FAQs
What makes your eco-friendly water softeners different from traditional salt-based systems?
Our systems rely on advanced template-assisted crystallization (TAC) media that change hardness minerals into harmless micro-crystals rather than removing them with salt. This means no brine discharge, zero added sodium in your drinking water, lower water usage for regeneration, and far less environmental impact than conventional ion-exchange softeners.
Why are water softeners and purification important for homes and businesses in Evensville?
Evensville’s municipal and well water often test high for dissolved calcium, magnesium, and iron, which leave scale on fixtures, clog appliances, and reduce water heater efficiency. Local groundwater can also contain sediment, chlorine by-products, and agricultural runoff. Installing a combined softening and purification system extends the life of plumbing, lowers energy bills, improves taste, and protects your family from potential contaminants.
What contaminants does the purification side of the system remove?
In addition to preventing hardness scale, our multi-stage filters target sediment down to 5 microns, reduce chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, pesticides, herbicides, and unpleasant tastes or odors. An optional activated carbon/UV module provides up to 99.99 % disinfection of bacteria and viruses, making the water safe for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
How much water and energy can I save with an eco-friendly softener?
Because TAC media never requires backwashing with salt brine, you can save up to 7,000 gallons of water per year compared with a typical 40,000-grain ion-exchange unit. Eliminating the regeneration cycle also reduces electricity use and extends septic-system life, while the scale-free pipes and appliances can improve water-heater efficiency by 20 % or more.
What maintenance is required and how long does the system last?
Routine upkeep is minimal. Replace the sediment pre-filter cartridge every 6–12 months and the carbon block every 12–18 months, depending on usage. The TAC softening media itself is warrantied for 6–8 years, often lasting a decade before replacement. No salt bags, drain-line inspections, or brine tank cleaning are necessary.
Can you handle installation, and what is the typical timeline for Evensville residents?
Yes. Our licensed, insured plumbers provide full-service installation, including a site assessment, equipment sizing, and any code-required permits for Evensville and Rhea County. Most residential projects take 3–4 hours, while light-commercial systems may require a full day. We’ll schedule a follow-up water test two weeks after start-up to verify performance.
