FAQs

What types of water purification systems do you install in Rutledge homes?

We work with all of the most reliable purification technologies on the market, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking water units, UV disinfection lights, water softeners, and combination systems that target several contaminants at once. Our technicians evaluate your incoming water quality, the plumbing layout, and your family’s usage to recommend the best-suited equipment.

How can I tell if my drinking water actually needs purification?

Several signs suggest your water could benefit from treatment: metallic, chlorine, or “rotten-egg” odors; cloudy or discolored water; mineral scale on fixtures; frequent plumbing corrosion; or recent well contamination alerts. Even if none of these symptoms are obvious, a professional lab test or on-site analysis can reveal invisible issues such as lead, PFAS, nitrates, or excess hardness. We offer affordable water testing in Rutledge and review the results with you before proposing solutions.

Will a whole-house filtration system help reduce hard-water scale on my fixtures and appliances?

Yes. If hardness (calcium and magnesium) is the primary culprit, a water softener or a salt-free conditioner can dramatically cut scale buildup, protect water heaters and dishwashers, and make soap lather better. If you want both hardness reduction and contaminant removal (chlorine, pesticides, VOCs), we can install a multi-stage unit that contains a softening resin plus catalytic carbon or specialized media.

How often do the filters or RO membranes need to be replaced?

Frequency depends on water quality and usage, but standard guidelines are: whole-house carbon cartridges—every 6–12 months; sediment pre-filters—every 3–6 months; RO pre-filters—every 6–12 months; RO membranes—every 2–4 years; UV lamps—annually. Our installations include a maintenance schedule and optional service reminders, and we stock filters locally so you don’t have to wait for special orders.

Are point-of-use systems difficult to maintain?

Not at all. Under-sink RO or carbon block filters are designed for quick cartridge changes that take 5–10 minutes with basic hand tools. We label each system with the filter part numbers and change dates. Many homeowners handle the swaps themselves; others prefer to enroll in our annual service plan, which includes filter delivery, installation, sanitation, and a performance check.

Do you provide water quality testing and free estimates in the Rutledge area?

Yes. We offer complimentary site visits within 25 miles of Rutledge to collect water samples, perform hardness/chlorine/iron tests on the spot, and discuss your concerns. If lab testing is advisable, we arrange it at cost and apply the fee toward any system you purchase. After analyzing the data, we email a written estimate that details equipment options, pricing, warranties, and expected maintenance costs—so you can make an informed decision with no obligation.
