FAQs
What is a whole-house water purification system and how is it different from a point-of-use filter?
A whole-house system is installed on the main water line where it enters your Copperhill home, so every tap—kitchen, bath, laundry, outdoor spigots—receives treated water. Point-of-use devices (such as pitcher filters or sink attachments) treat water at a single outlet only. Whole-house purification protects pipes and appliances from scale, removes contaminants before they circulate through your plumbing, and delivers consistently clean, odor-free water everywhere in the house.
Why is water purification especially important in Copperhill, TN?
Copperhill’s municipal and well supplies can contain elevated levels of iron, manganese, sulfur, sediment, chlorine by-products, and occasional agricultural runoff. The region’s older copper plumbing can also contribute trace metals. A professionally designed whole-house system addresses these local concerns by combining sediment pre-filters, carbon blocks, catalytic media, and optional UV sterilization to ensure your family has safe, great-tasting water year-round.
Which contaminants will a whole-house solution remove or reduce?
Our customized Copperhill packages can target: • Sediment, rust, and dirt down to 5 microns • Chlorine, chloramines, and unpleasant tastes or odors • Heavy metals such as copper, lead, and iron • Hard-water minerals (calcium, magnesium) that cause scale • Volatile organic compounds (pesticides, herbicides) • Hydrogen sulfide (the “rotten egg” smell) • Bacteria, viruses, and cysts when paired with UV or ultrafiltration modules
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my water service?
Most standard installations in Copperhill are completed in one day. Our plumbers shut off the main supply, cut into the line, and mount the pre-filter, media tank, and any softener or UV unit in sequence. Water is typically shut off for 2–4 hours. We coordinate a time that minimizes inconvenience and we always flush the system afterward so you have clean, ready-to-use water before we leave.
What maintenance does the system require after installation?
Maintenance is straightforward: • Sediment/carbon pre-filter cartridges: replace every 6–12 months (we label the filter housing with the due date). • Media tank: catalytic carbon or mixed-bed media lasts 5–10 years before a simple rebedding. • Water softener (if included): add salt pellets as needed and schedule an annual service check. • UV lamp: replace the bulb each year and clean the quartz sleeve. We offer affordable service plans, or you can perform the tasks yourself with guidance from our technician.
How much does a whole-house purification system cost and are financing options available?
Pricing varies by flow rate, water chemistry, and add-ons (softener, UV, RO). In Copperhill, a complete turnkey installation typically ranges from $1,600 for a basic carbon/sediment setup to $4,500+ for a deluxe multi-stage system with softening and UV. We provide a free on-site water test and written quote. Interest-free financing for 6 or 12 months is available with approved credit, and our systems are backed by a 10-year tank warranty and a 2-year workmanship guarantee.
