FAQs
Why should I hire a licensed plumber for water-purification installation in Mulberry?
Only a state-licensed plumber can legally connect a purification unit to your household plumbing in Florida. Licensing ensures the technician has passed background checks, carries the required liability insurance, and understands Florida Building Code Chapter 6 (Water Supply) as well as local Mulberry permitting rules. A licensed professional protects your warranty, prevents cross-connection contamination, and guarantees the system is sized and installed to deliver safe, consistent drinking water.
What types of water-purification systems do you install and service?
We install, replace, and maintain whole-house carbon filtration, reverse-osmosis (RO) units, under-sink RO systems, ultraviolet (UV) sterilizers, water softeners with integrated filtration, and specialty media filters that target iron, sulfur, or manganese common in Mulberry’s well and municipal supplies. We also service cartridge-based countertop systems and perform membrane replacements for existing RO equipment.
How do I decide which purification system is best for my Mulberry home?
The choice depends on your water source (city or private well), test results, household size, and water-use habits. We start with an on-site water analysis that checks hardness, pH, total dissolved solids, chlorine, iron, sulfur, and bacterial content. After reviewing the data and your budget, we compare options—e.g., a whole-house carbon filter for chlorinated city water, an RO system for high TDS, or a softener/iron filter combo for well water. We provide a written recommendation outlining upfront cost, maintenance needs, and expected lifespan so you can make an informed decision.
What happens during a professional water-quality test?
Our technician collects samples from multiple taps, runs in-field tests for chlorine, hardness, and iron, and takes sealed samples to an EPA-certified lab for bacteriological and heavy-metal analysis. Results are typically ready in 3–5 business days. We provide a detailed report, explain any contaminants that exceed EPA or Florida Department of Health guidelines, and propose treatment solutions if needed. Testing is crucial before selecting equipment and whenever you notice taste, odor, or staining changes.
How often does my water-purification system need maintenance?
Maintenance schedules vary by system: • Whole-house carbon filters: media replacement every 3–5 years. • Under-sink RO: sediment and carbon pre-filters every 6–12 months; RO membrane every 2–3 years; post-filter annually. • UV sterilizers: lamp replacement every 12 months and quartz sleeve cleaning each service visit. • Water softeners/iron filters: salt refills monthly and resin or media rebeds every 5–7 years. We offer customizable annual service plans to handle all filter changes, sanitize housings, inspect fittings, and document performance so you stay in compliance with manufacturer warranties.
Are there local regulations in Mulberry or Polk County that affect water-purification installations?
Yes. Polk County Building Division requires a plumbing permit when a purification system ties into the main supply line. Backflow prevention must meet Florida Administrative Code 62-555.360, and whole-house units must be installed downstream of the water meter but before branch lines. If you’re on a private well, the Florida Department of Health in Polk County may require bacterial clearance after installation. Our licensed plumbers pull all necessary permits, schedule inspections, and provide the backflow-device certification so you stay fully compliant and avoid fines.
