FAQs
Why is whole-house water filtration important for homes in Delano?
Delano’s municipal and well water often pick up sediment from aging pipes, agricultural runoff from surrounding fields, and naturally occurring minerals that cause hardness. A point-of-entry (whole-house) filtration system treats every drop before it reaches a faucet or appliance, so your family bathes, cooks, and launders with cleaner, better-tasting water while protecting plumbing, water heaters, and fixtures from scale and corrosion.
What specific contaminants can your Delano whole-house system remove?
Our multi-stage design starts with a 5-micron sediment pre-filter that strains sand, rust, and silt. Water then flows through catalytic activated carbon and KDF media that target chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and troublesome tastes and odors common in farm communities. An optional integrated softening tank exchanges hard-water minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and add-on UV or PFAS cartridges are available for well users or homes with special concerns. All media are NSF/ANSI 42, 53, and 61 certified.
How is a point-of-entry filtration system installed, and will it require changes to my plumbing?
A licensed plumber mounts the filter tanks on a bypass loop near your home’s main shut-off valve—usually in the garage or a weather-protected side yard. The job takes 3–6 hours and involves cutting a small section of the incoming line, attaching unions, and running a drain line if a softener or back-washing carbon tank is included. No walls are opened, and the system is sized to match your pipe diameter (¾ʺ or 1ʺ) so existing fixtures and appliances continue to operate normally.
How much maintenance does the system need and what does it cost?
Upkeep is straightforward: replace the sediment cartridge every 6-12 months ($20-$40) and renew the carbon media every 5-7 years ($300-$600, depending on water usage). If you add a softener, plan on one 40-lb bag of salt each month per four-person household. We offer an affordable annual service plan that includes water testing, cartridge changes, and warranty checks; many homeowners also handle the quick-change cartridges themselves with basic tools.
Will a whole-house filtration system reduce my water pressure or increase my utility bills?
A properly sized system causes only a 2-5 psi pressure drop—imperceptible for showers, sprinklers, and washing machines. Standard filtration units are non-electric and therefore add nothing to your power bill; optional UV disinfection draws about the same electricity as a 40-watt lightbulb. In fact, most customers see long-term savings because cleaner water extends the life of water heaters, ice makers, coffee machines, and plumbing fixtures.
Is your Delano water purification system covered by a warranty and can it handle future water quality changes?
Yes. Tanks and housings carry a lifetime warranty, and the electronic control valve (if installed) is protected for 10 years. We provide one year of complimentary service and water testing so you can track performance. The system is modular, so you can add UV, softening, or specialty cartridges later if Delano’s water quality standards change. All components meet or exceed local building codes, and permits are handled by our team.
