FAQs
Why is a whole-house water purification system important in Allardt?
Fentress County’s municipal and well water commonly show traces of hardness minerals, iron, and agricultural run-off. While most samples meet federal potability standards, they can still stain fixtures, shorten appliance life, and affect taste. A certified whole-house purifier gives you consistent, bottled-water quality from every tap, protects your plumbing from scale, and ensures your family is safeguarded against seasonal spikes in contaminants. Our licensed Tennessee plumbers size and configure each system to match the specific chemistry of Allardt’s water supply.
What kinds of contaminants can your systems remove?
We tailor each installation to your water analysis, but the technologies we use typically eliminate or dramatically reduce: • Sediment and rust down to 1 micron • Chlorine, chloramines, unpleasant tastes, and odors • Hardness (calcium and magnesium) that cause scale • Iron and manganese responsible for red-brown staining • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and pesticides commonly found in farm areas • Lead and other heavy metals • Microbiological threats such as cysts, bacteria, and viruses when UV or ultrafiltration modules are added. We test before and after installation so you can see measurable improvements.
How does the installation process work with your licensed technicians?
1. Free on-site assessment – We collect water samples and inspect your plumbing layout. 2. Lab analysis – Results guide the selection of filtration media, softening capacity, or reverse-osmosis stages. 3. Proposal – You receive a written quote that includes unit cost, parts, labor, and any permit fees required by the City of Allardt. 4. Professional installation – Our state-licensed plumbers mount the system at the main water entry, tie in bypass valves, and code-secure pressure relief and drain lines. Typical jobs take 4–6 hours with water shut-off limited to 30–60 minutes. 5. Post-install verification – We perform flow tests, leak checks, and walk you through operating the control head and Wi-Fi monitoring app.
How often do the filters, softener resin, or RO membranes need replacement?
Service intervals depend on water quality and household usage, but our average Allardt customer follows this schedule: • Sediment/carbon pre-filters: every 6–12 months • Catalytic carbon or KDF media: every 2–3 years • Softener resin cleaning (brine tank): annually, with resin replacement after 10–12 years • Reverse-osmosis membrane: 2–5 years • UV lamp: 12 months. Each unit we install has a digital controller that tracks gallons processed and alerts you, and we send e-mail reminders. Signing up for our maintenance plan locks in parts discounts and extends the manufacturer’s warranty.
Will adding a purification system reduce my water pressure or require major plumbing changes?
Properly sized equipment should not noticeably affect pressure. Our technicians calculate peak-flow demand and select media tanks and piping that preserve the 40–60 psi range typical in Allardt homes. For high-flow fixtures or irrigation lines, we can install a bypass to keep pressure optimal. Most systems fit in the same footprint as a water heater and tie into existing ¾" or 1" main lines, so structural modifications are minimal. If your home has galvanized piping or code issues, we’ll flag them and offer solutions before starting work.
Do you offer maintenance plans and what warranty coverage is included?
Yes. All installations come with a manufacturer’s limited warranty—usually 5 years on tanks and valves and 10 years on electronic control heads. Our workmanship is covered for a full 12 months. Optional Care+ plans include: • Annual inspection, water test, and filter changes • Priority scheduling within 24 hours for leaks or pressure issues • 20 % discount on replacement parts • Warranty extension to match the manufacturer’s term on labor. By entrusting upkeep to our licensed team, you ensure your system remains in compliance with NSF/ANSI standards and local plumbing codes.
