Advanced Water Systems was started by Gene Smelik, Sr. in January of 1986. In 1970, Gene purchased a Kinetico system for his farmhouse in the Cleveland, Ohio area.  In the 1980's, Gene recognized the need for a quality water system for Carteret County citizens - one that uses less salt, has very low maintenance, is completely automatic and non-electric so he began installing Kinetico systems.

Outstanding service has always been the #1 priority with Advanced Water Systems.  In 1990, Gene's son, Jesse, started installing Kinetico equipment and fixing other brands of water softeners while growing a steady customer base. In 1995, Gene's son, Patrick, started in the sales management position and has worked with the premium builders of North Carolina, increasing the number of Kinetico customers with the help of his vast knowledge of water treatment.
