FAQs
What types of water filtration systems do you install for Jefferson City homeowners?
We design and install point-of-use (under-sink) reverse-osmosis units, whole-house carbon filtration systems, water softeners, sediment pre-filters, and UV disinfection lamps. Each system targets a different group of contaminants—RO removes dissolved solids and heavy metals, carbon tackles chlorine, tastes, and odors, softeners address hardness minerals, and UV neutralizes bacteria. We often combine two or more technologies to give customers a customized solution that matches Jefferson City’s municipal water profile and any private-well concerns.
How can I tell which purification system is right for my water quality?
The first step is a lab-certified water test. We collect samples from your kitchen tap and, if applicable, outside spigots or a well. The analysis identifies chlorine levels, hardness, pH, iron, manganese, lead, nitrates, and microbial activity. Once we have the report, we sit down with you to explain the results in plain language and recommend equipment sized for your home’s flow rate and the specific contaminants present. This data-driven approach prevents over- or under-treating your water and ensures you get the best long-term value.
Will a whole-house filtration system also soften my water and prevent scale buildup?
A standard carbon filtration system removes chemicals but does not reduce hardness. If you want scale prevention, we can integrate a traditional ion-exchange water softener or a salt-free conditioning unit right after the carbon filter. This tandem setup not only gives you chlorine-free water at every fixture but also protects water heaters, dishwashers, and plumbing lines from mineral buildup that is common in Jefferson City’s moderately hard water.
How often do filters, membranes, and lamps need to be replaced, and do you offer service plans?
Service intervals depend on water quality and usage. Sediment and carbon cartridges typically last 6–12 months, RO membranes 2–3 years, and UV lamps 12 months. We label each system with recommended change dates and offer flexible maintenance plans that include annual testing, filter changes, and a multipoint inspection. Our technicians track your schedule and call ahead to set a convenient appointment, so you never have to guess when it’s time for service.
Can I install a filtration system myself, or is professional installation required?
Some countertop and refrigerator filters are DIY-friendly, but whole-house and reverse-osmosis systems require precise plumbing connections, pressure checks, and in the case of RO, proper drain-line air gaps. Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, mold growth, or reduced system life. Our licensed plumbers secure permits if needed, follow local Jefferson City and Missouri plumbing codes, and test each unit for flow rate and leaks before we leave. Professional installation protects your warranty and provides peace of mind.
Do your systems remove contaminants specific to Jefferson City’s water supply?
Yes. The city’s water, drawn primarily from the Missouri River, is disinfected with chloramines and can contain trace amounts of agricultural runoff, hardness minerals, and seasonal taste-and-odor compounds. Our carbon filters are certified to remove chlorine/chloramine, while RO membranes eliminate nitrates, lead, and heavy metals. If tests show elevated hardness, we include a softener or conditioner. Because water quality can vary across neighborhoods and between municipal and private wells, we customize each system rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
