FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install in Altamont?
We design, supply, and install a full range of point-of-entry (whole-house) and point-of-use purification solutions, including carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO), ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, water softeners, iron/sulfur filters, and combination systems that integrate multiple technologies in one compact unit. All equipment is rated to meet New York State Department of Health standards and is sized to match Altamont’s typical water chemistry and flow-rate requirements.
How do I know which purification system is right for my home or business?
Our process starts with a complimentary on-site water analysis that checks for hardness, chlorine, iron, manganese, pH, dissolved solids, bacteria, and any local contaminants reported in Altamont’s municipal Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). Based on those results, we provide a written recommendation that balances water quality goals, plumbing layout, space constraints, and budget. We can also tailor solutions for specific applications such as well water, food service, medical labs, or breweries.
Will a whole-house purification system improve the taste and odor of Altamont’s water?
Yes. While Altamont’s municipal water already meets federal safety guidelines, residual chlorine, chloramines, and naturally occurring minerals can create an unpleasant taste or smell. A properly sized activated carbon or catalytic carbon system removes these disinfectants and organic compounds, while optional RO polishing eliminates dissolved solids that contribute to metallic or salty aftertastes. Users typically notice fresher-tasting drinking water, cleaner ice, and reduced scale buildup in appliances.
How often do filters and membranes need to be replaced?
Service intervals depend on water usage and quality. In most Altamont homes: • Sediment pre-filters: every 6–12 months • Carbon cartridges: every 6–12 months • RO membranes: every 3–5 years • UV lamps: annually (sleeve cleaning recommended at each lamp change) Commercial sites with higher volumes may require more frequent changes. We supply a maintenance calendar and can automate reminders so you never miss a replacement.
Is professional maintenance required, or can I service the system myself?
Many homeowners handle basic cartridge changes with the wrench and instructions we provide. However, tasks like RO membrane sanitization, UV sleeve cleaning, media re-bedding, or advanced diagnostics should be performed by a certified technician to maintain warranties and ensure compliance with local plumbing codes. We offer affordable service plans that include annual checkups, flow-rate verification, sample testing, and emergency support.
Are there local incentives or regulations in Altamont that affect installation of water purification systems?
Altamont follows Albany County plumbing codes, which require backflow prevention on any device connected to the potable water supply. We install the appropriate dual-check or RPZ assemblies and handle permit paperwork when necessary. While no city rebates are currently offered, many homeowners claim state tax credits for energy-efficient water softeners and can finance systems through Green Jobs-Green New York (GJGNY) loans. We stay current on all local ordinances so your installation is fully compliant and eligible for available incentives.
