FAQs

Why is follow-up maintenance essential for my water purification system in Washburn?

Even the best filtration or softening equipment loses efficiency over time as cartridges clog, resins foul, or UV lamps lose intensity. Regular maintenance keeps flow rates high, ensures contaminants remain below EPA limits, and extends the life of costly components. Washburn’s municipal supply contains moderate hardness and seasonal iron fluctuations, so periodic check-ups prevent scale build-up and staining while protecting plumbing and appliances.

How often should my system be serviced under Washburn’s water conditions?

For most whole-house systems we recommend a comprehensive tune-up every 12 months. Drinking-water RO units usually need service every 6–9 months, mainly to replace sediment and carbon pre-filters. Homes with private wells or higher iron levels may benefit from semi-annual visits. After the first inspection we’ll tailor a schedule based on actual filter loading, family size, and water-quality data.

What is included in your standard maintenance visit?

1. On-site water analysis: hardness, TDS, iron, pH, chlorine and bacteria check. 2. Visual inspection of tanks, housings, valves and plumbing connections for leaks or corrosion. 3. Filter, membrane or media replacement as required (we stock OEM parts on the truck). 4. Disinfection of RO storage tanks and sanitization of filter housings. 5. UV system lamp countdown reset or bulb swap and sleeve cleaning. 6. Flow-rate and pressure readings to verify the system is working within spec. 7. Written report with test results, parts used and recommendations for the next service.

Do I need to shut off my water or prepare anything before the technician arrives?

No special preparation is necessary. Our licensed plumbers will isolate and depressurize only the section we’re working on, so you’ll have water everywhere else in the house. The only thing we ask is clear access to the treatment equipment—usually in a basement, utility room or crawl space—and that pets be secured for everyone’s safety.

How will I know it’s time to change filters or UV lamps between visits?

We install color-coded reminder stickers on each unit and leave you with a simple reference chart. Many of our systems also have built-in pressure gauges or electronic countdown timers that beep or flash when a filter is nearing the end of its life. If you notice slower flow, unusual taste, or the UV alarm sounding, call us and we’ll schedule a prompt service call—often the same day within the Washburn area.

Are there additional costs or long-term contracts for your maintenance service?

We offer both pay-as-you-go visits and discounted annual plans. The flat visit fee covers travel anywhere in Washburn, testing, labor and up to 15 minutes of diagnostic time. Replacement parts are billed at transparent, upfront prices—no hidden surcharges. Annual plan members receive 10% off parts, priority scheduling during peak seasons, and automatic reminders so you never miss a service window. There is no multi-year obligation; you can cancel anytime without penalties.
