FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install and service in Lookout Mountain?
We work with a full range of residential and light-commercial purification technologies, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water units, water softeners, UV disinfection lamps, iron and sulfur removal systems, and point-of-use specialty filters. All products we supply are NSF/ANSI certified and sized specifically for Lookout Mountain’s water chemistry and flow-rate requirements.
How do I determine which water purification system is best for my home or business?
Start with a free on-site water test. We measure hardness, chlorine/chloramine, pH, total dissolved solids, iron, sulfur, and bacteria indicators. We also look at household size, plumbing layout, flow demands, and space constraints. Using this data, our licensed plumbers recommend one or a combination of systems that meet your water-quality goals, guarantee adequate pressure, and fit your budget. We provide a written report and quote so you can make an informed choice.
Is the municipal water in Lookout Mountain already safe to drink?
Chattanooga Valley Utility District treats water to federal standards before it reaches Lookout Mountain taps, but many residents still notice chlorine taste, mineral scaling, or staining from trace iron. A point-of-entry or point-of-use purification system offers an extra layer of protection against potential distribution-line contaminants, improves taste and odor, and protects plumbing fixtures from scale buildup. Private well owners especially benefit from filtration to address iron, sulfur, and microbial concerns unique to our sandstone aquifer.
What routine maintenance does a water purification system require?
Maintenance depends on the technology: • Whole-house carbon filters: media change every 5–7 years. • RO units: pre/post filters every 6–12 months; membrane every 2–4 years. • Water softeners: add salt pellets as needed and schedule an annual valve check. • UV disinfection: lamp replacement once a year and quartz sleeve cleaning. We offer customizable service plans that include reminders, discounted parts, and water-quality retesting to keep your system performing like new.
How long does installation take and will my water service be interrupted?
Most single-family installations are completed in 3–6 hours. Our crew arrives with pre-assembled manifolds to minimize downtime. We turn water off only during the final cut-in (typically 30–45 minutes). For larger homes or commercial sites requiring multiple units or extensive rerouting, we may schedule a second day. All work is permitted, inspected, and followed by a pressure/leak test and customer orientation before we leave.
What does a water purification system cost and are there financing or rebates available in Lookout Mountain?
Pricing varies with capacity and technology. As a rough guide: high-capacity carbon filters start around $1,200 installed, RO drinking systems $600–$900, and whole-house softener-filtration combos $2,000–$3,500. We partner with GreenSky for 0% interest plans up to 18 months and low-payment options up to 84 months. Tennessee’s EnergyRight program occasionally offers rebates for high-efficiency softeners, and we handle the paperwork. Every quote includes equipment, labor, tax, first-year service, and a parts-and-labor warranty.
