FAQs
Why should Rockwood homeowners consider a whole-house water filtration system?
Even though Rockwood’s municipal supply meets federal safety standards, water can still contain chlorine disinfectants, hardness minerals, sediment, and trace contaminants that affect taste, odor, and appliance life. Many properties on the outskirts of Rockwood also rely on private wells that may carry iron, sulfur, or bacteria. A whole-house system treats every drop as it enters your plumbing, giving you cleaner water at every tap, protecting pipes and fixtures, and eliminating the need for separate point-of-use filters.
What contaminants will your whole-house filtration units remove?
We custom-match equipment to your water report, but our most popular configurations remove sediment down to 5 microns, chlorine and chloramine, rust, heavy metals such as lead, agricultural run-off (pesticides, herbicides), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and unwanted tastes and odors. If your Rockwood water test shows hardness, we incorporate an integrated softener to eliminate calcium and magnesium scale. For well owners, optional UV or advanced ultrafiltration modules target E. coli, coliform bacteria, and cysts.
Will installing a whole-house filter reduce my water pressure?
Correctly sized systems are engineered to maintain household flow rates of 10–15 gpm—adequate for simultaneous showers, laundry, and irrigation. We calculate your peak-demand requirement and specify a filter housing with oversized ports and low-restriction media. After installation most customers notice no perceptible drop in pressure; some even see an improvement because the system prevents scale buildup that once constricted their pipes.
How is a whole-house filtration system installed and how long does it take?
Our licensed Rockwood plumbers mount the filtration unit on the main water line—usually in the basement, utility room, or well house. Installation entails shutting off the main valve, cutting in a bypass loop, adding isolation valves, pressure gauges, and, if needed, a drain for back-washing units or a brine line for softeners. A standard carbon/sediment system takes about 3–4 hours. Adding a softener or UV light adds another 1–2 hours. We test for leaks, flush media, and perform a final water-quality check before leaving your home.
What maintenance is required after installation?
Most Rockwood homeowners only need to replace the sediment pre-filter cartridge every 6–12 months, depending on usage and turbidity. High-capacity catalytic carbon tanks typically last 5–10 years before a media change is needed. If your package includes a softener, replenish salt pellets every 4–6 weeks. UV lamps are swapped annually. We offer an affordable maintenance plan that includes annual inspections, filter changes, and water re-testing so you never have to track schedules yourself.
How much does a whole-house filtration system cost and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on flow rate, the number of treatment stages, and whether softening or UV disinfection is included. In Rockwood, a basic sediment + carbon package starts around $1,250 installed. A comprehensive softener-carbon-UV combo for larger homes can range from $2,800 to $4,500. We partner with local lenders to provide 0% same-as-cash plans for up to 12 months or low-interest terms up to 60 months, making clean water affordable on nearly any budget.
