FAQs
Why should I consider a water purification system for my home in Powell?
Although Powell’s municipal water complies with federal safety standards, many homeowners notice chlorine taste, sulfur odors, mineral buildup, or are concerned about trace contaminants such as lead, PFAS, and agricultural runoff common in Central Ohio. A properly sized purification system can remove those impurities, safeguard your family’s health, protect plumbing fixtures from scale, and extend the life of water-using appliances.
What types of water treatment systems do you install and service?
We work with everything from basic point-of-use filters to whole-house solutions, including: • Carbon block and catalytic carbon filters for chlorine, taste, and odor removal • Reverse osmosis (RO) units for under-sink or whole-home applications to reduce dissolved solids, fluoride, lead, and pharmaceuticals • Water softeners (ion exchange and salt-free conditioners) for hard-water scale • UV disinfection lights that neutralize bacteria and viruses—ideal for well users around Powell • Combination systems that integrate softening, carbon filtration, and RO in one cabinet. All products are NSF/ANSI certified and sized to match local water chemistry.
How do I know which purification system is right for my household?
Start with a professional water analysis. We provide a free on-site test that measures hardness, pH, chlorine, iron, manganese, nitrates, and total dissolved solids. We also review your household size, flow rate requirements, and budget. Based on those results we recommend one or more treatment options, explain the pros and cons, and give upfront pricing so you can make an informed choice.
How much maintenance will my new system require?
Maintenance is straightforward: • Sediment or carbon pre-filters: replace every 6-12 months. • RO membranes: change every 24-36 months depending on usage and incoming water quality. • Water softener resin beds: last 8-12 years; add salt pellets about once a month. • UV lamps: swap annually to maintain disinfection rating. We offer economical service plans that include filter changes, performance checks, and a complete system sanitization once a year.
Will a purification system eliminate hard water scale and improve taste and odor?
Yes. A water softener or anti-scale conditioner removes calcium and magnesium that cause spots on fixtures and clogs in pipes. Pairing the softener with a carbon filter or RO unit strips out chlorine, sulfur compounds, and organic material that create unpleasant tastes and smells. The result is crystal-clear water that’s gentler on skin, hair, and appliances.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
1. Consultation: We test the water, review options, and finalize equipment. 2. Scheduling: Most installations are set within a week. 3. Install day: Under-sink RO units take 2-3 hours; whole-home systems usually 3-5 hours, including plumbing tie-ins, drain connections, and electrical work for softeners or UV lights. Our licensed Powell plumbers pull any required permits, protect your flooring, and flush the lines. 4. Startup & training: We test the treated water, program the controller, and show you how to change filters and add salt if applicable. Your water is ready to drink immediately after installation.
