FAQs
Why should I install a whole-house water filtration system in Loudon?
Loudon’s municipal and well water can pick up sediment, chlorine, agricultural runoff, and hard-water minerals as it travels through older mains and local groundwater. A whole-house filter treats every drop as it enters your plumbing, so drinking, bathing, cooking, and laundry water are all purified. Benefits include better taste, reduced odors, protection for appliances from scale, and peace of mind that your family is protected from common contaminants.
What contaminants will your filtration systems remove?
Our multi-stage systems are designed to target the specific water quality issues found in Loudon. Standard configurations remove sediment down to 5 microns, chlorine and chloramine, VOCs, lead, iron, sulfur, and bacteria such as E. coli with optional UV sterilization. For private wells, we can add arsenic, nitrate, and manganese reduction media. A complimentary water test lets us customize the media mix for your home’s exact water profile.
How does the installation process work and how long does it take?
After a free on-site assessment, we schedule a convenient installation date. Our licensed Loudon plumbers typically install most whole-house systems in 4–6 hours. We shut off the main supply, cut in a bypass, mount the filtration tanks (often in the basement or garage), connect to existing plumbing, and purge the lines. Your water is off for roughly 30–60 minutes. Before leaving, we test the incoming and treated water so you can see the immediate improvement.
Will a whole-house filter reduce my water pressure?
Correctly sized equipment will not noticeably affect pressure. We select filter housings with high-flow cartridges or back-washing media that match your home’s peak demand. For larger homes, we can plumb units in parallel to maintain 12–15 gpm service flow. After installation, most customers see less than a 2 psi drop compared to pre-filter pressure.
What maintenance is required and what does it cost?
Maintenance depends on the configuration: 1) Sediment and carbon cartridges typically need replacement every 6–12 months and cost $40–$80 per set. 2) Back-washing carbon or catalytic media lasts 5–10 years; the system automatically cleans itself. 3) Water softener resin and UV lamps require service every 12 months. We offer an annual service plan that covers testing, cartridge swaps, UV lamp replacement, and system sanitization for a flat fee, so you never have to remember schedules.
Is a whole-house filtration system worth the investment compared to point-of-use filters?
Yes, especially for families who value comprehensive protection and convenience. Point-of-use filters only treat water at one faucet and require multiple cartridges around the home. A whole-house system provides uniform water quality everywhere, protects plumbing and appliances, and increases home value. Over a 10-year span, whole-house filtration in Loudon often costs less per gallon treated than replacing numerous small filters while delivering superior contaminant reduction.
