Meeting federal minimums and being good for your home, your pipes, and your skin are two different bars. We come test your actual water, look at your system, and tell you what you need — including nothing.
Most water companies show up with the thing they were always going to sell you. We show up with a test kit. What we recommend depends entirely on what your water and your HVAC actually tell us — and sometimes that answer is "you're fine."
A 15-minute call. We read your county's water report with you and decide together whether an in-home visit is even worth it.
We test your actual water on the spot — hardness, chlorine, metals — and look at your HVAC. Real evidence, not a sales pitch.
You see the results yourself. We tell you what you need, what you don't, and what it costs — on the spot, no surprises.
One clean install, then Cardinal Care keeps it running — salt and filters delivered, water tested, service handled, nothing to track.
A hardness test turning purple on your own kitchen counter is worth more than any brochure. When we recommend a system, it's because your water showed us the problem — not because it's what we came to sell. Most municipal water in metro Atlanta meets federal standards; sometimes the scale and chlorine are worth treating, and sometimes they aren't.
When the test comes back clean, we say so. A company that will tell you that you don't need them is the one you can trust when you do.
You don't shop these like a catalog — we prescribe them based on what your home actually needs. The C-Series for city water is $3,600, and the W-Series for well water is $6,000 — each with a salt-softening upgrade available for $1,500 more. Drinking-water reverse osmosis is $900. We confirm what your home actually needs on the in-home visit, after we test your water.
For homes on city water: a sediment pre-filter plus a catalytic carbon tank that strips chlorine, chloramine, and the tastes and smells at every tap. Add salt softening for true soft water and scale protection.
For homes on a private well. Adds a UV canister to neutralize bacteria — the piece well water needs and city water doesn't — plus catalytic carbon filtration. Salt softening available as an upgrade.
Reverse osmosis under the kitchen sink for the water you actually drink. Removes lead and dissolved solids. Certified to NSF/ANSI 53 & 58.
A deep-media filter built into your HVAC, replacing the flimsy one-inch filter. Catches dust, pollen, and dander at every cycle. Aprilaire.
A germicidal UV-C light on the AC coil, where mold and bacteria grow. Keeps the coil clean and the musty smell out. Aprilaire.
Ducted into the HVAC, holding the whole house in the healthy humidity zone. Starves mold and dust mites. Aprilaire.
A quick call to look at your water situation together and see whether an in-home assessment makes sense.
