Why homeowners call SmittyTap
Charlotte's city water runs moderately hard, and well water across Union and Cabarrus counties brings its own iron and sulfur problems. We're a local crew that treats each home individually: test first, recommend second, install carefully, and stay available for service afterward.

What neighbors say
Placeholder reviews — send us your real ones and we'll swap them in.
"Our glasses stopped coming out of the dishwasher cloudy within a week. The install was tidy and they walked us through the whole system."
"They tested our well water, explained the iron problem in plain English, and never tried to upsell us. Water tastes completely different now."
"The under-sink drinking system was in and running in two hours. We've stopped buying bottled water entirely."

Common questions
Is the water test really free?+
Yes. We test your water in your home, walk you through the results, and leave you with a written report — whether or not you buy anything.
How hard is Charlotte's water?+
City water in the Charlotte area typically runs in the moderately hard range, enough to cause scale and soap-scum buildup over time. Well water varies widely, which is why we test first.
How long does installation take?+
Most softener and whole-home filtration installs are finished in a single visit, usually three to five hours. Under-sink drinking systems take about two hours.
Do you service systems you didn't install?+
We do. We handle media and filter changes, valve repairs, salt-tank cleanouts, and troubleshooting on most major brands.
What maintenance will I need?+
Softeners need salt topped up periodically; filters and RO membranes need replacing on a schedule we set with you. We offer reminder service visits.
