FAQs
Why would I need a purified-water system in Norris if the municipal supply is already treated?
While Norris Water Commission meets federal drinking-water standards, the treatment process still leaves trace chlorine, chloramine by-products, sediment, and minerals that can affect taste, odor, appliance life, and sensitive health conditions. A point-of-use or whole-house purification system provides an extra barrier that polishes the water just before you use it, removes low-level contaminants the city is not required to eliminate (such as PFAS, lead that can leach from household pipes, and pharmaceutical residues), and delivers bottle-quality water on tap at every fixture.
What kinds of purification systems do you install and how do I know which one is right for my home?
We offer three main categories: (1) Under-sink reverse-osmosis (RO) units for cooking and drinking water; (2) Whole-house carbon or catalytic filtration for chlorine, chloramine, sulfur, and taste/odor removal; and (3) Combination softener-filter packages that reduce hardness and contaminants in a single cabinet. During a free in-home water analysis, we test for hardness, TDS, iron, pH, and chlorine. The results, plus your family’s water-use patterns, space constraints, and budget, guide our recommendation so you get neither too little nor too much technology.
How much space and plumbing modification will an RO or whole-house system require?
A standard 4-stage under-sink RO needs roughly 16" W × 6" D × 18" H of cabinet space plus room for a 3-gallon storage tank. Installation usually ties into the cold-water shut-off and the sink drain, so modifications are minimal and completely reversible. Whole-house systems mount near the main water entry, often beside the water heater. A typical carbon filter or softener stands about 54" H × 10" D and needs a nearby 110-V outlet and floor drain. Our technicians use flexible piping and bypass valves so service or future removal is straightforward.
What routine maintenance is involved and how often will I need service?
Under-sink RO pre-filters are changed every 6–12 months, the membrane every 2–3 years, and the post-polishing filter annually. Whole-house carbon media lasts 5–7 years before a re-bed is needed. Softener resin is good for 10+ years with proper brine saturation. All systems receive a 12-point checkup at installation and a complimentary first-year inspection. We offer affordable filter-delivery subscriptions or full-service maintenance plans so you never have to remember schedules.
Will a purification system remove hardness, chlorine taste, lead, PFAS, and other contaminants found in East Tennessee water?
Yes, when the correct media stages are combined. An RO membrane rejects 90-99 % of dissolved solids such as lead, arsenic, nitrate, and PFAS. Catalytic carbon eliminates chlorine, chloramine, VOCs, and musty odors. If hardness scaling is also a problem, we add an ion-exchange softener or template-assisted crystallization (salt-free) unit. Your water is tested before and after installation so you can see the reduction numbers in black and white.
What is the typical cost for a purified-water installation in Norris and can I bundle systems to save money?
Installed under-sink RO packages start at about $525, including a brushed-nickel drinking-water faucet. Whole-house catalytic carbon systems range from $1,100 to $1,800 depending on flow rate, and softener-carbon combo units average $1,950–$2,400. Bundling an RO with a whole-house filter or softener saves 10–15 % on equipment and labor. Financing plans as low as $29 per month and local utility rebates for water-efficient softeners are also available.
