FAQs
Why should Monteagle homeowners consider a whole-home water filtration system?
Monteagle’s municipal and well-water sources travel through limestone geology and aging distribution lines, often picking up hardness minerals, sediment, and traces of chlorine or agricultural runoff before reaching your tap. A whole-home filtration system treats every drop as it enters the house, protecting plumbing fixtures, improving taste and odor, safeguarding appliances from scale buildup, and providing cleaner water for bathing, cooking, and laundry.
Which contaminants will your whole-home filtration unit remove or reduce?
Our multi-stage systems are engineered for the specific water profile in the Cumberland Plateau region. They typically remove sediment down to 5 microns, reduce chlorine and chloramine, filter out sulfur odors, lower iron and manganese, minimize hardness minerals, and adsorb organic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and VOCs. Optional UV or advanced carbon blocks can target bacteria, cysts, and PFAS for households needing additional protection.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
After a free on-site water analysis, our licensed plumbers identify the ideal location—usually near the main water shut-off. Installation involves cutting into the supply line, adding bypass valves, mounting the filtration tank(s), and commissioning the system. For most Monteagle homes, the job is completed in one day with water service interrupted for only 1–2 hours. We haul away debris and leave the workspace clean.
How often do filters or media need to be serviced or replaced?
Schedule depends on water usage and quality, but most sediment pre-filters require replacement every 6–12 months. Carbon or catalytic media in the main tank last 5–10 years, and softening resin can exceed 15 years with proper regeneration cycles. We offer annual service plans that include testing, filter changes, and performance checks to keep your warranty valid and system running at peak efficiency.
Will a whole-home filtration system reduce my water pressure or damage existing plumbing?
Our systems are sized to your home’s flow rate and use full-port bypass valves to maintain pressure. A correctly installed unit introduces less than 3–5 psi of pressure drop—imperceptible in normal use. By removing scale-forming minerals and abrasive sediment, the filter actually extends the life of pipes, water heaters, and fixtures rather than harming them.
What does a whole-home water filtration system cost and are financing options available?
Turn-key installations in Monteagle typically range from $1,800 to $4,500 depending on capacity, media type, and optional UV or softening add-ons. We provide upfront quotes with no hidden fees and back every system with a 5-year parts and labor warranty. Zero-interest financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months are available, and many customers take advantage of utility rebates or HSA funds to offset the investment.
