FAQs
What is a water profile and why does it matter for Kodak homes?
A water profile is a detailed analysis of the minerals, hardness, pH, and potential contaminants present in your tap water. Kodak’s municipal supply is generally safe, but it often contains moderate hardness (calcium and magnesium), trace chlorine, and occasional sediment picked up from aging distribution lines. Knowing your precise water profile lets us recommend the correct purification and conditioning equipment so you get cleaner, better-tasting water while protecting plumbing fixtures from scale and corrosion.
Why should I invest in a water purification system if my city water is already treated?
City treatment focuses on disinfection and basic safety, not on taste, odor, or appliance protection. Kodak’s water can still carry chlorine by-products, dissolved metals, micro-sediment, and hard-water minerals that leave spots, dull laundry colors, and shorten the life of water-using appliances. A point-of-entry or point-of-use purification system removes or greatly reduces these substances, giving you bottle-quality water at every tap and minimizing maintenance costs on plumbing and appliances.
What purification technologies do you offer, and which one is best for my situation?
We install multi-stage solutions that may include sediment pre-filters, activated carbon, water softeners, reverse osmosis (RO), and ultraviolet (UV) sterilizers. • Carbon filters remove chlorine, tastes, and odors. • Softeners exchange hardness minerals for sodium or potassium to prevent scale. • RO units strip out up to 99% of dissolved solids and heavy metals. • UV light neutralizes bacteria and viruses. The best setup depends on your water profile, household size, and desired water quality. Many Kodak homeowners choose a whole-house softener paired with an under-sink RO system for drinking and cooking water.
How is the right system selected for my home or business?
First, we perform an on-site water test that measures hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, iron, manganese, chlorine, and bacteria (if needed). We also evaluate incoming water pressure, flow rate, and plumbing layout. Based on the data and your usage patterns, we propose a customized system sized for peak demand, regeneration frequency, and future expansion. A written quote details equipment, installation steps, warranties, and estimated operating costs so you can make an informed decision.
How often will my water purification equipment need maintenance or filter changes?
Maintenance varies by component: • Sediment and carbon cartridges: replace every 6–12 months, depending on water usage and sediment load. • Water softener resin: lasts 10–15 years; add salt pellets every 4–8 weeks. • RO membranes: replace every 2–3 years, with pre-filters changed twice annually. • UV lamps: swap once a year to maintain germicidal strength. We offer affordable service plans that include scheduled filter shipments, annual system check-ups, and 24/7 support for unexpected issues.
Will installing purification equipment reduce water pressure or require plumbing changes?
When properly sized, most systems have minimal impact on household water pressure. Whole-house units are plumbed into the main supply line, typically adding less than 5 psi of pressure drop. Under-sink RO units feed a separate faucet, so normal tap flow remains unchanged. Our licensed plumbers review your layout, bypass valves, and drain options to ensure code compliance and convenient servicing. Any necessary plumbing modifications are included in your installation quote, and all work is backed by warranty.
