FAQs
What common water quality issues do Delano homeowners face, and how can your custom purification systems help?
Delano’s municipal and well-water sources sometimes contain hard-water minerals (calcium and magnesium), elevated nitrate levels from agricultural runoff, and occasional traces of pesticides. Our custom solutions begin with an on-site water analysis, then we design a multi-stage system—typically sediment pre-filtration, specialized carbon blocks for chemical and pesticide removal, a high-capacity softener or anti-scale conditioner, and, when needed, reverse osmosis (RO) or UV disinfection. This tailored approach targets the exact contaminants identified in your Delano water report, ensuring safer, better-tasting water at every tap.
How is a custom water-purification system different from an off-the-shelf filter I can buy at a big-box store?
Off-the-shelf filters are designed for general use and treat only a narrow band of contaminants—usually chlorine taste and odor. Our custom systems are built around your specific water chemistry, usage patterns, plumbing layout, and household size. We select NSF-certified components, size the tanks and membranes appropriately, integrate pressure-regulating valves to protect your plumbing, and provide a single control panel for easy monitoring. The result is higher contaminant removal rates, longer service life, and seamless integration with your existing plumbing.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
After the initial water test and system design approval, we schedule a convenient installation date. A typical whole-home system takes 4–6 hours: (1) isolate the main water line and install a bypass; (2) mount pre-filters, softener/conditioner, RO unit, or UV lamp in a clean, accessible location; (3) connect inlet/outlet piping and dedicated RO faucet if requested; (4) sanitize, pressurize, and leak-test; (5) program control valves and flush the media. We clean the work area, review the operating guide with you, and leave a copy of the lab-certified post-installation test results.
How much does a custom water-purification system typically cost in Delano?
Pricing depends on water quality, flow rate requirements, and technology choices. Most single-family homes in Delano spend $1,500–$2,800 for a softener-plus-carbon combo, $2,800–$4,500 for a whole-home carbon/softener + point-of-use RO, and $4,500–$6,500 for premium multi-stage systems with UV and smart monitoring. We provide an upfront, itemized quote that includes equipment, installation, one-year labor warranty, and the first year of service visits—no hidden fees.
What maintenance is required, and do you offer service plans?
Routine maintenance is straightforward: sediment/carbon pre-filters every 6–12 months, softener salt or potassium pellets every 4–8 weeks, and RO membrane replacement every 2–3 years, depending on usage. UV lamps are changed annually. We offer tiered service plans—Bronze (annual inspection), Silver (inspection + filter changes), and Gold (full care including salt delivery, membrane, UV, and performance testing). Plans start at $12/month and ensure consistent water quality while protecting your warranty.
Is your system environmentally friendly, and what about water waste?
Yes. We prioritize high-efficiency softeners that regenerate based on demand rather than timer, reducing salt and water usage by up to 40%. Our latest RO modules recover up to 75% of input water, and we can route the small RO reject stream to landscape irrigation where local codes allow. All media and filters are responsibly recycled through our partnered facilities. By delivering clean water at the tap, families reduce reliance on single-use plastic bottles, cutting household plastic waste by hundreds of pounds each year.
