FAQs

What contaminants can your advanced filtration systems remove from Ten Mile’s water supply?

Our multi-stage systems are engineered to target the full spectrum of common and emerging contaminants found in Ten Mile’s municipal and well water. The standard configuration includes a 5-micron sediment pre-filter to trap rust, sand, and silt; an activated catalytic carbon block to adsorb chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, VOCs, and unpleasant tastes or odors; a certified lead/metal reduction cartridge; and an optional reverse-osmosis or nanofiltration membrane capable of rejecting fluoride, arsenic, nitrates, and up to 99% of dissolved solids. For microbiological protection, we integrate a final UV disinfection chamber that inactivates bacteria, viruses, and cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

How does the whole-house filtration system work, and where is it installed?

The system is installed on the main cold-water line immediately after the water meter or pressure tank, so every tap in your home—kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, and outdoor spigots—receives purified water. As water enters, it flows through sequential modules: (1) sediment pre-filter, (2) carbon/metal reduction cartridge, (3) optional RO or nano membrane with a storage tank and pressure pump (for point-of-use or dedicated faucets), and (4) UV sterilizer. The process is fully automated and pressure-balanced to deliver continuous, high-quality water without manual intervention.

Will installing a filtration system affect my water pressure or flow rate?

Our systems are sized according to the plumbing layout and peak demand of your property in Ten Mile. Standard whole-house units maintain 10–12 gallons per minute (gpm) at 60 psi—sufficient for simultaneous showers, laundry, and irrigation. We use low-pressure-drop cartridges and 1" or 1¼" valved bypasses to preserve flow. If reverse osmosis is selected for the whole home, we incorporate a booster pump and pressurized storage tank to compensate for the inherent pressure loss of membrane filtration.

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

Maintenance is straightforward. The sediment pre-filter typically lasts 6–12 months, depending on incoming turbidity. The catalytic carbon/metal cartridge has a 12–18-month service life or 100,000 gallons, whichever comes first. UV lamps are replaced annually, while the quartz sleeve is cleaned during the same visit. RO membranes generally last 3–5 years with proper pre-filtration. We offer an affordable service plan that includes scheduled filter changes, UV lamp swaps, performance testing, and a written report to keep your warranty active.

Are your filtration products certified and compliant with local regulations in Ten Mile?

Yes. All major components carry NSF/ANSI certifications: Standard 42 and 53 for aesthetic and health contaminant removal, Standard 55 Class A for UV disinfection, and Standard 58 for reverse osmosis. Our installation practices meet Tennessee Uniform Plumbing Code and local Ten Mile permitting requirements. We file any necessary backflow prevention paperwork with the local utility and provide homeowners with documentation for insurance or resale purposes.

How long does installation take, and what should I expect during the process?

Most residential installations are completed in one day. Our licensed plumber arrives between 8–9 a.m., shuts off the main valve, and installs a three-valve bypass manifold so you’ll always have a way to isolate or service the system. We then mount the filtration modules on a wall bracket or floor stand, connect plumbing with PEX or copper, and commission the UV unit. The system is flushed, pressure-tested, and bacteria-sampled when applicable. We finish by giving you a walkthrough, maintenance schedule, and 24/7 support contact. Minimal space is required—about 36" w × 18" d of wall or floor area near the main water entry point.
