FAQs

What kinds of water purification systems do you install in New Market?

We install a full range of residential and light-commercial purification solutions, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water stations, water softeners, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection lamps, iron/sulfur removal systems and combination units tailored for well water. Because New Market homes draw from both municipal lines and private wells, we stock equipment sized from 3 GPM point-of-use RO faucets to 15 GPM whole-home multi-stage systems so we can match your exact flow rate and contaminant profile.

How do I know which purification system is right for my property?

The first step is a comprehensive water analysis. We collect a sample at your kitchen tap and, if applicable, at the well head, then test on-site for hardness, iron, pH, TDS and chlorine, while sending a portion to a certified lab for lead, nitrates, bacteria and emerging contaminants (PFAS, VOCs). Once the report is back—typically within 3–5 business days—we recommend a system sized to your home’s occupancy, plumbing configuration and target contaminants. All recommendations follow EPA and Maryland Department of the Environment standards and come with a written performance guarantee.

How often do filters, membranes and UV lamps need maintenance or replacement?

Maintenance intervals depend on your water quality and usage, but the averages for New Market customers are: • Carbon or sediment pre-filters: every 6–12 months • RO membranes: every 24–36 months (earlier if TDS rises above 80% of feed water) • Water-softener resin: 8–10 years with proper regeneration • UV lamp: annually, with quartz sleeve cleaning every 6 months. We tag each system with a service schedule and send automated reminders, so you never miss a change-out.

Can you service systems installed by another company?

Yes. Our licensed plumbers are trained on all major brands—Pentair, Culligan, A.O. Smith, Kinetico, Fleck, Viqua and more. We carry an extensive parts inventory in our service vans, so in most cases we can replace filters, O-rings, control valves or UV bulbs during the same visit. If your existing unit is obsolete or no longer performing to spec, we’ll quote repair options alongside replacement pricing so you can make an informed decision.

What does a typical whole-house purification installation cost in New Market?

Pricing varies with flow rate, technology and plumbing complexity, but most homeowners spend $1,200–$2,800 for a single-tank carbon or softening system, $3,000–$4,500 for dual-tank softener/filtration combos, and $650–$1,100 for an under-sink RO unit. All quotes include the water test, equipment, permits, labor, bypass valves, pressure test and a 1-year labor warranty. Financing is available through our partner, GreenSky, with 0% APR plans up to 18 months.

Are whole-house purification systems really worth the investment?

For many New Market residents the answer is yes, because our region’s groundwater can be hard (8–12 gpg) and may contain iron, sulfur and trace agricultural runoff. A properly sized system protects plumbing fixtures from scale, improves appliance efficiency, eliminates chlorine taste and extends the life of water heaters and boilers. Customers report 30–50% savings on soap and detergent, fewer plumbing repairs and a noticeable improvement in skin and hair feel. With routine maintenance, a quality system lasts 15–20 years, delivering long-term value and healthier water throughout your home.
