FAQs
Why do residents in Collegedale need a water purification system?
Although Collegedaleâs municipal supply meets federal drinking-water standards, trace amounts of chlorine, sediment, agricultural runoff, and naturally occurring minerals can still affect taste, odor, and appliance longevity. A dedicated purification system ensures every tap in your home delivers crisp, contaminant-free water, protecting your familyâs health and reducing scale buildup in plumbing fixtures.
How does your cutting-edge filtration plumbing system work?
Our system combines a multistage sediment pre-filter, catalytic carbon block, high-capacity activated carbon media, and an optional UV-C sterilization chamber. Water enters the sediment filter first, capturing rust, sand, and silt down to 5 microns. It then flows through the catalytic carbon block, which oxidizes and removes chloramine and chlorine. The granular activated carbon (GAC) bed adsorbs pesticides, VOCs, and industrial chemicals. Finally, the UV-C stage neutralizes 99.99 % of bacteria and viruses without chemicals, ensuring clean, great-tasting water at every outlet.
Which contaminants does the system remove or reduce?
The unit is engineered to remove or significantly lower chlorine, chloramine, lead, mercury, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PFAS ("forever chemicals"), herbicides, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, cysts (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sediments, and unpleasant tastes or odors. With the UV-C add-on, microbial threats such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Legionella are also neutralized.
Will installing the filtration system affect my water pressure or flow rate?
Our whole-house units are sized for typical Collegedale homes and maintain a steady 12â15 GPM flow, more than sufficient for simultaneous showers, laundry, and dishwashing. High-capacity 1" inlet/outlet ports minimize pressure drop to less than 3 psi, so you wonât notice any reduction in water pressure.
How often do I need to service or replace the filters?
Routine maintenance is simple: replace the sediment pre-filter every 6â12 months (depending on water turbidity) and the catalytic carbon/GAC cartridge every 5 years or 600,000 gallonsâwhichever comes first. The UV-C lamp requires annual replacement to maintain sterilization efficiency. We offer an optional scheduled service plan that reminds you when parts are due and includes professional inspection.
What does installation involve, and is there a warranty?
A licensed technician will perform a site assessment, shut off the main water line, and mount the filtration unit on the incoming supply lineâtypically completed in 2â3 hours with minimal disruption. All plumbing connections are made with lead-free brass fittings and include a bypass loop for easy servicing. The system carries a 10-year tank and valve warranty, a 5-year warranty on carbon media, and a 1-year labor warranty, giving you long-term peace of mind.
