FAQs
Why would I need water purification in Pigeon Forge when our water already comes from the mountains?
Although mountain-sourced water starts out clean, it can pick up minerals, sediment, and biological contaminants as it travels through soil, aging municipal lines, or private wells. Pigeon Forge’s water is also treated with chlorine, which affects taste and odor. A dedicated purification system ensures every glass of water in your home is clear of unwanted particles, tastes fresh, and is safe for sensitive family members and visitors.
What contaminants are most common in Pigeon Forge tap or well water?
Local testing shows three main categories: (1) hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium that leave white scale; (2) dissolved metals like iron and manganese that cause reddish stains or metallic taste; and (3) occasional bacterial or microbial activity in private wells after heavy rain. Trace amounts of chlorine by-products, sulfur, and sediment are also periodically detected. A water analysis from Mountain-Fresh Water Plumbing pinpoints which of these you have so we can recommend the correct treatment.
Which purification systems do you install and how do they work?
We design systems based on your test results and water volume. Options include: • Whole-home carbon filtration to remove chlorine, organic chemicals, and odors; • High-capacity water softeners that exchange hardness minerals for sodium or potassium, preventing scale; • Reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking stations that push water through a semipermeable membrane, removing up to 99% of dissolved solids; • UV sterilizers that bathe water in ultraviolet light to neutralize bacteria; and • Combination units that integrate several technologies in a single tank. All our equipment is NSF-certified and sized for Smoky Mountain water conditions.
Will a purification system help with hard water scale on faucets, dishes, and appliances?
Yes. A properly sized water softener or scale-reduction cartridge eliminates the calcium and magnesium that form hard deposits. Customers typically see brighter laundry, spot-free glassware, and extended life for water heaters, dishwashers, and coffee makers. Because Pigeon Forge hardness averages 8–12 grains per gallon, most homeowners notice a dramatic difference within the first week of installation.
How much maintenance is required and can you service the system?
Maintenance is minimal but important. Carbon filters generally need replacement every 6–12 months, RO membranes every 2–3 years, and UV lamps annually. Our technicians provide reminder emails, optional service plans, and same-day filter swaps. We also perform annual sanitation and performance checks to keep the system operating at peak efficiency.
Can I install a purification unit myself, or should I hire Mountain-Fresh Water Plumbing?
Some countertop units are DIY-friendly, but whole-home softeners, RO systems, and UV sterilizers need correct sizing, backflow protection, and pressure balancing. Improper installation can void warranties or create plumbing code violations. Our licensed plumbers know local water chemistry, obtain permits when required, and include a workmanship guarantee and first-year maintenance visit—ensuring your investment delivers the pure, mountain-fresh water you expect.
