FAQs
What makes your water taste better than regular tap water in McDonald?
Our system combines advanced carbon block filtration with reverse osmosis to remove chlorine, chloramines, dissolved solids, and unwanted odors that affect taste. By polishing the water with a post-filter and remineralizing it with food-grade calcium, we balance pH and give every glass a crisp, refreshing flavor. Because the source is the same municipal supply you already trust, the only difference youâll notice is the superior taste.
Which contaminants are removed by your purification equipment?
The multi-stage system targets sediment, rust, chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), lead, mercury, cysts (Giardia & Cryptosporidium), PFAS, and up to 99% of dissolved salts and heavy metals. It also reduces hardness minerals that cause scale buildup in appliances. Independent laboratory tests verify that the treated water meets or exceeds NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, 58, and 401.
Is the filtration equipment certified and safe for my family?
Yes. All critical componentsâmembranes, carbon blocks, housings, and fittingsâcarry NSF or WQA Gold Seal certification for material safety and performance. The system uses BPA-free, food-grade plastics and stainless steel where water contacts metal. Every unit is pressure-tested before installation, and our technicians are licensed and insured in the state of Pennsylvania.
How often does the system need maintenance, and what does it involve?
Regular maintenance is simple: pre-filters are replaced every 6â12 months, the RO membrane every 24â36 months (depending on water quality and usage), and the post-filter annually. During each service visit we sanitize the storage tank, inspect O-rings, check pressure, and flush the lines. We offer convenient automatic service reminders and affordable maintenance plans to keep your water tasting great year-round.
Will the purified water help extend the life of my plumbing fixtures and appliances?
Absolutely. By removing hardness minerals and corrosive contaminants, the conditioned water reduces scale buildup in pipes, faucets, ice makers, coffee machines, and water heaters. This leads to fewer clogs, lower energy consumption, and longer equipment life. Many of our McDonald customers notice cleaner glassware and brighter laundry within weeks of installation.
What is the cost of installation, and are there financing options?
A typical under-sink reverse-osmosis system installed in a McDonald home starts at about $795, which includes the initial water test, equipment, professional installation, and the first yearâs filters. Whole-home systems begin around $2,400, depending on flow rate and capacity.
