FAQs
Why do homeowners in Calhoun need a tailored water-purification system?
Calhoun’s municipal water consistently meets state safety standards, but it still carries minerals, chlorine, and trace agricultural runoff from the Coosawattee River basin. These substances can create hard-water scale, unpleasant taste and odor, and potential long-term health concerns. A tailored purification system is designed around your home’s incoming water chemistry, ensuring you remove the exact contaminants present in Calhoun while preserving beneficial minerals and flow rate.
What specific contaminants will your purification solutions remove?
After an in-home water test, we configure your system to target the findings, which in Calhoun frequently include: • Dissolved iron and manganese (orange or black staining) • Excess hardness (calcium and magnesium) • Chlorine/chloramine added by the city for disinfection • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and pesticides from agricultural activity • Sediment and rust from older distribution lines • Microbial cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium • Lead or copper that can leach from pre-1986 plumbing. A combination of sediment pre-filtration, catalytic carbon, specialized resin, and, if required, reverse osmosis modules is selected to achieve comprehensive removal.
Will the system reduce my water pressure or require major plumbing changes?
No. We size the manifold, valve, and media diameter to match your home’s existing service line, so typical pressure drop is less than 4 psi—imperceptible in showers or appliances. The system is plumbed into the main supply line, usually in the garage or utility room, using standard ¾" or 1" connections. No walls are torn out, and installation rarely takes more than 3–4 hours.
How often do I need to replace filters, and what is the maintenance cost?
Service intervals depend on water usage and local contaminant load, but most Calhoun homes need: • Sediment/carbon cartridges: every 6–12 months ($45–$65 each) • Softening or specialty resin: 7–10 years before re-bedding ($280–$350) • Reverse osmosis membranes (if installed): every 2–3 years ($120–$160). We offer an optional annual maintenance plan that includes testing, filter changes, sanitization, and warranty check for a single flat fee, so you never have to track dates or order parts yourself.
Are your purification systems certified and environmentally friendly?
All critical components are ANSI/NSF-certified (NSF 42 for aesthetic chlorine reduction, NSF 53 for health-related contaminant removal, and NSF 58 for RO units). Our softener regenerates with salt-efficient metered valves, reducing sodium discharge by up to 40% compared to conventional timers. Old filter cartridges are collected and sent to a plastics recycler, and we use refillable media tanks to minimize landfill waste.
What kind of warranty and customer support do you provide to Calhoun residents?
Every system comes with a limited lifetime warranty on the mineral tank and brine cabinet, 10 years on control valves, and 3–5 years on electronic components depending on model. If you enroll in our maintenance plan, labor is included for any warranty repair. Our local office on Hwy 53 provides same-day phone support and 24-hour emergency plumbing service, so you are never left waiting if a leak or technical issue arises.
