Questions about water filtration & softening
Water leaking right now? Shut off your main valve first. Emergency guidance. (Tidewell is fictional; nobody is on call.)
Do I need a whole-home system?
Not always. Many households are happy with an under-sink filter for drinking water.
Will a softener make my water salty?
Properly set softeners add very little sodium. We'll explain options if that's a concern.
