FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-home water purification system in Etowah?
Many Etowah homes draw from municipal sources fed by the Hiwassee and Tennessee River basins, which can carry sediment, chlorine, agricultural run-off, and occasional hard-water minerals. A whole-home purifier treats every tap, protecting plumbing fixtures, improving taste and odor, and safeguarding family members with sensitive skin or immune systems. It also eliminates the need for countertop filters or bottled water, reducing plastic waste.
What contaminants does your purification solution remove?
Our multi-stage system targets the most common impurities found in Etowah water: • Sediment (sand, rust, silt) captured by a 5-micron pre-filter. • Chlorine, chloramines, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) absorbed by catalytic activated carbon. • Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and chromium removed by a KDF media bed. • Hard-water minerals (calcium, magnesium) optionally reduced with a salt-free conditioner or traditional softener add-on. • Microbial threats (cysts, bacteria, viruses) neutralized by an optional UV sterilizer. Independent lab tests confirm up to 99% reduction of regulated contaminants.
Will installation disrupt my existing plumbing or lower water pressure?
Installation takes 2–4 hours for most residences. The system is plumbed into the main water line—usually in the garage or crawl space—so no walls need to be opened. We include full-port bypass valves for easy servicing. Properly sized units maintain a flow rate of 12 –15 gallons per minute, which is more than adequate for simultaneous shower, laundry, and dishwasher use. If your home has unusually high demand, our technicians will size a larger unit or install parallel tanks to preserve pressure.
How often do the filters or membranes need maintenance?
Service intervals depend on water usage and source quality, but typical schedules are: • Sediment pre-filter: replace every 6–9 months. • Carbon/KDF media: change every 3–5 years. • UV lamp (if installed): replace annually. • Salt-free conditioner core: 6 years or 600,000 gallons. A built-in pressure gauge and optional smart monitor alert you when flow drops, indicating filter saturation. We offer affordable maintenance plans so you never have to track dates yourself.
Is the system environmentally friendly and cost-effective?
Yes. By eliminating single-use plastic bottles, a household of four can keep about 2,000 bottles out of landfills each year. The salt-free conditioning option uses no electricity, discharges no brine, and retains healthy minerals, lowering your footprint. Operating costs average $0.06–$0.10 per treated gallon—far less than bottled water—and most homeowners see a return on investment within 3–4 years through reduced appliance scale damage and longer plumbing life.
Do you provide water testing, warranties, and ongoing support?
Absolutely. We start with a complimentary on-site water analysis to identify specific contaminants. All systems carry a 10-year tank and valve warranty, a 5-year warranty on electronic components, and a 1-year labor guarantee. Optional extended coverage is available. Our Etowah-based team offers 24/7 phone support, annual tune-ups, filter subscriptions, and emergency service so your water stays purified year-round.
