FAQs
What makes your drinking water systems “gourmet-grade” compared to standard filters?
Our systems combine multi-stage reverse osmosis, catalytic carbon polishing, and remineralization to deliver water that meets or exceeds the flavor profile and purity standards of premium bottled waters. Unlike basic carbon filters that remove only chlorine and sediment, our gourmet-grade solution tackles dissolved solids, micro-contaminants, and taste-altering gases, then finishes the water with food-grade calcium and magnesium so it tastes crisp and balanced right from the tap.
Is Tracy City’s municipal water really in need of additional purification?
Tracy City’s water meets federal safety limits, but many residents notice hardness, mild sulfur odors, and fluctuating mineral content due to the local limestone aquifer. These issues can affect taste and beverage preparation. Our purification packages are designed specifically for the region’s water chemistry, removing excess hardness, neutralizing sulfur compounds, and stabilizing pH so you consistently enjoy clean, great-tasting water.
How is the system installed in my home or business?
Installation usually takes 2–4 hours. We connect the purification module to the cold-water line under your kitchen sink or to a dedicated manifold for whole-house applications. A separate lead-free faucet is mounted on the countertop, and optional fridge/ice-maker lines can be tee-connected. All work is performed by our licensed, insured plumbers who pull any required Tracy City permits and pressure-test the plumbing to ensure leak-free operation.
What ongoing maintenance is required and how often?
Sediment and carbon pre-filters are replaced every 6–12 months, depending on household usage and local water quality. The reverse-osmosis membrane typically lasts 3–5 years, while the remineralization cartridge is changed annually. We offer an affordable service plan that includes scheduled filter changes, system sanitization, and performance testing so you never have to track dates or handle cartridges yourself.
How much water is wasted during reverse osmosis, and can that be reduced?
Traditional RO systems discharge 3–4 gallons of brine for every gallon of purified water. Our high-efficiency membranes and permeate-pump technology cut waste by up to 75%, achieving ratios as low as 1:1. For eco-minded customers, we can plumb the brine line to a gray-water drain for irrigation or toilet flushing, further minimizing environmental impact.
What does a gourmet-grade system cost, and are financing options available?
A point-of-use (under-sink) system starts around $895 installed, while whole-house configurations range from $3,200 to $5,800 depending on flow rate and pre-treatment needs. We partner with local credit unions in Tracy City to offer 0% introductory financing for up to 18 months, and our systems qualify for Tennessee’s sales-tax exemption on water-conservation equipment, saving you an additional 9.25% at checkout.
