FAQs
What water quality problems are most common in Fountain City, and can your purification systems solve them?
Fountain City’s municipal and well-water supplies often contain hard minerals (calcium and magnesium), chlorine or chloramine disinfectants, sediment, and traces of agricultural or industrial runoff such as nitrates or VOCs. Our purification solutions—including water softeners, multi-stage carbon filters, and reverse-osmosis (RO) systems—remove hardness, neutralize chlorine taste and odor, trap sediment down to 5 microns, and reduce up to 99 % of dissolved contaminants. For homeowners relying on private wells, we can also integrate UV disinfection to safeguard against bacteria and viruses.
Which types of water purification equipment do you install?
We offer a full line of residential and light-commercial equipment: • Whole-house carbon filtration systems for taste, odor, and chemical reduction. • Water softeners that use ion-exchange resin to eliminate hardness scaling. • Reverse-osmosis drinking-water units with 3–5 filtration stages for ultra-pure water at the kitchen tap or refrigerator. • UV (ultraviolet) sterilizers that neutralize microorganisms without chemicals. • Specialty filters for iron, sulfur, manganese, or sediment when local water tests indicate a need. Each system is sized to your plumbing layout and peak flow rate so performance never suffers when multiple fixtures are running.
How do I know which purification system is right for my home?
We start with a complimentary on-site water analysis, checking hardness, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), chlorine, iron, and bacterial presence. We also review your household size, plumbing configuration, and water-usage patterns. Using these data points, our licensed plumber designs a custom solution—often a combination of softening plus point-of-use RO—so you avoid over- or under-sizing equipment and only pay for features you truly need.
What routine maintenance will my new system require?
Maintenance is simple and low-cost: • Whole-house carbon tanks: media replacement every 5–7 years. • Water softeners: add solar salt pellets as needed (usually once a month) and schedule a resin bed check every 2–3 years. • RO systems: change pre-filters every 6–12 months, the RO membrane every 2–3 years, and sanitize the storage tank annually. • UV lamps: swap bulbs yearly and clean the quartz sleeve. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include filter deliveries, annual performance testing, and emergency service if pressure drops or leaks occur.
How much does a water purification system cost, and do you provide financing?
Installed pricing in Fountain City typically ranges from $800–$1,500 for a whole-house carbon filter, $1,200–$2,400 for a high-efficiency softener, and $450–$850 for a point-of-use RO unit. Comprehensive packages that combine softening, RO, and UV protection generally run $2,500–$4,000 depending on flow rates and water conditions. To make budgeting easy, we partner with local lenders to offer 0 % APR financing for 6 or 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months, all with quick on-line approval.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my water service?
Most single-component installations—such as a water softener or RO unit—are completed in 2–4 hours. A full whole-house system with multiple components may take one working day. We shut your main water supply only during final tie-in (usually 30–45 minutes) to minimize downtime. Our technicians protect floors, clean up work areas, and walk you through system operation before leaving, so you enjoy fresh, great-tasting water immediately.
