FAQs
Why should Hixson homeowners consider a water purification system?
Although Hixsonâs municipal water meets federal safety standards, it can still contain chlorine, hardness minerals, sediment, and trace contaminants that affect taste, odor, and appliance life. A dedicated purification system provides an extra layer of protection, delivering better-tasting water from every tap, reducing scale buildup in plumbing, and safeguarding sensitive family members with allergies or weakened immune systems.
What types of contaminants can your systems remove from Tennessee tap water?
Our multi-stage systems are designed for the specific water profile in the ChattanoogaâHixson area. Depending on the configuration, they can reduce or remove chlorine and chloramines, sediment, sand, rust, excess hardness (calcium and magnesium), lead, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, sulfur (rotten-egg smell), and up to 99% of bacteria and cysts. We start with a complimentary in-home test to identify which contaminants are present and tailor the equipment accordingly.
How does a whole-house water filtration system work?
Most installations combine several technologies: 1) a sediment pre-filter to catch sand and rust, 2) a granular activated carbon (GAC) or catalytic carbon tank to absorb chlorine, chemicals, and bad tastes, 3) an optional water softener or salt-free conditioner to tackle hardness, and 4) UV or reverse osmosis (RO) for microbiological safety or drinking-water purity. Water flows through each stage sequentially, so every fixture in the house receives clean, conditioned water without a drop in pressure youâll notice.
How often will I need to service or replace the filters?
Service intervals depend on water usage and quality, but most Hixson families schedule annual maintenance. Sediment cartridges are typically swapped every 6â12 months, carbon media lasts 3â5 years, softener resin is regenerated automatically with salt but can last a decade or more, and UV lamps are replaced yearly. We offer maintenance plans that include reminders, on-site service, and discounted replacement parts to keep upkeep simple and affordable.
Will water purification really improve the taste and smell of my water?
Yes. Chlorine and sulfur compounds are the two biggest contributors to off-putting tastes and odors in local water. Our carbon and catalytic media remove these chemicals, while softening or RO treatments eliminate metallic or mineral aftertastes. Customers consistently report a noticeable improvement not only in drinking water but also in coffee, tea, soups, and even ice cubes within the first day of installation.
Are your systems certified, and do you offer installation warranties?
All core components we install carry NSF/ANSI certifications for their specific contaminant reduction claims. Our licensed Tennessee plumbing technicians handle the entire installation, pull any required permits, and pressure-test your plumbing. Every system comes with a manufacturerâs warranty of 5â10 years on tanks and valves, plus our own 1-year labor warranty. Extended service agreements are available for long-term peace of mind.
