Whole-home systems sized to your water, plus under-sink reverse osmosis for drinking. Triangle utility water shows 13 contaminants above science-based health guidelines, including "forever chemicals." We'll tell you what's worth addressing — and what isn't.
Nine quick questions for a useful preliminary recommendation.
No spam, no pressure. Your info is never sold.
City homes and well homes need different things. We treat both — and we'll tell you what you don't need.
Catalytic carbon at your main line removes chlorine, disinfection byproducts, and PFAS-class chemicals from every tap and shower in the house.
Under-sink, multi-stage purification brings your kitchen tap to bottled quality.
High-efficiency softening where hardness is real. Raleigh city water is medium hardness, which can contribute to scale, cloudy glassware, and soap scum; we confirm the service address and water conditions before recommending equipment.
Air-injection oxidation ends orange staining and rotten-egg smell at the source. Acid neutralizing protects pipes from low-pH water.
Class A ultraviolet purification neutralizes bacteria and viruses — the certification tier actually rated for well disinfection.
Every well is different. We test iron, hardness, pH, sulfur, and TDS at your kitchen sink before quoting a single dollar.
These levels are legal under federal limits. Independent health guidelines are far stricter. Raleigh Water and the Town of Cary — the two utilities covering most of the Triangle — both show it.

Guideline multiples shown are EWG health guidelines, not federal legal limits — HAA9/TTHM multiples reflect Cary's levels (the higher of the two). Raleigh's PFOA/PFOS levels aren't yet independently verified in our data.
Tell us your water source, location, symptoms, current equipment, home demand, and testing history. You receive a preliminary next-step recommendation.
We review city-water data or test private well water before specifying equipment and providing a clear written quote.
Installed by an NC-licensed plumbing contractor, usually in one visit. Lifetime warranty terms in your hand before you pay.
Triangle Waterworks is family-owned and run right here in the Triangle. When you call, you talk to an owner who knows your water — not a national call center.

Most companies ask you to trust a logo. We name the actual media, tanks, and valves that go into your system — then publish the NSF listings for them so you can read the source yourself, before you buy.
The carbon used for chlorine, taste, and odor reduction. NSF company listing published.

View certificate →And here's the part most companies leave out: a company or component listing is not the same thing as a model-level performance certification. These listings show the components are NSF-listed — they are not a claim that a particular system is certified to reduce a specific contaminant. We'd rather explain that difference than let a badge imply something it doesn't. See all component listings and details →
Yes — and that's the point. Federal legal limits were mostly set decades ago and haven't kept pace with the science on PFAS and disinfection byproducts. "Legal" and "what independent health scientists recommend" are two different numbers, sometimes hundreds of times apart.
A whole-home system sized to your home, professional installation by a licensed plumber, and a lifetime warranty. Depending on what your water needs, that can include softening, whole-home filtration and under-sink reverse osmosis — your specialist confirms exactly what fits on your call. Well homes get a water analysis first, since treatment depends on your actual water chemistry.
A water softener can help extend the life of water-using appliances by reducing mineral scale, while also helping reduce cloudy glassware, fixture staining, soap scum, and spotting. Raleigh city water is medium hardness, and many private wells benefit from softening as well. We confirm the service address and test well water first so the recommendation is based on your actual conditions.
NC-licensed plumbing contractors. In North Carolina, whole-home water treatment is licensed plumbing work — we only use licensed pros, and you can verify any license at the state board's public lookup.
You get the actual terms in writing with your quote — coverage, exclusions, and transferability — before you pay anything. If a company won't put its "lifetime warranty" on paper, ask why.
Most city-water installs happen within the same week, in a single visit of about 2–4 hours. Well systems install after your free water analysis, typically within a week of the test.
