FAQs

What is reverse osmosis and how does it improve water quality in Blountville?

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water-purification process that forces household water through a semipermeable membrane and multiple pre- and post-filters. The membrane blocks dissolved salts, lead, arsenic, nitrates, PFAS, microplastics, and most microorganisms, allowing only purified H₂O molecules to reach the storage tank. Blountville’s municipal and well water sources can contain hardness minerals and trace contaminants; an RO drinking station offers a final barrier that produces bottle-quality water right at your sink.

How often should the filters and membrane be replaced on my RO drinking station?

For typical Blountville households, we recommend replacing the sediment and carbon pre-filters every 6–12 months, the RO membrane every 2–3 years, and the post-carbon polishing filter once a year. However, high-sediment private wells or heavy household usage may shorten these intervals. Our service plans track your filter dates and provide reminders or automatic visits so you never miss a change.

Does reverse osmosis remove healthy minerals, and is the water still good for me?

The RO membrane strips out both harmful and beneficial dissolved minerals. The resulting water is exceptionally clean but low in calcium and magnesium. Most diets supply far more of these minerals than water ever could, so mineral loss is not a health risk. If you prefer mineralized taste, we can add an inline remineralization cartridge that restores calcium and magnesium for a crisp, balanced flavor.

What maintenance and support do you offer for RO systems in Blountville?

We provide full-service installation, annual or semi-annual filter changes, membrane performance testing, sanitization of storage tanks, leak inspections, and 24/7 emergency support. All work is performed by licensed Tennessee plumbers familiar with local water conditions. Customers who enroll in our maintenance plan receive priority scheduling and discounted replacement parts.

How much water is wasted during reverse osmosis, and can this be reduced?

Conventional RO systems send 3–4 gallons of concentrate (waste) down the drain for every gallon of purified water produced. We install modern, high-efficiency units that cut the ratio to about 1:1. For eco-conscious homeowners, we can plumb the concentrate line to a rain barrel, irrigation zone, or gray-water tank so it can be reused for non-potable purposes.

Do I need a professional to install an RO drinking station, or can I DIY?

While DIY kits exist, professional installation ensures the system is correctly sized, the drain saddle and feed lines are leak-free, and local plumbing codes are met. Our technicians pressure-test the system, sanitize it before first use, and register your warranty with the manufacturer—steps often missed in DIY installs. A proper professional setup maximizes membrane life, prevents costly water damage, and keeps your warranty intact.
