FAQs
What advantages does a reverse-osmosis (RO) system offer for homes and businesses in Turtletown?
RO systems remove up to 99% of dissolved salts, heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants commonly found in municipal or well water. In Turtletown, where water hardness and traces of iron are frequent concerns, an RO unit delivers bottled-water quality straight from the tap, improves taste and odor, protects ice makers, coffee machines, and humidifiers, and lowers reliance on single-use plastic bottles.
How is an RO unit installed, and will it fit under my existing sink?
Most residential systems are compact enough to mount under a standard 36-inch kitchen sink. Our licensed plumbers evaluate cabinet space, drill a dedicated faucet hole if needed, connect the RO feed line to your cold-water supply, and install the drain saddle on the sink’s waste line. We also offer basement, garage, or utility-room setups with a booster pump if space is limited. Installation typically takes 2–3 hours and is 100% code-compliant for Polk County (Turtletown) plumbing regulations.
What maintenance is required and how often should I change the filters?
RO units use three to five stages of filtration. Prefilters (sediment and carbon) should be replaced every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage. The RO membrane lasts 2–5 years, and the post-carbon polishing filter is usually swapped annually. Our service plans include scheduled filter changes, system sanitization, pressure-tank checks, and a complimentary water test to ensure optimum performance.
How much water and electricity does an RO system consume?
A well-designed RO unit produces about 1 gallon of purified water for every 3–4 gallons sent to drain—a ratio that can be improved with optional permeate-pump or zero-waste upgrades. The system itself is non-electric; only add-ons such as pressure-boost pumps or UV sterilizers use power (roughly 25–35 watts, similar to an LED light bulb).
Will reverse osmosis strip beneficial minerals from my water?
RO removes most dissolved solids—both harmful (lead, arsenic) and beneficial (calcium, magnesium). Because many Turtletown residents prefer mineralized water, we offer optional remineralization cartridges. These add back food-grade calcium and magnesium to achieve a balanced pH and a pleasant, crisp taste, mimicking high-quality spring water.
How much does a complete RO installation cost in Turtletown and what warranties are included?
A standard under-sink RO package—including professional installation, NSF-certified 5-stage system, dedicated faucet, and first-year filter set—starts around $650. Whole-house RO units begin at $2,800, depending on flow rate and storage capacity. All systems carry a 1-year labor warranty, 3-year tank warranty, and 5-year warranty on the RO membrane housing and fittings. Extended service plans are available for ongoing maintenance and priority support.
