FAQs
What types of water-purification systems do you install for Lynchburg homes?
We install whole-house filtration units (carbon, sediment, and catalytic media), under-sink reverse-osmosis (RO) systems, UV sterilizers for well water, and combination softener-filter systems. After a free in-home water test, we recommend the systemâor mix of systemsâthat best treats local contaminants such as chlorine by-products, hardness minerals, iron, and bacteria common in the Lynchburg area.
How do I know which contaminants are in my Lynchburg water supply?
We begin every project with a comprehensive water analysis. For city customers, we test for chlorine/chloramine, lead, disinfection by-products, and hardness. For well owners, we add iron, manganese, sulfur, coliform bacteria, and nitrates to the panel. Results are explained in plain language so you understand what needs to be removed and why.
Will a water-purification system reduce hard-water scale, or do I need a separate softener?
Hardness is best handled by an ion-exchange water softener. Many of our whole-house purification units can be paired with a softener in a single cabinet or configured as a two-tank system. This way you get both soft, scale-free water and high-quality filtration in one integrated solution.
How much maintenance is required after installation?
Most whole-house carbon or catalytic filters need a media change every 5â7 years, while a softener only requires adding salt pellets. Reverse-osmosis systems need pre/post filters changed annually and the RO membrane every 2â3 years. UV bulbs are swapped once a year. We offer affordable maintenance plans and can automate reminders so you never miss a service date.
Are your systems certified for safety and performance?
Yes. We only install units that carry NSF/ANSI certifications (e.g., Standard 42 for aesthetic chlorine reduction, 53 for lead and VOC removal, 58 for RO performance, and 55 Class A for UV disinfection). Certification labels ensure the system has been independently tested to remove specific contaminants at stated flow rates.
What is the typical cost and return on investment for a water-purification system in Lynchburg?
An under-sink RO system starts around $450 installed, while a whole-house filter/softener combo ranges from $2,200 to $4,500 depending on flow rate and media. Homeowners often recoup costs within 3â5 years through longer appliance life, reduced bottled-water purchases, less plumbing repair, and lower soap/detergent usage. Financing options and utility rebates may further offset upfront expenses.
