FAQs
Why is home water purification especially important in Oak Ridge?
Although Oak Ridge’s municipal supply meets federal safety standards, many homeowners notice residual chlorine, hardness minerals, and trace contaminants that can affect taste, odor, and appliance longevity. A dedicated purification system removes these impurities, providing cleaner drinking water, protecting plumbing fixtures from scale build-up, and giving added peace of mind for families with sensitive health needs.
What certifications do your water-purification plumbing technicians hold?
Every field technician is a Tennessee-licensed journeyman or master plumber and has completed Water Quality Association (WQA) Certified Installer training. In addition, staff members maintain manufacturer-specific credentials for leading brands such as Pentair, A.O. Smith, and Kinetico. Ongoing continuing-education courses ensure they stay current with local code updates and the newest filtration technologies.
Which types of water purification systems can you install or service?
We design, install, and maintain a full range of solutions, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking-water stations, water softeners, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection units, iron/sulfur removal systems, and combination filters tailored to Oak Ridge’s water profile. Our team performs an on-site water analysis to recommend the right mix for your home’s specific contaminant levels and usage patterns.
How long does installation take and what should I expect on the service day?
Most standard whole-house systems require 3–5 hours, while under-sink RO systems typically take 1–2 hours. We begin with a brief walkthrough, shut off the main water supply, and protect flooring in the work area. After plumbing connections are made, the system is pressure-tested, sanitized, and programmed. We finish with a customer orientation covering operating instructions, warranty registration, and maintenance scheduling.
How often will my purification system need maintenance or filter changes?
Service intervals vary by system type and water usage, but common guidelines are: carbon pre-filters every 6–12 months, RO membranes every 2–3 years, UV lamps annually, and water-softener resin cleaning every 1–2 years. We provide a personalized maintenance calendar and offer optional automatic filter-shipment or full-service plans so you never miss a replacement.
What are the typical costs and do you offer financing?
Installed pricing in Oak Ridge starts around $400 for a point-of-use RO unit, $1,100–$1,800 for a standard whole-house carbon or softener system, and $2,500+ for multi-stage or specialty contaminant solutions. Estimates are itemized and include equipment, labor, permits, and a one-year workmanship warranty. We partner with local lenders to provide 0% promotional financing for up to 18 months or low-interest plans stretching to 60 months, subject to credit approval.
