FAQs

Why should Ten Mile homeowners consider a whole-home water filtration system?

Municipal and well water in Ten Mile can contain hardness minerals, chlorine, sediment, iron, sulfur, and trace levels of agricultural or industrial runoff. A whole-home (point-of-entry) filter treats every drop as it enters the plumbing, so drinking, bathing, cooking, and laundry water is cleaner, tastes better, and is gentler on skin, appliances, and fixtures. It also lengthens the life of water heaters and pipes by minimizing scale and corrosive contaminants.

What specific contaminants can your systems remove in the Ten Mile area?

Our filtration packages are customized after a free in-home water test. Typical solutions include: • Sediment pre-filters to trap sand, rust, and silt • Carbon blocks or catalytic carbon to reduce chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, and bad tastes/odors • Water softeners or scale control media for hardness minerals (calcium & magnesium) • Iron/sulfur filters using air-induction or manganese dioxide to eliminate metallic taste, orange staining, and “rotten-egg” odor • UV disinfection to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and cysts if the test shows microbiological risk (common with private wells in rural Ten Mile)

How is a whole-home filter installed and will it fit my existing plumbing?

Installation is done at the main water line—usually where it enters the basement, crawlspace, or utility room. Our licensed plumbers shut off the water, cut a short section of pipe, and plumb the filtration manifold with bypass valves for easy service. Most homes have adequate space; if clearance is tight, we offer compact or wall-mounted units. Typical installation takes 3–5 hours and you’ll have water back the same day. All work meets Tennessee state plumbing codes.

What maintenance will I need to perform after installation?

Maintenance is straightforward: • Sediment or carbon cartridges: replace every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and household usage. • Back-washing media tanks (iron, sulfur, carbon upflow): the control valve automatically regenerates; you simply add salt (if a softener) or schedule our annual service check. • UV lamps: change the bulb once a year and clean the quartz sleeve. We provide a reminder program and offer affordable service plans if you prefer a technician to handle everything.

What does a whole-house filtration system cost and do you offer financing?

Because each Ten Mile home’s water chemistry and flow rate are different, prices vary. Basic cartridge systems start around $700 installed, while multi-stage setups with softening, iron removal, and UV can range from $2,500–$4,500. We provide a written quote after testing your water. Zero-interest financing for 6 or 12 months and longer-term low-APR plans up to 60 months are available with approved credit, so you can enjoy clean water now and pay over time.

What kind of warranty and local support do you provide?

All equipment carries a manufacturer’s warranty—typically 10 years on mineral tanks, 5 years on control valves, and 1 year on replaceable parts. Our plumbing workmanship is guaranteed for 1 year, and we live here in the Ten Mile area, so service calls are handled quickly—usually within 24–48 hours. Extended protection plans can add parts & labor coverage for up to 10 years for worry-free ownership.
