FAQs
What is a whole-house water purification system and how does it work?
A whole-house system is installed on the main water line where it enters your Cowan home, so every tap—kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, and outdoor spigots—receives treated water. The unit typically combines a sediment pre-filter, a catalytic carbon or KDF media tank for chemical and chlorine removal, and a final polishing or UV stage that targets bacteria and viruses. As water passes through each stage, sediments are trapped, chemicals such as chlorine and chloramines are adsorbed, and microorganisms are neutralized, delivering clean, great-tasting water to every fixture.
Why is water purification especially important for homes in Cowan?
Cowan’s municipal supply meets safety standards, but many residents notice high chlorine levels, dissolved minerals, and occasional taste or odor issues caused by aging distribution pipes. Rural properties on well water often contend with iron, sulfur, and microbial contaminants. A whole-house purification system shields plumbing and appliances from scale, improves taste and odor, safeguards skin and hair from drying chlorine, and adds an extra layer of protection for immunocompromised family members.
Which contaminants will your purification systems remove?
Our customizable systems target a broad spectrum of impurities, including: • Sediment, rust, and silt down to 5 microns • Chlorine, chloramines, and disinfection by-products (THMs) • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and pesticides common in agricultural runoff • Heavy metals such as lead and mercury • Excess hardness minerals that cause scale • Hydrogen sulfide (rotten-egg odor) and iron that discolor fixtures • Bacteria, viruses, and cysts when a UV or ultrafiltration stage is included. We conduct a free on-site water test to match the media blend and filtration stages to your home’s exact water chemistry.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my household routine?
Most standard installations in Cowan can be completed in four to six hours. Our licensed plumbers shut off the main supply, add a bypass loop, mount the filtration tanks, and pressurize the system. Water is typically off for less than 60 minutes. We schedule appointments at your convenience, lay protective floor coverings, and clean the workspace thoroughly, so the disruption to your daily activities is minimal.
What maintenance is required and how often?
Maintenance is straightforward: • Sediment pre-filters are replaced every 6–12 months. • The carbon or KDF media tank lasts 5–10 years before re-bedding. • UV lamps (if installed) are swapped annually. • A softening resin (if included) requires salt top-ups every 4–6 weeks. We offer an affordable service plan that reminds you of upcoming changes and includes annual system checkups to keep your warranty intact.
How much does a whole-house water purification system cost and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on water quality, flow rate, and add-ons like UV or softening. Most Cowan homeowners invest between $2,200 and $4,800, which includes equipment, professional installation, and a five-year parts and labor warranty. We partner with trusted lenders to provide 0% promotional financing for up to 18 months or low-interest plans spread over 3–7 years, making clean water affordable for almost any budget.
