Question 1

How long does an install take?

Accepted Answer

Most whole-home + RO installs finish in 4-6 hours. The whole-home unit ties into your main water line; the RO mounts under your kitchen sink. We pull the permit, our NC-licensed plumber does the tie-in, and you get your system up the same day.

Question 2

How much does the Complete Home System bundle cost?

Accepted Answer

$2,699 installed during founder pricing through July 31, 2026. That includes the whole-home softener + carbon filtration AND the HW800 AlkaPro under-sink RO drinking water system. After July 31 the bundle reverts to retail (~$5,998 of equipment + install).

Question 3

What's the warranty on the equipment?

Accepted Answer

Two distinct warranties: the equipment itself is covered by Honest Water Co's manufacturer warranty (terms vary by component — see HW warranty doc). Our installation work — fittings, drain integration, code-compliant routing — is covered by RWP's lifetime workmanship warranty. Both apply at the same time but cover different things.

Question 4

Why is chloramine in Triangle tap water?

Accepted Answer

Most Triangle utilities (Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill via OWASA) use chloramine instead of chlorine because it persists longer in the distribution system. You can taste it; standard carbon filters don't fully remove it. Catalytic activated carbon, used in our whole-home unit, does.

Question 5

Is there PFAS in Triangle drinking water?

Accepted Answer

Trace levels of PFAS have been detected in several Triangle utilities, especially those that draw from Cape Fear basin sources (Cary, Apex via Jordan Lake; Pittsboro). Levels are below current EPA enforceable limits but above the new 2024 health-based MCLs. NSF P473 certified RO systems remove 99%+ of PFOA/PFOS.

Question 6

Is Triangle municipal water actually hard?

Accepted Answer

No — Triangle municipal water averages 1.3-2.7 GPG (slightly hard or below). Raleigh Water draws from Falls Lake (~1.5 GPG); Cary draws from Jordan Lake (~1.7 GPG). The bigger municipal-water concerns are chloramine disinfection, trihalomethanes, and trace PFAS in some sources.

Question 7

Where does Cameron tap water come from?

Accepted Answer

Cameron is a very small Moore County town — most households are on private wells rather than municipal supply, with a small Cameron Water Department serving the central village. The municipal customer base is tiny relative to nearby Sanford or Vass.

Question 8

What's distinctive about Cameron-area well water?

Accepted Answer

Cameron sits on Sandhills geology — sandy soils with rapid percolation and limestone-poor groundwater. Well water here typically shows acidic pH (often below 6.0), iron, and lower hardness than Triangle clay-soil wells to the north. Acid-neutralizing treatment is often the first stage these wells need.

Question 9

Are there agricultural runoff concerns in Cameron well water?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Moore County's longstanding row-crop and tobacco agriculture means some private wells around Cameron show elevated nitrate or atrazine. We strongly recommend a full well test panel (not just hardness + iron) before specifying equipment for any property here.
