FAQs

What is whole-home water purification and how does it work?

A whole-home purification system is installed on your main water line so every tap—kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, and outside spigots—receives filtered water. Incoming water first passes through a sediment pre-filter that captures sand, rust, and other particulates. Next, it moves through activated carbon or catalytic media that adsorb chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bad tastes, and odors. Some systems include additional stages such as KDF media for heavy metals or a UV light chamber that deactivates bacteria, viruses, and cysts. The result is cleaner, better-tasting water delivered to every fixture without the need for separate point-of-use filters.

Why is whole-home purification important for Clairfield residents?

Clairfield’s municipal and well water sources can carry elevated levels of iron, hardness minerals, agricultural runoff, and chlorine used for disinfection. While these levels are usually within regulatory limits, they can still cause staining, scaling, unpleasant taste, and potential long-term health concerns. A whole-home purifier removes these substances before they reach your plumbing and appliances, protecting water heaters, dishwashers, and fixtures from mineral buildup, reducing skin and hair irritation, and giving your family consistently high-quality water for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

What contaminants can your systems remove?

Depending on the configuration we recommend after testing your water, our systems can reduce or eliminate: • Sediment such as sand, silt, and rust • Chlorine and chloramine disinfectants • Lead, mercury, and other heavy metals • Pesticides, herbicides, and industrial VOCs • Excess iron and manganese that cause staining • Hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) when paired with a softening module • Microbial threats like bacteria, viruses, and cysts when UV or ultrafiltration is included. We tailor each system to target the specific issues found in Clairfield water.

Will installing a whole-home purifier lower my water pressure or flow rate?

Properly sized equipment should have a negligible effect on normal household pressure. We calculate your home’s peak flow demand and select filtration tanks and media with adequate diameter and surface area. Sediment pre-filters are high-capacity and easy to change, preventing clog-induced pressure drops. If you currently have low pressure, we can incorporate a booster pump or recommend plumbing adjustments to ensure optimal performance.

How often do filters or other components need maintenance or replacement?

Maintenance depends on water quality and household usage, but typical schedules are: • Sediment pre-filter: every 6-12 months • Carbon or catalytic media: every 3-5 years • UV lamp (if installed): bulb annually, sleeve cleaning every 12 months • Water softener salt: refill as needed, usually every 4-6 weeks. We provide an easy-to-follow maintenance calendar and offer annual service plans so you never have to track it yourself.

What is the installation process and how long does it take?

1) Water Testing: We perform a free on-site test or review recent lab results to identify contaminants. 2) System Design: Based on the data and your household size, we recommend the right combination of filters, softening, and UV if necessary. 3) Scheduling: Most installations are booked within a week of approval. 4) Installation Day: Our licensed Clairfield plumbers shut off the main, cut into the line, and mount the equipment—usually in a basement, utility room, or garage. We then sanitize the system, restart the water, and verify flow and purity. 5) Walk-through: We show you how to read the control valve, change pre-filters, and set maintenance reminders. Standard installations take 4–6 hours, while more complex setups (e.g., combining softening and reverse osmosis) may require a full day.
