FAQs

How does a whole-house carbon filtration system work and what contaminants does it remove?

Our system routes all the water entering your Grandview home through a high-capacity activated carbon tank. The porous carbon media adsorbs chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, herbicides, industrial solvents (VOC’s), and many bad-tasting or foul-smelling organic compounds. By treating water at the main line, every faucet, shower, and appliance receives cleaner, better-tasting water without relying on point-of-use filters.

Why is carbon filtration especially beneficial for Grandview residents?

Grandview’s municipal supply meets federal safety standards, but it is disinfected with chlorine and may pick up trace farm-runoff chemicals on the way to your tap. These substances can give water an unpleasant taste or odor and can dry out skin and hair. A whole-house carbon filter removes these additives, delivering fresh, neutral-tasting water throughout your home while protecting plumbing fixtures from chemical wear.

Will installing a whole-house carbon filter reduce my water pressure?

No. The system is engineered for full-flow performance, using 1" or larger ports and low-restriction media. When sized correctly for your home’s demand, the pressure drop is typically less than 3–5 psi—imperceptible under normal household use. Our technicians measure your incoming pressure during the site visit to ensure you receive a properly matched unit.

How often does the carbon media need to be replaced and what maintenance is required?

For most Grandview households the carbon bed lasts 5–7 years, or roughly 600,000–1,000,000 gallons, before replacement is needed. The tank is sealed, so routine maintenance is minimal: an annual inspection and a simple sediment pre-filter change every 6–12 months. When the carbon is exhausted, we swap the media in about an hour without cutting pipes or replacing the whole tank.

What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?

After a no-cost water analysis and plumbing survey, we schedule a convenient installation date. A typical retrofit in an unfinished basement or utility room takes 2–3 hours: we shut off the main, cut in a bypass loop, set the tank on a level pad, and connect the inlet/outlet lines. Your water is off for only 20–30 minutes, and we completely flush and test the system before leaving.

Are the systems certified and what warranty do you provide?

Yes. Our carbon units carry NSF/ANSI Standard 42 certification for chlorine, taste, and odor reduction. Tanks and control valves are warrantied for 10 years, and the carbon media is warrantied for performance through its rated service life. We also include a one-year labor guarantee on all workmanship—if anything needs adjusting, we return at no charge.
