Water Filtration & SoftenersWater Purification Company in Cleveland, TN
Water filtration systems, whole-home filtration and water softeners for Cleveland homes. We look at your water first, then tell you what it needs.
The Right Fix for Your Water
A filter and a softener fix different problems. Which one you need starts with what's wrong at your tap.
Grizzly Plumbing is a water purification company in Cleveland, TN. We install water filtration systems, whole-home filtration and water softeners, and water filtration is one of the biggest parts of what we do. Every job starts the same way. We look at your setup, ask what's bothering you about the water, and tell you what it needs. Nothing more than that.
In town, the usual complaint is chlorine. Cleveland Utilities adds chlorine to control microbes and draws its water from the Hiwassee and Tennessee Rivers and a limestone spring, as its yearly water quality report explains. That's good for your pipes. It's also why plenty of people here notice the taste. City water in Cleveland isn't very hard either, so a lot of homes need a filter more than a softener.

Filter, Softener or Both?
If the kitchen, the shower and the laundry all taste or smell like chlorine, that's a whole-house problem. A whole-home filter on the main line treats the water before it reaches any fixture.
If the glass in your hand is what you care about, an under-sink filter at the kitchen tap can be enough. If that solves it, that's what we'll recommend.
That's hard water. A filter by itself won't take the minerals out. A water softener will, if your water is hard enough to need one.
Some homes need a filter and a softener. We'll tell you which one fits, or whether you need both, before you spend anything.
Two Different Jobs
A filter and a softener can look alike sitting in a basement. They don't do the same work.
Water Filtration Systems
A water filtration system cleans your water before it reaches the tap. Depending on the system, it cuts chlorine, sediment and other impurities. It can be one filter under the kitchen sink, or a whole-home system on the main line so every faucet, shower and appliance gets filtered water.
The install is where the plumbing matters. Older homes around Cleveland mostly have galvanized steel or CPVC lines, and we've fixed plenty of "custom" handyman work that never followed a code book. We tie the system into the lines you have, with quality parts, not quick-fix fittings. See how we handle water filtration system installation, from a single cartridge to a whole-home setup.
Water filter installation is the smaller version of the same job: a single filter at the main line or under the kitchen sink, plumbed in properly so it doesn't leak or drop your pressure. If that's all your water needs, that's all we'll install.
Water Softeners
A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that make water hard. Those minerals leave scale on fixtures and build up inside pipes and water heaters. A softener doesn't take out chlorine or sediment. That's the filter's job, and some homes end up with both.
Because city water here isn't very hard, a softener isn't automatic in Cleveland. We check first. If your water isn't hard enough to need one, we'll tell you before you buy. Read more about water softener installation and what it does for your water heater.

Water Treatment Questions
Do I need a water softener or a water filter?
It depends on the problem. Chlorine taste or smell points to filtration. White crust on faucets and spots on dishes point to hard water, which a softener handles. Some homes need both, and we'll tell you which fits after we've looked at your water.
Will a water filter fix hard water spots?
Not on its own. A filter cuts chlorine, sediment and other impurities, but it doesn't remove the calcium and magnesium that leave spots and scale. That's what a water softener is for.
Is Cleveland city water hard?
Not very. Because the water isn't hard, water heaters in town often last well past 10 years. The more common complaint is the chlorine taste, and that's a job for filtration.
Is an under-sink filter enough?
Often, yes, if drinking and cooking water is all you care about. If you notice chlorine in the shower and the laundry too, it's a whole-house problem, and a whole-home system on the main line is the better fix.
Can you install a system in an older home?
Yes. Many older homes around Cleveland have galvanized steel or CPVC lines. We tie the system into the plumbing you have with quality parts, and if something needs fixing first, we'll tell you before we start.
What happens before any work starts?
We look at your setup, explain what's going on with your water and give you the price. Nothing gets installed until you approve it, and if a simple filter solves the problem, that's what we'll recommend.
