FAQs
What water quality problems are most common in Palmer, and how can a purification system solve them?
Palmer’s water—whether it comes from a private well or the Matanuska-Susitna Borough’s public supply—often contains high iron, manganese, hardness minerals, and in some areas traces of arsenic or PFAS. These contaminants can cause staining, scaling, metallic taste, and potential health concerns. A properly sized purification system (typically combining sediment pre-filtration, water softening, carbon or specialty media, and—when warranted—reverse osmosis or arsenic-specific cartridges) targets each of these issues, delivering clear, great-tasting, and safe water at every tap.
Which type of water purification system do you recommend for Palmer homes on city water versus private wells?
For city-supplied water, most homeowners do well with a whole-house carbon filtration unit to remove chlorine/chloramines, plus an under-sink reverse-osmosis (RO) unit for drinking and cooking water. For private wells we normally start with a comprehensive water test, then tailor the solution: an iron/manganese filter or softener to handle metals and hardness, arsenic-removal media if levels exceed 10 ppb, and an ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer or RO system for microbiological safety. Every installation is customized after we review your test results and water-usage patterns.
How often will my filters, membranes, or media need service or replacement in Palmer’s conditions?
Typical intervals are: sediment pre-filters—every 6–12 months; carbon filters—12–24 months; softener or iron filter resin—every 8–10 years; RO membranes—3–5 years; arsenic or PFAS specialty media—when lab testing shows breakthrough, usually 12–36 months. Palmer’s elevated iron and hardness can shorten these timelines, so we include a simple maintenance calendar and offer automatic reminders or annual service visits to keep everything running efficiently.
Do you handle all required plumbing work, and how long does installation take?
Yes. We are licensed plumbers and water-treatment specialists, so we take care of permits, pipe modifications, drain connections, electrical requirements, and post-installation testing. A standard whole-house system installs in about half a day; adding a softener, UV unit, or RO system can extend the visit to a full day. We schedule at your convenience and leave the work area clean, with the system fully commissioned before we leave.
Can your systems remove PFAS, arsenic, and other emerging contaminants found in Alaska?
Absolutely. We carry NSF/ANSI-certified media designed specifically for arsenic V/III, as well as high-capacity activated carbon and anion-exchange media that are proven to reduce PFAS to non-detectable levels. When needed, we follow up with laboratory testing to verify performance and provide documentation you can keep for home-sale disclosures or personal peace of mind.
What does a complete water purification system cost in Palmer, and do you offer financing or rental plans?
Pricing depends on water test results and household size, but most whole-house filtration or softening systems range from $1,200 to $3,500, while under-sink RO units start around $450. A more complex package addressing iron, hardness, arsenic, and PFAS can run $4,000–$6,500. We partner with local lenders for 0 % short-term or low-APR long-term financing and also offer month-to-month rental or lease-to-own options that include annual service, making clean water accessible without a large upfront expense.
