FAQs

What kinds of water-purification systems do you install for Newport properties?

We supply and install a full range of systems, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking-water units, under-sink ultrafiltration cartridges, UV disinfection lamps, and combination softener/filtration packages. All products are NSF-certified, sized to your home or business, and fully compliant with Rhode Island Department of Health (or Welsh Water if you’re in Newport, UK) guidelines.

How can I tell which purification technology my Newport home really needs?

Start with a free on-site water test. We analyze hardness, chlorine, pH, dissolved solids, heavy metals, and any problem tastes or odors common to Newport’s municipal supply. Based on the lab results and your usage (e.g., cooking, brewing, medical equipment), we recommend the most cost-effective solution—often a carbon/RO combo for drinking water and a softener or catalytic carbon filter for whole-house treatment.

Will a whole-house system remove both chlorine taste and limescale?

Yes. We typically pair a catalytic carbon filter with a high-efficiency water softener. The carbon stage removes chlorine, chloramine, and organic by-products that cause bad taste or odor, while the softener uses ion exchange to take out calcium and magnesium that create limescale. The result is better-tasting water at every tap, longer appliance life, and spot-free fixtures.

How often will I need to change filters or membranes, and do you offer maintenance?

Sediment or carbon pre-filters are usually replaced every 6–12 months, RO membranes every 2–5 years, and UV lamps annually, depending on usage and water quality. We offer flexible maintenance plans: annual check-ups, filter-only service, or full worry-free packages that include parts, labor, and performance re-testing. You’ll receive reminders so you never have to track dates yourself.

Can I install the system myself, or is professional plumbing required?

Small countertop or pitcher units can be DIY, but whole-house filters, softeners, and RO units must be tied into the main water line, require pressure balancing, and must meet local plumbing codes. Our licensed Newport plumbers handle permits, bypass piping, drain connections, and post-installation bacteriological testing to ensure your system performs safely from day one.

What will a complete water-purification solution cost, and are financing options available?

Point-of-use RO systems start around $450 installed, while whole-house filtration/softening packages range from $1,600 to $3,800 depending on flow rate, contaminant load, and add-ons like UV or smart monitoring. We offer 0% interest financing for up to 18 months, discounts for multi-unit buildings, and free estimates so you can choose a plan that fits your budget without compromising water quality.
