FAQs

How does a reverse-osmosis (RO) system purify my tap water in Spring City?

An RO unit pushes household water through a semipermeable membrane that has microscopic pores (≈0.0001 µm). The membrane blocks dissolved salts, heavy metals, disinfectant by-products, and microbes while letting clean H₂O molecules pass. A series of pre-filters (sediment and carbon) protect the membrane, and a post-filter polishes the taste before the water reaches your dedicated faucet. The result is bottled-quality water produced on demand right in your kitchen.

What contaminants commonly found in Spring City’s water supply does your RO setup remove?

Spring City’s municipal reports show traces of chlorine, chloramine, hardness minerals, lead from service lines, nitrates from agricultural runoff, fluoride, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Our 5-stage RO systems are certified to remove or significantly reduce all of these, along with arsenic, chromium-6, PFAS ("forever chemicals"), cysts (Giardia & Cryptosporidium), and up to 97 % of total dissolved solids (TDS).

Where is the RO unit installed and will it fit under my sink?

Most residential RO packages consist of a compact filter manifold (≈15 in H × 13 in W × 5 in D) and a 3–4 gal pressurized storage tank (≈16 in H × 11 in dia). Both components typically fit in a standard kitchen base cabinet. During our free site visit we measure available space, check for a 110 V outlet if you choose a pump-assisted model, and verify that the drain and cold-water line can accept the necessary connections. If space is limited, we can mount the system in an adjacent cabinet, the basement below, or opt for a tankless high-flow RO model.

How much water does an RO system waste and can it be minimized?

Traditional RO units send 3–4 gallons of brine to the drain for every gallon of purified water produced (a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio). Newer high-efficiency membranes combined with a permeate pump or electric booster can cut that ratio to 1:1. You can further reduce waste by routing the reject line to a gray-water bucket for plant watering or toilet flushing. In commercial or high-use homes, we recommend our dedicated permeate-pump add-on, which typically pays for itself in reduced water bills within a year.

What routine maintenance is required and how often should filters and membranes be replaced?

1) Sediment pre-filter – replace every 6 months (protects the carbon stage and membrane). 2) Carbon block – replace every 6 months (removes chlorine/chloramine that would damage the membrane). 3) RO membrane – replace every 2–3 years, depending on incoming TDS and usage. 4) Post-carbon polishing filter – replace annually for taste. We offer an optional annual maintenance plan that includes filter changes, sanitizing the system, pressure-tank check, and a water-quality test, all at a discounted flat rate.

How much does professional RO installation cost in Spring City and are financing options available?

A standard 5-stage undersink RO system with installation starts at $425, which includes all fittings, a dedicated brushed-nickel faucet, and the first set of filters. Upgrades such as designer faucets, permeate pumps, remineralization cartridges, or whole-house shut-off valves add $40–$180 each. We partner with GreenSky™ to offer 0 % interest for 12 months on purchases over $399, or low-APR terms up to 60 months. All installations come with a 2-year workmanship warranty and lifetime customer support from our Spring City office.
