FAQs
What do you mean by a “bottled-water taste” plumbing purification system?
Our system is a whole-house water purification package that removes chlorine, sediments, unpleasant odors, and dissolved solids so the water coming from every tap tastes as crisp and refreshing as your favorite bottled water—without the plastic waste or recurring store costs.
How does the system create bottled-quality water for every fixture in my Strawberry Plains home?
Incoming municipal or well water first passes through a high-capacity sediment pre-filter, then a catalytic activated-carbon chamber that strips chlorine, chloramines, and volatile organic compounds. Next, a high-performance water-softening resin lowers hardness, and the final polishing stage uses a sub-micron or reverse-osmosis membrane (site-specific) to reduce lead, cysts, and micro-plastics. The result is clean, neutral-tasting water available at every sink, shower, refrigerator line, and outdoor spigot.
Are the contaminants common to Strawberry Plains effectively removed?
Yes. Local water reports list chlorine, moderate hardness (120–140 ppm), agricultural nitrates, and trace metals such as lead from legacy plumbing. The multi-stage system is independently certified to NSF/ANSI standards 42, 53, and 58 for reduction of chlorine taste & odor, particulates, lead, cysts, and nitrates —all of which appear periodically in Jefferson and Knox county water tests.
How much maintenance is involved and how often do I change filters?
• Sediment pre-filter: Replace every 6–12 months, depending on turbidity. • Carbon media: Change or re-bed every 3 years (or 600,000 gallons). • Softening resin: Expected life 10–15 years with correct salt regeneration. • RO or sub-micron membrane (if installed): Replace every 24–36 months. A quick-connect manifold makes each swap tool-free, and our service team offers reminder alerts and affordable maintenance plans.
Will the purification system reduce my water pressure or flow rate?
The system is engineered for typical Strawberry Plains household pressures (55–70 psi) and sized to 15 gpm peak flow—more than enough for multiple showers running at once. Any minor pressure drop (2–4 psi) is usually unnoticeable; larger homes can be outfitted with 1.25-inch ports or a pressure-boosting station if needed.
What does installation involve and what is the approximate cost?
A certified technician mounts the tank array and bypass manifold at the main water entry point—usually the garage or crawlspace—then connects the drain line for automatic back-washing. Most jobs take 3–4 hours and require no structural changes. In Strawberry Plains, complete turnkey installations start at about $2,100 for a standard 3-stage system and $3,300 for the version that includes reverse osmosis polishing. Financing and 10-year parts warranties are available.
