Water Softening, Filtration & Reverse Osmosis in Chapel Hill, NC

Chapel Hill and Carrboro are served by OWASA, with water drawn from University Lake, Cane Creek Reservoir, and Quarry Reservoir. It's a high-quality, well-managed supply, but like most municipal systems in the region, it is treated with chloramines — and many homeowners still prefer better-tasting, filtered water for drinking, cooking, and showers.

What's In Chapel Hill's Water

The local water picture.

OWASA's water is consistently soft, so hard-water scale is rarely the main issue in Chapel Hill. The primary concerns are chloramine taste and odor, and a desire for higher-purity water at the kitchen sink. The water's quality is good; the goal is usually making it feel and taste better day-to-day.

What We Install In Chapel Hill

Three systems. One smarter home.

Water Softening

Chapel Hill's municipal water doesn't usually require a traditional salt-based softener. Our single-tank system is a good fit — it conditions the water and reduces chloramine taste and odor in one compact unit, with no salt bags or brine tank to manage.

Whole-Home Filtration

Whole-house carbon filtration addresses chloramine taste and odor at every tap, shower, and faucet in the house — turning the already-good OWASA supply into noticeably cleaner water throughout the home.
