Hard water — water carrying dissolved calcium and magnesium — is one of the most commonly reported water issues across Horry County and the Grand Strand. It's the mineral content behind scale on fixtures, spots on dishes, stiff laundry, and buildup inside water heaters.
A properly sized water softener addresses the minerals responsible. ClearFlow measures your home's actual hardness with a free in-home test, then sizes equipment to your results — never a one-size-fits-all pitch.
