FAQs

Why is water purification important for Bean Station residents?
While Bean Station’s municipal supply meets federal safety standards, many homeowners notice chlorine taste, hard-water scale, and occasional sediment caused by older distribution lines. Private well users may face iron staining, sulfur odor, or bacterial contamination. A properly selected purification system eliminates these nuisances, protects plumbing fixtures and appliances, improves the taste of coffee, tea, and ice, and provides an extra layer of health protection for infants, elderly family members, or anyone with compromised immunity.
How does a whole-house filtration system installed by Crystal-Clear Water Plumbing work?
Whole-house units are placed on the main incoming water line so every tap—kitchen, bath, laundry, and outdoor spigots—receives treated water. First, a sediment pre-filter removes sand and rust. Water then flows through a catalytic carbon or mixed-media tank that adsorbs chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, and organic compounds that cause taste and odor issues. An optional water softener exchanges hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) for sodium or potassium ions, preventing scale buildup. The system backwashes automatically, so maintenance is minimal and water pressure stays strong.
What contaminants do you commonly find when testing Bean Station water?
Our free on-site test panels frequently detect: • Total hardness between 8–14 grains per gallon (gpg), which causes scale. • Chlorine residuals of 1–2 ppm in city water—noticeable in taste and odor. • Dissolved iron (0.3–1.0 ppm) in several well systems, leading to orange staining on sinks and laundry. • Hydrogen-sulfide gas, producing a ‘rotten-egg’ smell in some wells. • Turbidity from fine clay or silt after heavy rains. We also send samples to a certified lab when customers request lead, nitrate, or bacterial (coliform/E. coli) analysis.
How often do filters, membranes, and lamps need service?
Sediment and carbon pre-filters should be replaced every 6–12 months, depending on water usage and sediment load. RO membranes last 3–5 years when pre-filters are changed on time. Softener resin can last 10–15 years, but salt levels must be checked monthly. UV lamps require annual replacement to maintain 40 mJ/cm² disinfection performance, and the quartz sleeve is cleaned at the same visit. We offer an affordable service plan that tracks these intervals and provides discounted cartridges and labor.
Will a purification system add value to my home, and what are the typical costs?
Realtors in Grainger County report that upgraded water quality is a selling point, especially for homes on private wells or in areas with known hard water. Appraisal value increases are typically modest, but a modern system helps homes sell faster and can boost buyer confidence during inspection. Installed costs in Bean Station range from $950–$1,600 for basic whole-house carbon units, $1,200–$2,500 for softeners with iron/sulfur removal, and $350–$650 for under-sink RO systems. We provide written quotes, financing options, and a transferable warranty, so you know exactly what you’re investing in.
