The Right Water Filter Starts with Local Know-How—Not Google Guesswork

A woman in a striped shirt stands in a kitchen, holding a mug and looking at a laptop, with a notepad and pen on the counter.

The water in Mooresville isn’t the same as the water in Phoenix, and it sure isn’t the same as what’s coming out of the tap in New York or California. Across the country, local water conditions are shaped by geology, plumbing infrastructure, municipal treatment methods, well water sources, and even weather patterns.

Here in the Lake Norman region, we commonly see:

  • Hard water from natural mineral deposits
  • Iron staining in well water systems
  • Chlorine or chloramine taste and odor from municipal sources
  • Sediment from older plumbing or well systems
  • Occasionally, bacterial contamination in private wells

What works for one of those problems won’t work for the others—and in many homes, it’s a combination of issues.


Why National Water Treatment Companies Often Miss the Mark

When you’re dealing with a national brand or online-only water company, they’re often shipping the same “solution” to homes in North Carolina, Nebraska, and New Mexico. Their systems might be decent quality, but if it’s not designed for your local water conditions, it can easily underperform—or even make things worse.

We’ve visited customers who spent thousands on national systems that didn’t address their actual problems because no one tested their water first or asked about their plumbing setup. These companies just can’t offer the local insight needed to get it right. Even when they do, their products often fall short.

Artisanal Water Solutions was founded in Charlotte and offers products that are purpose built for the water in greater Charlotte and Lake Norman area.


Online Research Can Be Overwhelming (and Misleading)

If you’ve ever tried Googling “best water filter for my home,” you’ve probably ended up with a dozen tabs open, each recommending something different. From softeners to carbon filters to reverse osmosis to UV disinfection systems—it’s confusing, especially when you don’t know what your water actually needs.

The problem? Most of those sites are selling something—or they’re generic content written without understanding your specific situation.
