FAQs
What types of water purification systems do your licensed technicians install in Blaine?
Our technicians are certified to install a full range of residential and light–commercial purification solutions, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) units, point-of-use ultrafiltration, water softeners, UV disinfection systems, and combination filters that target iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide—two common concerns in Blaine’s municipal and private well supplies. We help you choose the best technology after on-site testing of your water’s chemistry, hardness, and flow rate.
How do I know if I need a water purification system for my Blaine home?
Several indicators suggest treatment is advisable: persistent chlorine taste or odor, staining on fixtures from iron or manganese, cloudy (turbid) water, scale buildup in appliances, or elevated levels of nitrates, lead, or PFAS in test results. Because Blaine’s water sources can vary, we offer complimentary lab-certified testing. Results are reviewed with you in plain language so you can make an informed decision.
Are your technicians actually licensed, and why does that matter?
Yes. All of our plumbers hold current Minnesota journeyman or master plumbing licenses and complete annual continuing-education courses in water treatment. Licensing matters because it ensures your system is installed to state plumbing code, preventing cross-connection, backflow, or pressure issues that could contaminate your home’s potable supply or void appliance warranties. It also means any required city of Blaine permits and inspections are handled correctly.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
A standard whole-house filtration or softening system takes 3–5 hours from shut-off to restart. Reverse osmosis systems typically add 1–2 hours for faucet and drain line connections. The steps are: (1) isolate and depressurize the water line; (2) mount and plumb the unit with code-approved fittings; (3) connect electrical/UV components if applicable; (4) sanitize and purge the system; (5) perform a performance check and final water test. We schedule at your convenience and leave the work area clean.
How much maintenance is required after installation?
Maintenance varies by system. Carbon filter media usually needs replacement every 6–12 months; RO pre- and post-filters every 6–12 months and membranes every 2–3 years; water softeners require salt top-ups monthly and resin cleaning every 1–2 years; UV lamps are replaced annually. We offer affordable service plans that include reminder notifications, certified parts, and annual water retesting to verify the unit is still meeting its performance targets.
What warranties and guarantees do you provide?
All purification equipment comes with manufacturer warranties—typically 5–10 years on tanks, 1–3 years on electronic controls, and lifetime on certain structural components. Our workmanship is backed by a 1-year labor guarantee, extended to 5 years if you enroll in our maintenance plan. Should any installation-related leak or performance issue occur within the guarantee period, we return at no charge to make it right.
