FAQs
Why would a home or business in Ducktown need a custom-designed water purification system?
Ducktown’s municipal and private well supplies can contain elevated levels of iron, sulfur, and mineral hardness because of the region’s natural geology and historic mining activity. A custom system allows us to target the exact contaminants found in your water test, rather than installing a generic filter that may not address local conditions. This approach delivers better taste, protects plumbing fixtures from scale, and ensures compliance with any specific health standards you may have.
What steps are involved in designing a custom water purification system for my property?
1) On-site assessment: Our technician collects water samples at key points (incoming main, kitchen tap, irrigation line). 2) Laboratory analysis: We test for pH, hardness, metals, bacteria, and any customer-requested parameters. 3) System specification: Based on results, we size and select treatment stages—e.g., sediment pre-filtration, water softener, catalytic carbon, UV disinfection, or reverse osmosis. 4) Plumbing layout: We design a loop that integrates with your existing supply, includes bypass valves, and meets Ducktown building codes. 5) Proposal & quote: You receive a detailed parts list, performance expectations, and cost breakdown. 6) Installation & commissioning: Certified plumbers install, flush, and verify system performance.
How much space and what utilities are required for installation?
Most residential systems fit within 4–6 ft² of floor area and require a nearby 120 V GFCI outlet for control valves or UV lamps, a drain connection for backwash/RO waste, and a minimum of 40 psi inlet pressure. Commercial systems may need larger tanks or rack-mounted modules; we provide exact footprint drawings before work begins. If space is limited, we can design vertical or wall-mounted configurations.
What ongoing maintenance should I expect?
Typical maintenance includes replacing sediment cartridges every 6–12 months, replenishing softener salt as needed, changing carbon or specialty media every 2–3 years, sanitizing UV chambers annually, and monitoring RO membranes for performance drops. We offer service plans that bundle all consumables, annual water re-testing, and emergency support so you don’t have to track each task yourself.
How long does the entire process—from water test to clean drinking water—usually take?
Turnaround is generally 2–4 weeks. Water sampling and lab results take about 5 business days. System design and quoting require another 2–3 days. Once you approve the proposal, we schedule installation within 7–10 days, subject to parts availability and city inspection slots. For urgent health or compliance issues, we can provide temporary filtration while the permanent system is assembled.
Are your systems certified and does installation affect my property value?
We source NSF/ANSI-certified components (e.g., Standard 42 for taste/odor, 53 for health contaminants, 58 for RO units). All work is performed by Tennessee-licensed plumbers and meets International Plumbing Code (IPC) and Ducktown ordinances. Properly documented treatment systems can enhance property value by assuring prospective buyers of water quality; we provide transfer manuals and performance history for real-estate transactions.
