FAQs
Why is water purification especially important for homes and businesses in Blountville?
Much of the water in the Blountville area is supplied by surface-water reservoirs fed by rainfall and mountain run-off. While the municipal utility does treat the water, it can still contain dissolved minerals, chlorine by-products, traces of agricultural chemicals, and sediment picked up in distribution pipes. A professionally installed purification system provides a final barrier that removes these residual contaminants, improves taste and odor, and protects plumbing fixtures from scale buildup.
What types of water purification systems do your licensed plumbers install?
We install a full range of NSF-certified systems, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water units, UV disinfection lamps, water softeners, and combination systems that handle multiple issues in a single tank. Our plumbers are Tennessee-licensed for both plumbing and water treatment work, ensuring the system is tied into your existing plumbing safely and in compliance with state code.
How do I know which purification system is right for my property?
Start with a free on-site water evaluation. One of our licensed technicians will collect samples and check for hardness, chlorine, total dissolved solids, iron, sulfur, and bacterial activity. Based on these results, your water-usage patterns, and the number of fixtures in the building, we prepare a written recommendation outlining the best technology, expected performance, and cost. This customized approach prevents oversizing and keeps operating expenses low.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
Most point-of-entry systems can be installed in one day. We shut off the main water supply, cut into the line after the meter, mount the filter or softener tank on a stable base, and connect bypass valves for easy service. For RO units, we drill a dedicated faucet hole (if needed) and route a drain line to the nearest trap. After pressurizing the system, we flush and test for leaks, run a post-installation water analysis, and show you how to operate the controls. All work is permitted and inspected as required by Sullivan County regulations.
How much maintenance will my water purification system require?
Maintenance depends on the system type. Carbon filters typically need media replacement every 6â12 months; RO membranes last 2â3 years with regular pre-filter changes; softener resin can last a decade if the brine tank is kept filled with clean salt. We offer affordable service plans that include annual testing, filter changes, sanitizer flushes, and a multi-point inspection to keep your warranty valid and your water quality optimal.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured, and what warranties do you offer?
Yes. Every technician who works on your project holds a current Tennessee Journeyman or Master Plumber license with the additional Water Treatment endorsement. The company carries $2 million in liability insurance and full workersâ compensation coverage. We back our labor with a 1-year workmanship warranty, and most of the purification equipment we install comes with manufacturer warranties ranging from 3 to 10 years on tanks, valves, and electronics.
