Start with a water test. City water usually only needs a carbon filter for taste. Well water may need sediment filters, iron removal or acid neutralizing, depending on the results.
Signs you need whole-house water filtration

What you can do before we arrive
Get a water test before buying any system. City customers can read their provider's annual water quality report; well owners should send a sample to a lab.
What we see in Upstate homes
Greenville Water draws from mountain reservoirs, and its water is naturally soft. That is why we rarely recommend water softeners for city homes here, and why our filtration work centers on taste for city customers and on iron, sediment and acidity for well owners.
Keeping it from coming back
Change cartridges on schedule and keep the bypass valves working. An overdue filter restricts flow and can harbor bacteria.
Questions about whole-house water filtration
Do I need a water softener in Greenville?
Rarely, if you are on city water. Softeners make sense mostly for wells with hard water.
How often do filters need changing?
It depends on the system and use; many cartridges need changing every few months.
Will a filter lower my water pressure?
Properly sized systems have little effect on pressure.
