FAQs
What common water quality issues in Kingston can advanced filtration solve?
Kingston’s municipal and well-water supplies can contain hardness minerals, chlorine by-products, sediment, micro-organisms, and trace metals such as lead and iron. Our multi-stage filtration systems are engineered to remove or significantly reduce these contaminants, delivering water that tastes better, is safer for cooking and drinking, and is gentler on plumbing fixtures and appliances.
Which filtration technologies do you offer and how do they work?
We design systems using a combination of sediment pre-filters, activated carbon blocks, KDF media, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, and optional UV disinfection. Sediment filters trap dirt and rust down to 1–5 microns. Carbon and KDF media adsorb chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, and heavy metals. The RO membrane removes dissolved solids—including salts, fluoride, and lead—at the molecular level. A final UV stage inactivates bacteria and viruses, giving you comprehensive protection from chemical and biological contaminants.
Do I need professional installation, or can I install the system myself?
Whole-home and under-sink RO systems require precise sizing, pressure regulation, sanitary handling of RO membranes, and tying into your existing plumbing without creating cross-connections. Our licensed Kingston plumbers ensure the system meets Ontario Building Code requirements, pressure-test all joints, adjust flow restrictors, and program smart monitoring devices. While some countertop units are DIY-friendly, professional installation maximizes performance, safeguards your warranty, and protects against leaks.
How often do filters and membranes need to be replaced?
Replacement intervals depend on your water quality and household usage. In Kingston, sediment and carbon pre-filters usually last 6–12 months, RO membranes 24–36 months, and UV lamps 9,000–10,000 hours (about one year of continuous use). We include a water quality test at installation and offer reminder notifications and maintenance plans to ensure your system continues to operate at peak efficiency.
Are your systems certified and compliant with local regulations?
Yes. All major components carry NSF/ANSI certifications (Standard 42 for chlorine reduction, 53 for lead and VOC removal, 58 for RO units, and 55 for UV). Our installation work is performed by fully insured, licensed plumbers who follow the Ontario Plumbing Code and obtain any required municipal permits. We also register applicable devices with Utilities Kingston for backflow prevention compliance.
What is the typical cost and are rebates or financing available?
Under-sink RO systems start around $600–$900 installed, while whole-home multi-stage systems range from $2,000 to $4,500 depending on flow rate, media type, and optional smart monitoring. We provide free on-site water assessments and written quotes. Zero-interest financing over 12 to 24 months is available, and residents connected to Utilities Kingston may qualify for seasonal water conservation rebates on high-efficiency fixtures installed alongside your filtration system.
