FAQs
What water quality issues in Friendsville does your purification system address?
Our multi-stage purification units are engineered to tackle the most common local concerns—excess iron and manganese from well sources, chlorine/chloramine from municipal supplies, sediment, unpleasant sulfur odors, and microbial contaminants such as bacteria or cysts. Laboratory testing and on-site water analysis let us tailor the media and filter sequence so the final water meets or exceeds EPA drinking-water standards.
How does the purification technology actually work?
We combine mechanical filtration, catalytic carbon adsorption, ion exchange, and optional ultraviolet sterilization in a single, compact skid. First, a 5-micron sediment pre-filter removes rust and sand. Water then passes through a catalytic carbon block that de-chlorinates and strips organic chemicals. An ion-exchange softening cartridge swaps hardness minerals (calcium, magnesium) for sodium or potassium. Finally, an in-line UV lamp delivers a 40 mJ/cm² dose to inactivate bacteria and viruses. The stages are modular, so we can add RO membranes if you need ultra-pure water for ice makers or medical devices.
Will installing the system disrupt my household plumbing?
Installation usually takes 3–5 hours. We place the equipment where the main water line enters your home—often in a basement or utility room—so your existing fixtures remain untouched. Water is shut off for roughly 30 minutes while we cut into the line, add bypass valves, and pressure-test new connections. Our technicians always leave the workspace clean and provide a quick tutorial before leaving.
What kind of maintenance is required after installation?
Typical upkeep is minimal: replace the sediment filter every 6–12 months, regenerate the ion-exchange resin with salt or potassium pellets once per month (automated in most models), and swap the carbon block annually. The UV lamp and sleeve are changed every 12 months. We offer an affordable service plan that includes reminders, replacement parts, and a yearly water-quality check to verify performance.
Is the system safe and certified?
Yes. All wetted components are NSF/ANSI 61 certified for material safety. Our carbon and ion-exchange cartridges meet NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for aesthetic and health contaminant reduction, while the UV reactor complies with NSF/ANSI 55 Class B for microbiological treatment. We are licensed Maryland plumbers and carry full liability insurance, and every installation comes with a 5-year parts & labor warranty plus manufacturer documentation.
How much does a complete water purification setup cost in Friendsville?
Pricing depends on flow rate, water chemistry, and chosen add-ons. A standard whole-house package (sediment + carbon + softener) for a 3-bath home starts around $1,850 installed. Adding UV sterilization raises it to about $2,400, and a reverse-osmosis drinking station adds $450–$650. Financing is available with payments as low as $49 per month, and all quotes include water testing, equipment, professional installation, and first-year maintenance.
