Raleigh Water Quality: What You Need to Know
Raleigh Public Utilities draws from Falls Lake (Neuse River watershed) and Jordan Lake (Cape Fear watershed), surface water sources that are softer than many other NC cities. Raleigh water typically tests 3-8 grains per gallon (GPG), which is considered moderately soft to moderately hard. By comparison, Charlotte can reach 15+ GPG from its well-water blending.
However, "relatively soft" doesn't mean problem-free. Even at 3-8 GPG, Raleigh homeowners experience scale buildup in water heaters and coffee makers, chloramine taste and odor (Raleigh uses chloramines rather than free chlorine for disinfection), and trace amounts of lead in older homes with original plumbing. The Environmental Working Group's Tap Water Database identifies over a dozen contaminants in Raleigh water that exceed health-based guidelines, including chromium-6, trihalomethanes, and haloacetic acids.
Aquafeel Solutions Carolina designs systems specifically for Triangle-area water, not the same systems we'd install in Charlotte or a well-water home in rural NC. A free in-home water test tells us exactly what's in your Raleigh water and what system (if any) you actually need.

Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is Raleigh tap water?
Raleigh water from Falls Lake and Jordan Lake typically tests 3-8 GPG, moderately soft to moderately hard. This is softer than Charlotte or many NC well-water areas, but still enough to cause gradual scale buildup and chloramine taste/odor. A free Aquafeel water test gives your home's exact reading.
Why does Raleigh water taste like chlorine?
Raleigh uses chloramines (chlorine + ammonia) rather than free chlorine for water disinfection. Chloramines are harder to remove than free chlorine, standard carbon block filters that work in other cities are less effective in Raleigh. Aquafeel designs filtration specifically for chloramine removal using catalytic carbon media.
Does Aquafeel serve Cary, Apex, and Wake Forest?
Yes. Aquafeel Solutions Carolina serves all of the Triangle including Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Fuquay-Varina, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Garner, Clayton, and throughout Wake, Johnston, Chatham, Orange, and Durham counties.
