FAQs
Why should I choose an under-sink water filter for my home in Gruetli-Laager instead of a countertop pitcher or whole-house system?
Under-sink systems treat only the cold-water line feeding the dedicated drinking faucet, so every glass you pour is freshly purified without taking up counter space. They cost far less than whole-house units yet remove far more contaminants than most pitcher filters. In Gruetli-Laager, where residents often rely on private wells or municipal supplies high in hardness and sediment, an under-sink system delivers targeted protection and better taste right where you need it—at the kitchen sink—while keeping installation and ongoing maintenance simple and affordable.
What contaminants common to Gruetli-Laager’s water sources will this filter remove?
Our multi-stage cartridges are certified to NSF/ANSI 42, 53, and 401 standards and are engineered to reduce sediment, chlorine, sulfur (rotten-egg odor), lead, mercury, VOCs, cysts (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), PFOA/PFOS, and many prescription-drug residues sometimes detected in regional well testing. If you have iron or manganese staining, an optional pre-filter can be added. We always start with a free water test so the final cartridge mix directly targets the chemistry of your home’s supply.
How long does professional installation take, and will it damage my cabinet or plumbing?
A typical under-sink filter installation in Gruetli-Laager takes 60–90 minutes. Our licensed plumbers drill a 7⁄16-inch hole in your stainless-steel or composite sink deck (or use an existing sprayer hole) for the dedicated faucet, mount the filter bracket to the cabinet wall, and tie the system into the cold-water shut-off with a compression tee. We use quick-connect fittings, so there’s no soldering, no PVC cement odors, and zero structural changes to your cabinet. When we leave, the only visible change is the sleek filtered-water faucet beside your main tap.
How often will I need to change the filters, and what do replacements cost?
On average, cartridges last 6–12 months or 750–1,000 gallons, depending on your water quality and household size. For most Gruetli-Laager families that works out to one annual service visit. Replacement kits range from $55 for a two-stage carbon block set to about $120 for a four-stage RO membrane bundle. We offer an optional filter subscription that ships cartridges to your door with text reminders so you never forget—and we’ll recycle the used elements for you at no charge.
Will an under-sink filter reduce my water pressure or flow rate?
A properly sized system will deliver 0.5–0.8 gallons per minute—enough to fill a 16-oz glass in 10–15 seconds. While this is slightly slower than your unfiltered cold-water line, it ensures optimal contact time for contaminant removal. If you choose a reverse-osmosis (RO) model, we include a 3-gallon pressurized storage tank so you still get steady flow even during peak kitchen use. Our technician measures your supply pressure and can add a booster pump if levels are below 40 psi.
Can I install the unit myself, or should I hire a professional plumber?
Handy homeowners can install basic two-stage filters with common tools, but many Gruetli-Laager residents prefer professional service to ensure leak-free connections, code compliance, and warranty protection. Local regulations require that any connection to the potable line include an ASSE-listed shut-off valve, and most manufacturers extend their warranty only when a licensed installer signs the completion card. We back our installation with a 3-year labor warranty and provide the paperwork you need if you ever sell your home.
