FAQs

What contaminants are typically found in Maynardville’s water, and how do your advanced purification systems remove them?

Maynardville’s municipal water regularly meets federal safety standards, but many homeowners still encounter chlorine taste and odor, hard-water scale, sediment, agricultural nitrates, and trace metals such as lead leached from older plumbing. Our advanced purification systems use a layered approach to target these issues: a 5-micron sediment pre-filter screens out rust and silt; catalytic activated carbon eliminates up to 99 % of chlorine and many volatile organic compounds; a reverse-osmosis (RO) membrane removes dissolved solids, nitrates, arsenic, and lead; and an optional UV stage provides 99.99 % disinfection against bacteria and viruses. The result is crisp, clean, and safe water at every tap.

Which type of purification system—whole-house, under-sink reverse osmosis, or UV—should I choose for my Maynardville home?

The best system depends on your water-quality goals and plumbing configuration. A whole-house carbon or catalytic filtration unit is ideal when you want every fixture—showers, laundry, and kitchen—to be chlorine-free and gentle on skin and appliances. An under-sink RO system is the top choice for pure drinking and cooking water, delivering bottled-quality water at a single faucet while venting brine to the drain. If you have well water, immunocompromised family members, or simply want an added layer of protection, a UV sterilizer can be installed either as a final stage after RO or as a stand-alone whole-house disinfection unit. Our technicians provide a free on-site test and recommend a tailored setup.

How is a purification system installed, and will it disrupt my existing plumbing or daily routine?

Installation is handled by our state-licensed plumbers and usually takes 2–4 hours for an under-sink RO unit and 4–6 hours for a whole-house system. We shut off the main water, cut into the supply line, and mount the filtration housing or RO manifold in a convenient location such as the basement, crawl space, or under the kitchen sink. Flexible PEX tubing, a bypass valve, pressure gauges, and leak-detection sensors are included to keep future servicing simple. Walls and floors are not opened beyond the small access holes required for tubing, so household disruption is minimal. Once installed, we flush and test the system, then show you how to operate the shut-off and change filters.

How often do the filters, membranes, and UV lamps need to be replaced, and do you offer maintenance plans?

For a typical family using 50–75 gallons a day, sediment and granular-carbon cartridges last about 6 months, block-carbon filters 9–12 months, and RO membranes 24–36 months, depending on water hardness and usage. UV lamps should be replaced annually to maintain their germicidal intensity, while the quartz sleeve is cleaned at the same time. We track your installation date in our database and email or text you when service is due. Our worry-free maintenance plans start at $12 per month and include filter kits, annual on-site service, performance testing, and extended warranty coverage, so you never have to remember part numbers or schedules.

What is the cost of an advanced purification system, and how does it compare with buying bottled water?

Installed pricing in Maynardville averages $850–$1,200 for a high-capacity under-sink RO unit and $1,800–$3,500 for a whole-house carbon/softening system with UV. Annual maintenance runs $100–$180 for most households. Over a year, an RO system produces about 2,000 gallons of purified water for roughly $0.03 per gallon—far less than the $1.00-plus you pay for single-serve bottled water. Families who currently purchase just two cases of bottled water a week often see return on investment within the first 12–18 months. Additional savings come from reduced appliance scale buildup and longer-lasting water heaters, faucets, and ice makers.

Are your purification systems certified, and do you provide water testing before and after installation?

Yes. Every component we install is third-party certified to the relevant NSF/ANSI standards: 42 for chlorine and taste reduction, 53 for lead and cyst removal, 58 for reverse osmosis performance, and 55 Class A for UV disinfection. Before recommending a system, we conduct a complementary on-site test that measures total dissolved solids (TDS), hardness, pH, iron, chlorine, and nitrates. If more detailed data is required—such as for well water—we send a sample to our partnered state-certified laboratory. After installation, we re-test to verify removal rates and provide you with a printed and digital report for your records. All systems carry a limited lifetime workmanship warranty and up to 10-year manufacturer warranties on major components.
