FAQs

What types of water purification systems do your licensed technicians install in Hillsboro?

Our technicians are certified to install a full range of residential and light-commercial systems, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water units, water softeners for hardness reduction, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, and combination systems tailored to address multiple water quality issues common in the Hillsboro area, such as iron, manganese, and chlorine by-products.

How do I know which purification system is right for my Hillsboro home?

We start with a complimentary on-site water analysis that checks pH, hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), chlorine, iron, bacteria, and other locally relevant contaminants. After reviewing the results and discussing household usage, our licensed plumber will recommend the most effective and cost-efficient solution, explain its operation, and provide a transparent quote before any work begins.

Are permits or inspections required for installing a water purification system in Hillsboro?

Most point-of-use devices (like under-sink RO units) do not require city permits, but whole-house systems that tie into the main plumbing line often do. Our team handles all permitting with the City of Hillsboro Building Department, schedules any necessary inspections, and ensures the installation meets Oregon Plumbing Specialty Code and local backflow prevention requirements.

How long does installation take, and will my water be shut off?

Typical under-sink RO or UV installations take 2–3 hours, while whole-house filtration or softening systems usually require 4–6 hours. Your water is only shut off during the final tie-in, generally 20–30 minutes. We coordinate the timing with you to minimize disruption and restore full service before leaving the job site.

What kind of maintenance do water purification systems need?

Maintenance varies by system: RO membranes last 2–3 years, but pre/post filters should be replaced every 6–12 months; whole-house carbon tanks need media replacement roughly every 5 years; water softeners require periodic salt refills and annual valve checks; UV lamps must be changed annually. We offer customizable maintenance plans and will remind you when service is due so performance and water quality stay optimal.

How much will a professionally installed water purification system cost in Hillsboro?

Costs depend on water conditions, system type, and flow requirements. On average, under-sink RO units range from $550 to $1,100 installed, whole-house carbon or softening systems from $1,600 to $3,200, and multi-stage combination units from $2,800 to $5,000. We provide upfront, itemized estimates, accept major credit cards and financing, and back every installation with a parts and labor warranty of at least one year.
