Water filtration system installation on Johns Island and Seabrook Island, SC

Blanton & Sons installs whole-home water filtration systems across Johns Island and Seabrook Island — from new builds off Maybank Highway to homes behind the Seabrook gate. We’re a family company based in Ravenel, about 20 minutes up Main Road, and we’ve been treating Lowcountry water since 1998.


Where Johns Island and Seabrook Island water comes from — and what’s in it

Most homes get municipal water through St. John’s Water Company

Which purchases treated water from Charleston Water System. That water starts in the Edisto River and the Bushy Park Reservoir, gets treated at the Hanahan plant, then travels miles of pipe to reach the islands.

utility disinfects with chloramine

To keep it safe over that distance, the utility disinfects with chloramine — a chlorine-ammonia blend chosen because it stays active in the pipes longer than chlorine alone. It works, and the water meets every EPA standard. It’s also why your tap can smell like a swimming pool and leave skin dry and hair brittle after showers.

Disinfection has a documented trade-off

Byproducts like trihalomethanes form when chlorine compounds react with natural organic matter. Charleston’s levels test well under federal limits, so this isn’t a scare story — but activated carbon filtration is exactly the technology that reduces chloramine, its taste, and those byproducts before they reach your taps.

homes still run on private wells

Out toward River Road and the rural stretches of Johns Island, plenty of homes still run on private wells. Well water here often carries iron staining, sediment, and that rotten-egg sulfur odor. HALO systems can work on well water, but a water analysis comes first — we test before we quote so the system we install actually fixes your water.

salt air shortens life of outdoor equipment

On Seabrook Island, salt air already shortens the life of outdoor equipment; hard water scale shouldn’t be shortening the life of everything inside too. Filtration protects water heaters, dishwashers, and fixtures — a real consideration for rental and second homes where small problems go unnoticed for weeks.
