FAQs
What contaminants does your advanced purification technology remove from Flintville’s water?
Our multi-stage system targets the specific challenges found in Flintville’s municipal and well water supplies. It removes up to 99% of lead, chlorine, chloramines, PFAS ( "forever chemicals"), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, micro-plastics, and reduces hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Laboratory validation tests meet NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, 58, and 401 for contaminant reduction.
How does the system differ from a standard carbon filter or water softener?
Traditional carbon filters primarily improve taste and odor, while a softener only exchanges hardness minerals for sodium or potassium. Our technology combines: • A catalytic activated-carbon block for chemical adsorption • A proprietary ion-exchange resin for lead, PFAS, and heavy-metal capture • Ultrafiltration with 0.02-micron pores to physically block bacteria and micro-plastics • Optional reverse-osmosis polishing for ultra-pure drinking water at a dedicated faucet • A smart flow sensor that adjusts treatment rates to your household’s demand, maximizing efficiency and extending media life
Is the system certified and safe for my family?
Yes. All wetted components are certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for material safety. The complete unit has performance certifications under NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 58, and 401, plus independent testing for PFAS reduction. Components are BPA-free, lead-free, and constructed in an ISO 9001 facility. Every unit is pressure-tested to 300 psi—well above Flintville’s typical service pressure of 60–80 psi.
What does installation involve and how long does it take?
For a whole-home configuration, our licensed Flintville plumbers install the system on your main water line, typically where it enters the basement or utility room. The procedure includes a bypass loop, shut-off valves, and a pressure regulator if needed. Most homes require 3–4 hours with water service interrupted for only about 30 minutes. If you choose the drinking-water RO module, we mount a compact tank under the kitchen sink and drill a discrete hole for the dedicated faucet.
How often will I need maintenance and how much does it cost?
Maintenance is straightforward: • Pre-filter cartridge: replace every 6–12 months (about $30). • Carbon/ion-exchange media: replace every 3 years or 300,000 gallons, whichever comes first (about $280 including media and service). • RO membrane (if installed): replace every 2–4 years ($90). • Annual inspection & water test: $79. The smart controller sends email or SMS reminders and tracks real-time flow, so you never guess when service is due.
What environmental benefits does this system offer compared with bottled water or conventional RO units?
By purifying water at the point of entry, you eliminate an estimated 2,000 single-use plastic bottles per household each year. The system operates at a 1:1 recovery ratio—meaning for every gallon of purified water, only one gallon becomes waste—compared with the 4:1 or 5:1 waste ratios of conventional reverse-osmosis units. Media cartridges are 100% recyclable through our take-back program, and the system draws less than 5 watts in standby mode.
