire home.
The pH scale runs from 0 to 14. Below 7 is acidic, 7 is neutral, and above 7 is alkaline. In Charleston, acidic water is common due to sandy soil, older plumbing, and nearby septic systems. Acidic water can cause:
-Corrosion and pinhole leaks in copper pipes
-Blue-green staining in tubs, sinks, and toilets
-Bitter or metallic taste in drinking water
-Faster wear on water heaters, dishwashers, and laundry machines
Balancing your water’s pH with an alkaline water filter system improves taste, reduces damage to plumbing, and helps protect your family’s water supply.
Our systems use a natural mineral filter bed (calcite, often blended with magnesium oxide). As water flows through, it dissolves small amounts of calcium and magnesium. This process raises the pH to a healthy pH range, adds beneficial minerals, and creates balanced water for the whole house. Unlike bottled water or countertop filters, our whole-home alkaline water systems in Charleston provide consistent results for every tap in your home.
After installing a whole home alkaline water system homeowners notice several benefits including:
Cleaner, better-tasting water – no sour or metallic aftertaste
Improved hydration – smoother, mineral-rich water is easier to drink
Added calcium & magnesium – supports bone and muscle health
Protects pipes & appliances – prevents corrosion and extends lifespan
Softer hair & skin – many homeowners notice less dryness and irritation

Yes. Naturally mineralized alkaline water improves taste, protects plumbing, and supports hydration with added calcium and magnesium.
The EPA recommends between 6.5 and 8.5. Many Charleston wells test below 7, which can cause corrosion and taste problems.
Bottled water is temporary. A whole-home alkaline system treats all the water in your home, protecting your pipes, appliances, and family long-term.
Most systems require periodic refilling of the calcite mineral bed every 12–24 months, depending on water usage and acidity levels.
