We have been serving South Carolina for over 40 years. Our team has installed thousands of systems and our customers count on us for high quality service and our knowledgeable staff. We remind you every year when your system is due for service. We cater to DIY or we can service for you. We are available 24/7 to answer questions or provide emergency services. Our units are available with a remote diagnostics option which helps cut down on unnecessary call outs. Our customers keep coming back to us year after year for service and upgrades. Let us help you find the perfect system to meet your needs.

"I contracted Southlantic April 22nd to install a sprinkler system in my yard. They told me because of their high volume it would be 6 weeks before they could do the work. I agreed. The day before the installation I received a email stating they were moving the installation out another 6 weeks. I called and talked to Lisa about the change. She told me she forgot to call me but unexpected issues occurred and had no choice. They moved the installation out to June 30. They didn’t show so I called and was told they couldn’t find me on the schedule even though they sent a email to confirm the the June 30th schedule. I was transferred to Lisa and she informed my that they couldn’t find help for the installations and had forgotten to call me about the issue. I canceled the work and hope to find a more reliable company. In my opinion Soutlantic is one of most unreliable company’s I have ever delt with. Lisa and their scheduling staff should be looking for another line of work. Angi I used your recommendation to hire them. In the future I will think twice about your recommendations. Art Dunnier"

Water treatment & purification system installations and replacements FAQs

Water softeners consist of three main components: a mineral tank, a brine tank, and a control valve. In some smaller units, the mineral tank and brine tank are combined into one cabinet.

Professionals install whole-home systems at the point of entry of the main water line. Smaller units are installed under sinks or near a washer—these units only soften the water for that fixture, not the entire home.

  • Mineral Tank: Hard water passes into the mineral tank through resin beads, and an ion exchange occurs. Magnesium and calcium ions are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions from the brine tank.

  • Brine Tank: The brine tank contains sodium or potassium to recharge the resin.

  • Control Valve: The control valve determines when to clean the resin beads.

Choosing between a salt-based or potassium-based water softener depends on your priorities. Salt-based systems effectively remove hard-water minerals, regenerate efficiently, and are cost-effective. However, they may not be ideal for individuals on low-sodium diets. Potassium-based systems neutralize minerals without removing them and regenerate more frequently. They are more expensive but offer a healthier and more environmentally friendly option. If sodium levels are a concern and cost isn't a major factor, a potassium system may be the better choice.

To calculate your water softener's capacity, determine your grains per gallon (GPG) number by:

  • Multiplying the number of people in your home by 90. The average number of gallons used per person for washing, drinking, and cooking ranges from 80 to 100 gallons per day.

  • Multiplying that result by the hardness of your water. The average grains per gallon in the United States is 10 but can range from 0 to 17. You can find your GPG number by purchasing an at-home water testing kit.

Installing a water softener takes between two to four hours on average. The exact duration depends on the complexity of the unit and whether additional plumbing or electrical work is required. If modifications to existing pipes are necessary, installation may take longer. Preparing the installation area by clearing any obstructions can help streamline the process.

Water softeners can last up to 25 years with proper maintenance and care. The lifespan depends on the type and quality of the unit you choose. Single-tank electric water softeners may last around 12 years, while higher-quality models tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, such as routine inspections and timely replacement of salts or potassium, helps extend the life of your system. Most water softeners require minimal repairs over their lifespan.
