Cleaner water for the Triangle
Family-owned and locally based in Raleigh. We install Honest Water Co equipment with a lifetime workmanship warranty on every job. We do one thing very well.
What We Do
We do one thing — water for Triangle families
Raleigh Water Pros installs whole-home filtration and reverse-osmosis drinking-water systems. That's it. We don't do plumbing repairs. We don't sell softener salt subscriptions. We don't run a kitchen-and-bath remodel side gig. We do one product category very well: cleaner water, every tap, installed in a single day by a licensed plumber.
Parker Smith is on every install personally, with an NC-licensed plumber on the job. No franchise overhead. No commissioned salespeople. No callback dance to get a quote — you ask, we tell you the price. Founder pricing through July 31, 2026 is $2,699 installed for the Complete Home System bundle. After that, retail is $5,998. Same equipment, same install, same warranty.
Meet the Owners
Parker + Emily Smith — and why we picked these systems
We started Raleigh Water Pros because we couldn't find a reasonably priced Triangle installer we'd trust in our own house. So we built one.
Parker handles the business and install coordination — background in client services and small-business ownership. He answers your call, writes the quote, and is on every install to make sure the NC-licensed plumber on the crew gets the job done right. No commissioned salesperson sitting between you and the person doing the work.
Emily handles the equipment side. She studied environmental engineering with a focus on water treatment — so when we say we evaluated every major filtration system on the market before deciding on the right equipment for your exact situation, that isn't marketing copy. She built the spec comparison. Our products won on a combination of NSF certifications, real-world contaminant performance, and per-component value vs. Culligan, Kinetico, Aquasana, and the rest. The decisions that get hidden in the wall — resin grade, carbon source, control valve specs — are the ones we pay the most attention to.
How We Run
The four things you should ask any installer
These are the four credentials worth verifying before you sign a $3,000-$8,000 water-filtration install contract. Ours, in plain terms.
NC Licensed Plumber
Every install pulled, permitted, and tied to the main by a state-licensed plumber.
Lifetime Workmanship
Our install warranty stands as long as you own the home. Leaks, connections, install quality.
NSF-Certified Equipment
Every contact component — carbon, resin, control valve — carries NSF/ANSI 372 or 53.
Local, Not Franchise
Family-owned LLC. No commissioned salespeople, no callback dance, no upsell pressure.
Why We Exist
Triangle water is mostly drinkable. But it isn't always clean.
City of Raleigh treats with chloramine you can taste above 2 ppm. OWASA (Chapel Hill) has documented 9 PFAS compounds in finished drinking water after treatment. Cary's source from Jordan Lake carries 1,4-dioxane from upstream wastewater. Durham's older homes (Trinity Park, Old North Durham) have pre-1986 lead solder leaching into tap water regardless of what arrives at the meter.
These aren't theoretical concerns. They're in every Consumer Confidence Report your utility publishes annually. Most homeowners don't read them. The CCRs are dense, the compounds are unfamiliar, and the "what does this mean for me" translation isn't there.
We built RWP as the alternative to the franchised in-home pitch. Transparent pricing online, real component specs published, licensed installation by a local plumber, and a free water report — pulled from your utility's CCR — before you decide anything.
