Whole House Water Filtration in Ball Ground and Canton, GA
Water filtration for Cherokee County homes
Homes in Ball Ground, Canton, Holly Springs and Woodstock are on one of two kinds of water: county water, which is treated and generally good but carries chlorine, hardness and the occasional sediment from main breaks, and well water, which is common north of Canton and around Ball Ground and Waleska and can carry iron, sediment, hardness and bacteria. The right system depends on which one you have and what a test shows, so we test first. Performance Plumbing is a licensed plumber based on Valley Street in Ball Ground, Georgia master plumber license MP210684, and we install, repair and service water treatment across Cherokee County, Cumming and Jasper.
What we install and service:
- Whole house sediment and carbon filtration for chlorine, taste and odor
- Water softeners for hard water scale on fixtures, glass and water heaters
- Well water treatment: iron and manganese filters, sediment, UV disinfection
- Under sink reverse osmosis for drinking water and ice
- Filter changes, softener salt and media service on existing systems, whatever brand
- Repairs on leaking housings, bypass valves and control heads
Which system, and why we test first
Most of what people call water problems are one of three things: chlorine taste and smell on county water, which a carbon filter handles; hardness, which shows up as white scale on faucets and glass and shortens the life of a water heater, which a softener handles; or well water issues like iron staining, rotten egg smell and sediment, which need a system matched to the test. A whole house filter does nothing for hardness, and a softener does nothing for taste, so buying the wrong one is the most common mistake we see. We test the water, show you the numbers and recommend the smallest system that fixes your actual problem.
Installation and service
A whole house system goes in at the main where it enters the house, with a bypass so you can isolate it for service, and the drain and power a softener or UV unit needs. Under sink reverse osmosis takes a morning. We service any brand: filter changes on a schedule, softener resin and salt, UV lamp replacement, and repairs on housings and control heads. If you are replacing the water heater because scale killed it, a softener at the same time is the cheapest insurance on the new one.
What we do not do
We are not a water filter sales company. We do not push a system without a test, we do not sell a whole house unit to a home that needs a softener, and we do not run service routes outside Cherokee County, Cumming, Jasper and Kennesaw. If you are searching from Newnan or Atlanta, a plumber closer to you will serve you better.

Questions people ask before they call
Do I need a whole house filter or a water softener?
They fix different problems. Carbon filtration handles chlorine taste and smell; a softener handles hard water scale. We test the water first and recommend the smallest system that fixes your actual problem.
Is Cherokee County water hard?
Hard enough that scale on faucets, glass and water heaters is common on county water, and often harder on wells. A test tells you the number.
My home is on a well. What do you recommend?
It depends on the test. Iron, sediment, hardness and bacteria each need different treatment, and we only recommend after we see the results.
Do you service systems you did not install?
Yes. Filter changes, softener service, UV lamps and repairs on any brand.
How often do filters need changing?
Whole house sediment and carbon filters usually every six to twelve months depending on water use and water quality. Reverse osmosis membranes last longer. We set a schedule when we install.
Will a softener make my water feel slippery?
Slightly, and that is the scale no longer being there. Most homeowners stop noticing within a week.
Where does a whole house system go?
At the main water line where it enters the house, with a bypass valve so it can be isolated for service.
Can a filter protect my water heater?
A softener can. Scale is what kills most water heaters in hard water areas, and a softener installed with a new heater is the cheapest insurance on it.
Is there a service call fee?
No. We come out, test the water, and give you a flat rate quote before any work starts.
