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

Why does Fuquay-Varina water vary by neighborhood?

Accepted Answer

Fuquay-Varina blends supply from Raleigh Water (Falls Lake, chloramine, ~1.5 GPG) and Harnett County (Cape Fear River, chloramine, ~2.7 GPG). Which mix your address gets depends on which pressure zone you're in — older central Fuquay leans Raleigh-side, while southern and western additions lean Harnett. Hardness can range from 1.5 to 2.7 GPG between two houses on the same street section.

Question 8

How common are private wells around Fuquay-Varina?

Accepted Answer

Common — properties outside the central town boundary (Bridgewater, Stewart's Creek area, east toward Willow Springs, south toward Angier) frequently use private wells. Wells here typically show 8-15 GPG hardness with iron staining and occasional sulfur smell. Municipal-style equipment won't size correctly for these — different system.

Question 9

Are Fuquay-Varina's newer subdivisions free of lead pipe risk?

Accepted Answer

Mostly yes — post-1986 communities like Stewart's Creek, Brookstone, Hidden Oaks, and South Lakes carry minimal interior lead-solder risk. Pre-1986 housing concentrates in central downtown Fuquay-Varina around the historic Main St area; we test before quoting any pre-1986 home.
