Premium Water Filtration Systems for Your Mount Pleasant, SC Home
Every time you turn on the tap in your Mount Pleasant home, you expect clean, safe, and great-tasting water. While our municipal water supply meets federal safety standards, meeting the standard doesn't always mean meeting your personal standard for taste, purity, and household protection. Chlorine used for disinfection can leave an unpleasant taste and odor, and mineral content can lead to frustrating hard water spots and scale buildup in your appliances.
We specialize in providing Mount Pleasant homeowners with customized water filtration solutions that address these specific concerns. From comprehensive whole-house systems to targeted point-of-use filters, we install the technology you need to enjoy crystal-clear, delicious water from every faucet in your home.
Is Your Tap Water in Mount Pleasant as Good as It Could Be?
Mount Pleasant Waterworks provides our community with water that is compliant with the Safe Drinking Water Act. This is a crucial first step, but it's not the end of the story for water quality. The water, primarily sourced from groundwater, undergoes a disinfection process, typically with chlorine, to ensure it's safe on its journey to your home.
However, this process can introduce issues that affect your daily life:
- Chlorine Taste and Odor: The most common complaint is the swimming pool-like smell or taste of chlorinated water, which can affect the flavor of your coffee, tea, and cooked meals.
- Hard Water Minerals: While not a health risk, dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium can cause hard water. This leads to soap scum on shower doors, spots on dishes, dry skin and hair, and damaging scale buildup inside your water heater, dishwasher, and pipes, reducing their efficiency and lifespan.
- Sediment and Particulates: Even with municipal treatment, fine sediment can sometimes enter your home's plumbing, leading to cloudy water or affecting the performance of your fixtures.
A professionally installed water filtration system is the definitive solution to elevate your water from "compliant" to "pristine."
Whole-House vs. Point-of-Use: Finding Your Ideal Filtration Solution
Choosing the right system depends on your specific goals. We help you navigate the options to find the perfect fit for your household's needs and budget.
Comprehensive Protection with Whole-House Filtration
A whole-house water filtration system is installed at your home's main water line, treating every drop of water that enters your plumbing. This is the ultimate solution for homeowners who want comprehensive, hassle-free protection and improved water quality from every tap.
Benefits of a Whole-House System:
- Pure Water Everywhere: Enjoy filtered water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry.
- Appliance Protection: By removing chlorine and sediment, you protect your water heater, dishwasher, washing machine, and coffee maker from corrosion and buildup, extending their service life.
- Softer Skin and Hair: Bathing and showering in chlorine-free water can leave your skin and hair feeling softer and less irritated.
- Brighter, Softer Laundry: Clothes washed in filtered water often feel softer and retain their color better without the harsh effects of chlorine.
Targeted Purity with Point-of-Use Systems
If your primary concern is the quality of your drinking and cooking water, a point-of-use system is an excellent and effective solution. These systems are typically installed under the kitchen sink and connect to a dedicated faucet.
The gold standard in this category is the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. An RO system uses a multi-stage filtration process to remove up to 99% of dissolved solids and contaminants, including:
- Lead and heavy metals
- PFAS and other emerging contaminants
- Chlorine and chloramines
- Nitrates, sulfates, and arsenic
- Viruses and bacteria
An RO system delivers bottled-water quality right from your tap, ensuring the water you consume is as pure as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Filtration
What factors determine the cost of a whole-house system?
The primary factors include the type and capacity of the system, the complexity of your home's plumbing, and the specific contaminants being targeted. We provide a clear, detailed quote after your initial water analysis.
How often do filters need to be changed?
This varies by system type. Sediment and carbon filters in whole-house systems typically last 6-12 months, while RO membranes can last 2-5 years. We will provide you with a clear maintenance schedule for your specific system.
Can a water filter remove the chlorine taste from my water?
Absolutely. Carbon filtration, a key component in both whole-house and point-of-use systems, is extremely effective at adsorbing chlorine, completely eliminating the associated taste and odor.
What is the difference between water filtration and water softening?
Water filtration removes contaminants and impurities from water. Water softening is a specific process that removes hard minerals (calcium and magnesium) through ion exchange. Many homeowners in Mount Pleasant benefit from both to achieve truly exceptional water quality.
How long does a typical installation take?
Most point-of-use systems can be installed in a couple of hours. A whole-house system installation typically takes half a day, depending on the accessibility of your main water line.
