FAQs

What water quality issues are common in Tullahoma, and how can a licensed plumber help?

Tullahoma’s municipal supply is generally safe, but residents frequently report hard-water scale, chlorine taste and odor, iron staining, and occasional sediment from older service lines. A licensed plumber can perform an on-site water test, interpret the results, and recommend targeted solutions—such as whole-house carbon filtration for chlorine, softeners for hardness, or sediment pre-filters for particulate matter—while ensuring all work meets Tennessee plumbing and health codes.

Which types of water purification systems do you install, and how do I choose the right one?

We install point-of-entry (whole-house) systems like water softeners, carbon or catalytic backwashing filters, UV sterilizers, and anti-scale conditioners, as well as point-of-use devices such as reverse osmosis (RO) units and dedicated drinking-water faucets. Selection is based on a professional water analysis, your household’s flow rate and usage, space constraints, and budget. Our plumbers explain the pros, cons, ongoing costs, and expected contaminant removal for each option so you can make an informed decision.

Are your plumbers certified to work on backflow prevention and drinking-water systems?

Yes. All technicians hold current Tennessee Journeyman or Master Plumbing licenses and are certified in cross-connection/backflow prevention. This means they are qualified to size, install, test, and maintain devices that protect the potable supply from contamination—an essential requirement when integrating purification equipment into your home’s plumbing.

What is involved in the professional installation of a reverse osmosis (RO) system in my home?

Installation starts with choosing an accessible location—usually under the kitchen sink or in a basement utility area. Your plumber will: 1) tap into the cold-water line with a code-approved valve, 2) install a pre-filter, RO membrane housing, and storage tank, 3) run dedicated tubing to a new purified-water faucet and optional refrigerator/ice maker, 4) route the system’s drain line with an air-gap fitting to prevent backflow, 5) sanitize, pressurize, and leak-test the unit, and 6) document the equipment for warranty and future service. The process typically takes 2–3 hours with minimal disruption.

How often will my water purification equipment need maintenance, and do you offer service plans?

Maintenance intervals vary by system and water conditions. Carbon cartridges typically last 6–12 months, RO pre-filters 6 months, RO membranes 2–5 years, and softener resin regeneration salt is added as needed. UV lamps must be replaced annually to maintain disinfection efficacy. We offer affordable annual or semi-annual service plans that include filter changes, equipment sanitization, performance testing, and documentation to keep your warranty intact and your water quality consistent.

What does a typical water purification project cost in Tullahoma, and what factors influence price?

Pricing ranges widely: point-of-use RO systems start around $450–$750 installed, whole-house carbon filters $900–$1,800, and premium multi-stage or softener/RO combos $2,000–$4,500. Costs depend on water test results, required flow rate, equipment size, installer labor, necessary plumbing modifications, and optional features such as Wi-Fi monitoring or stainless housings. We provide free on-site estimates that break down equipment, labor, and any permit fees so there are no surprises.
