FAQs
How can a water purification system help lower my utility bills in Washburn?
High-efficiency water purification systems remove minerals and contaminants that cause scale buildup inside pipes, water heaters, and appliances. With less scale, your water heater doesn’t have to work as hard to heat water, faucets maintain full flow, and appliances like dishwashers run more efficiently—reducing both energy and water consumption. Over time, these efficiency gains translate into noticeably lower monthly utility bills.
What types of water purification systems do you install for Washburn homes?
We offer point-of-entry (whole-house) systems such as high-capacity carbon filters, water softeners, and combination filtration/conditioning units. For drinking water, we install point-of-use reverse-osmosis (RO) systems and advanced under-sink filters. Our technicians test your household’s water first, then recommend the solution—or mix of solutions—that best addresses Washburn’s common issues like hard water, iron, and agricultural runoff.
Is Washburn’s municipal water really that hard, and do I need both a softener and a filter?
Yes. Washburn’s water typically tests between 18–22 grains per gallon, which is classified as very hard. Hard water causes scale and reduces appliance efficiency, while a carbon or RO filter targets chlorine, pesticides, and other impurities that affect taste and health. Pairing a softener with a filtration stage gives you scale-free plumbing and cleaner, better-tasting water in every tap.
How long does installation take, and will my water service be interrupted?
Most residential whole-house purification or softening systems can be installed in 4–6 hours. We shut off water only during the cut-in phase—usually less than 30 minutes—so disruption is minimal. For RO drinking-water units, installation typically takes 1–2 hours with no noticeable downtime for the rest of the home.
What maintenance is required, and can I handle it myself?
Routine maintenance includes replacing pre-filters every 6–12 months, adding softener salt periodically, and changing RO membranes about every 2–3 years. Many homeowners handle filter and salt changes themselves; however, we offer affordable annual service plans that include water-quality testing, system sanitization, and part replacements to keep everything running at peak efficiency—and to protect your utility-bill savings.
Do your systems come with a warranty, and what kind of support do you provide?
Every purification system we install carries a manufacturer’s warranty—typically 5–10 years on tanks and valves and 1–3 years on electronic controls. We supplement this with our own one-year labor warranty and a lifetime workmanship guarantee on plumbing connections. If you ever have questions, our local Washburn support team is available 24/7 for troubleshooting, filter re-orders, and emergency service.
