FAQs
What water quality problems are most common in Tullahoma and the surrounding Coffee & Franklin County area?
Municipal and well-water tests in Tullahoma often show moderately hard water (6â10 gpg), elevated chlorine/chloramine from city disinfection, and occasional iron, sulfur, or sediment in private wells. Agricultural run-off can also introduce nitrates and pesticides. Our water purification solutions are selected to target these exact issuesâremoving hardness minerals, neutralizing chlorine taste/odor, and filtering out metals, chemicals, and microbes.
Which types of water purification systems do you install and how do they work?
We offer three main categories: 1) Whole-house carbon or catalytic filters to trap chlorine, chloramine, VOCs, and sulfur; 2) Water softeners that use ion exchange resin to swap calcium/magnesium for sodium or potassium, eliminating scale; 3) Point-of-use reverse osmosis (RO) units that push water through a semi-permeable membrane to remove up to 99% of dissolved solids, lead, arsenic, and pharmaceuticals. Many homes combine a softener or filter for the entire plumbing network with an RO faucet for drinking and cooking.
How do I determine the right system for my home?
Start with a complimentary on-site water analysis. We test hardness, iron, pH, TDS, chlorine, and more. We also measure household water usage and consider the number of bathrooms. From those results we size the correct media tank or RO membrane, discuss your taste and health goals, and present clear pricing options. Because every homeâs water chemistry is different, this data-driven approach prevents over- or under-sizing equipment and ensures you only pay for the performance you need.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
Most whole-house systems install in half a day. We mount the tank or cabinet near your main water line, connect with PEX or copper, add a bypass valve, and program the control head. A reverse osmosis system typically takes 90 minutes and fits under the kitchen sink with a dedicated faucet. All work is performed by our licensed, bonded plumbers, and we leave your home as clean as we found it. Same-week scheduling is usually available for Tullahoma residents.
How much maintenance will I have and what does it cost?
Water softener salt refills average one 40-lb bag per month for a family of four (about $7â$10). The control valve self-cleans automatically. Carbon or catalytic filter media lasts 5â7 years before replacement. RO systems need inexpensive pre-filters every 6â12 months and a membrane every 3â5 years. We offer annual service plans that include testing, filter changes, and a full system checkup for one predictable price.
Do your systems come with warranties or certifications?
Yes. All major components carry a manufacturerâs warrantyâ10 years on mineral tanks, 5 years on valves, and 3â5 years on RO membranes. We also provide a one-year labor warranty covering installation workmanship. The equipment we install is NSF/ANSI certified for contaminant reduction claims, and our company is fully licensed and insured in Tennessee, so you have complete peace of mind.
