FAQs
Why should I install a whole-home water filtration system in Sevierville?
Seviervilleâs municipal water is safe to drink, but it still contains chlorine, mineral sediment, and trace contaminants that can affect taste, odor, and plumbing fixtures. A whole-home system treats every drop of water as it enters your main line, so kitchen taps, showers, laundry, and ice makers all receive cleaner, better-tasting water. Benefits include softer skin and hair, longer-lasting appliances, reduced scale buildup, and fewer bottled-water purchases.
What contaminants can a whole-home filtration unit remove?
A properly sized multi-stage system can target a wide range of impurities common to Sevier County, including chlorine and chloramines, sand and silt, sulfur smells, lead, agricultural runoff, and hard-water minerals. Carbon or catalytic carbon media adsorb chemicals and odors, sediment filters trap particulate, and optional UV or reverse-osmosis add-ons neutralize bacteria, viruses, and cysts for an extra layer of protection.
How is the filtration system installed in my Sevierville home?
Our licensed plumbers locate the main water lineâusually near the water heater or where the line first enters your crawl space/garage. We shut off the supply, cut the pipe, and plumb the filter manifold in-line so all downstream fixtures are protected. Most installs take 3â5 hours and require no structural changes. When finished, we flush the system, test for leaks, and record your baseline water pressure and quality readings.
Will a whole-home filter lower my water pressure?
Modern high-flow housings are designed to keep pressure loss under 3â5 psi, which is unnoticeable in everyday use. We size the media bed and inlet/outlet ports to match your homeâs demand (žⳠor 1âł lines for most Sevierville residences). If you have multiple bathrooms or a large irrigation loop, we may recommend a larger cartridge or parallel system to maintain optimal flow.
How much maintenance is involved and what will it cost?
Maintenance is straightforward: sediment pre-filters are replaced every 6â12 months ($20â$40 each), carbon media lasts 3â5 years before a media change-out ($200â$400), and a salt-free conditioner or softener requires periodic media or salt refills. We offer annual service plans starting at roughly $120 that include filter swaps, water testing, and system sanitization so you never have to track replacement dates.
How do I choose the right system for my familyâs needs?
We begin with a free on-site water analysis that checks hardness, chlorine level, total dissolved solids, pH, and metals. Then we consider household size, fixture count, and any health concerns (such as lead or immune sensitivities). Based on this data, we recommend a point-of-entry filterâor a combination of filtration, conditioning, and UVâtailored to meet both your water quality goals and budget. All recommendations come with upfront pricing and a written performance guarantee.
