FAQs
What contaminants will an under-sink water filter remove from Jacksboro’s municipal water?
Our multi-stage under-sink systems are engineered to target the issues most often found in Jacksboro tap water, including chlorine taste and odor, sediment, rust particles, lead from older plumbing, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), some pesticides, and cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Optional add-on stages can also reduce fluoride or soften moderately hard water. You’ll receive a laboratory test summary of local water so you can choose the cartridge set that best addresses the specific contaminants in your home.
How often do I need to replace the filter cartridges?
Most households in Jacksboro should expect to change the sediment and carbon cartridges every 6–12 months, depending on water usage and quality. A family of four using the kitchen sink for drinking, cooking, and ice typically hits 10,000–12,000 gallons in about a year. Specialty cartridges (lead, fluoride, VOC) can last 12–18 months. Your system includes a built-in flow meter and color-change indicator to alert you when capacity is reached, so you never have to guess.
Will installing an under-sink system reduce my water pressure or flow rate?
Properly sized systems maintain a steady 1.5–2.0 gallons per minute—fast enough to fill a cooking pot without frustration. Because the filter is dedicated to its own drinking-water faucet, your main kitchen faucet’s pressure remains unchanged. If you notice a drop in flow at the filtered faucet, it’s usually a sign that the pre-filter has captured its maximum sediment load and needs replacement, not a defect in the plumbing.
Can the same under-sink filter be used with well water in rural areas around Jacksboro?
Yes, but we’ll tailor the cartridge sequence after testing your well. Well water in Jack County can carry higher iron, manganese, or sulfur levels than city water, so we may recommend a pre-sediment stage followed by a KDF or iron/manganese cartridge before the carbon block. If bacteria are present, we’ll add an ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer under the sink. Our technicians will review test results and design a package to meet local Texas well-water standards.
Do I need a professional plumber, or can I install the system myself?
DIY-friendly kits are available and include push-fit fittings, flexible stainless tubing, and a hole saw for the dedicated faucet. Many homeowners complete installation in under 90 minutes with basic tools. However, if your countertop is granite or you’re uncomfortable shutting off the cold-water supply, we recommend professional installation. We offer flat-rate service in Jacksboro that covers drilling, mounting, pressure testing, and a five-year workmanship warranty.
What ongoing maintenance and costs should I expect?
Beyond cartridge changes, maintenance is minimal: check for drips at each annual filter change, sanitize the housings with the included food-grade solution, and replace O-rings every two years (provided in the kit). Replacement cartridges cost $45–$80 per set depending on options, averaging $6–$8 per month of operation. Choosing an under-sink filter is far less expensive and environmentally friendly than relying on bottled water, saving the average Jacksboro family over $300 per year.
