FAQs
Why should I install a water-purification system in Cleveland?
Although Cleveland’s Division of Water meets all state and federal standards, customers often want an extra layer of protection from issues such as aging lead service lines, seasonal algae blooms on Lake Erie that can create taste and odor problems, and naturally hard water that can leave mineral scale. A professionally installed purification system targets these local concerns, giving you cleaner-tasting water, protecting your plumbing and appliances, and providing peace of mind for every glass you pour.
What types of water-purification systems do you offer and how do they work?
We install three main categories of systems: 1. Whole-house carbon filtration: A high-capacity carbon bed adsorbs chlorine, chloramines, organic chemicals, and bad tastes/odors as water enters the home. 2. Reverse osmosis (RO): Installed at a dedicated faucet, RO pushes water through an ultra-fine membrane that removes up to 99% of dissolved solids, lead, PFAS, and fluoride. 3. Water softeners/conditioners: Ion-exchange softeners swap calcium and magnesium for harmless sodium (or potassium) ions, eliminating hardness; salt-free conditioners are also available for scale control. Many clients pair a softener with an RO system—softening protects the RO membrane, while RO delivers drinking water that rivals bottled quality.
Is Cleveland municipal water safe, and what contaminants can your systems remove?
The water leaving Cleveland’s plants is safe, but it can pick up contaminants as it travels through miles of pipe—especially in homes built before 1986 that may still have lead lines or solder. Our systems are certified to remove: • Lead and copper from pipe corrosion • Chlorine/chloramine by-products (THMs) • PFAS ("forever chemicals") • Microcystins from algae blooms • Pesticides, herbicides, and industrial solvents • Hardness minerals, iron, and manganese • Sediment and rust particles We test your water on-site and recommend the exact media or membrane technology needed to target the results we find.
How often do water filters need to be replaced and what maintenance is required?
Service intervals depend on water usage and incoming quality, but typical guidelines are: • Whole-house carbon filters: media change every 3–5 years or 600,000 gallons. • Reverse osmosis systems: sediment and carbon pre-filters annually, RO membrane every 3–5 years, post-filter every 12–18 months. • Water softeners: add solar-grade salt as needed (usually one 40-lb bag per month for a family of four). Resin bed lasts 10–15 years. We offer economical maintenance plans that include annual testing, filter changes, sanitization, and system performance checks so you never have to remember the schedule yourself.
Will a whole-house purification system affect my water pressure or plumbing?
When sized correctly, today’s back-washing carbon tanks and high-flow softeners have minimal impact on pressure. We calculate flow demand based on fixture count and peak usage so the system matches your plumbing. Our installations include bypass valves, pressure gauges, and thermal expansion protection, and we obtain any permits required by the City of Cleveland to ensure compliance with local codes. If your home already has marginal pressure, we can recommend booster pumps or point-of-use solutions that guarantee strong flow at every tap.
What is the cost of installing a water-purification system in Cleveland and are financing options available?
Pricing varies with water chemistry, home size, and system complexity. Typical ranges: • Whole-house carbon or softener: $1,500–$3,000 installed. • Reverse osmosis (kitchen): $550–$950 installed. • Combination packages with UV sterilization or specialty media: $2,500–$4,500. We provide free in-home testing and written quotes valid for 30 days. Flexible financing through GreenSky and Synchrony lets most customers qualify for 0% interest for 12–18 months or low-payment plans up to 72 months. All installations include parts and labor warranty, and many components carry additional NSF/ANSI certifications and manufacturer guarantees up to 10 years.
