What Makes Us Unique

Our locally based, certified team works closely with you from initial consultation to installation and follow-up servicing, ensuring a clear and personalized experience at every step. We believe clean water shouldn’t come with confusion, just clarity, reliability and long-term results.

We’ve been a family-owned and operated business for more than 35 years, offering the Kinetico product line exclusively. Why? Because its non-electric, twin-tank design is the most efficient and innovative option we’ve found, helping thousands of homeowners across five states enjoy better water without compromise.

Carolina Roots, National Reach

Our story began in a garage in Morehead City, NC, where founder Eugene Smelik, Sr. set out to solve his own water quality problems. He discovered Kinetico in 1971 and was so impressed by its design and performance that he made it his life’s mission to bring it to others.

In 1987, Kinetico Advanced Water Systems, Inc. was born and today, we’ve grown to 15 service locations across Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. In Grand Strand and surrounding areas, we continue that tradition of excellence by bringing locally informed service with nationwide experience.
