The founder
Founder, Pristine Water Networks.
I moved my family from New Jersey to Summerville in 2023. The first thing I tested was the water coming out of our own kitchen tap. 7.2 grains per gallon of hardness. Five PFAS compounds above EWG’s health guidelines, including PFUnA at 1,183x the advisory level.
I started Pristine Water Networks because nobody in this market was publishing what they actually found, what they actually charged, or what they’d actually recommend. The vertical hides its pricing until a 90-minute in-home pitch. That is not how I want to spend a Saturday, and it is not how I want to sell.
If your water tests fine, I will tell you. If it doesn’t, you will see every number in plain English before I ever mention a system.
The move
We came for the schools, the slab foundations, and the marsh. We stayed because the people here will look you in the eye and ask where you’re from before they tell you where to get boiled peanuts.
What I did not expect: water that was legal, but not anywhere close to what I’d been drinking up north. A $96M CPW remediation project that will not complete until 2029-2031. A March 2026 boil-water advisory that hit 70,000-200,000 people when a contractor punctured a 48-inch main.
The Lowcountry deserves a water treatment company that treats it like it’s home -- because for my family, it is.
Credentials
Everything below is checkable. NSF certifications at info.nsf.org. SC license under 40-59-20(7). The numbers on this site either link to a public source or are labelled “unverified estimate.”
Launched as a zero-pressure, data-first water treatment practice serving Summerville, Nexton, Cane Bay, and Carnes Crossroads.
Added Puronics as the installed system because Puronics carries independent NSF/ANSI certification, verified at info.nsf.org.
Built a vetted network of SC-licensed, insured partner plumbers to perform every install. Credentials on file; license numbers displayed on install paperwork.
Moved from New Jersey with family. First hardness test on our own tap: 7.2 GPG and five PFAS compounds above EWG guidelines. That was the brief.
Every word on this site is written to one household, the one trying to decide what they want coming out of the tap their kids drink from. Not to an algorithm, not to an awards panel, not to a sales pitch.
If anything reads like a franchise brochure, it’s my failure and I want to hear about it.
45 minutes. Your kitchen counter. Every number in plain English.
