FAQs
What contaminants can Peace of Mind Plumbing’s water-purification systems remove from Philadelphia tap water?
Our systems are designed to target the most common issues found in Philadelphia’s water supply, including chlorine and chloramine disinfectants, sediment, metals such as lead and copper that can leach from older service lines, industrial pollutants like VOCs, agricultural run-off nitrates, and emerging contaminants such as PFAS. By combining multi-stage carbon filtration with reverse osmosis (RO) or ultraviolet (UV) sterilization when needed, we can reduce up to 99% of these impurities, giving you cleaner, better-tasting, and safer water at every tap.
If the Philadelphia Water Department already treats the water, why would I need an additional purification system?
The city delivers water that meets federal standards, but those standards allow trace levels of contaminants, and water can pick up new impurities as it travels through aging mains and the lead or galvanized pipes still found in many Philadelphia homes. A point-of-use (under-sink) or whole-house purification system acts as a final barrier, removing residual chemicals, lead, and other substances right before the water reaches you. It also improves taste and odor by stripping out chlorine/chloramine that the city adds for disinfection.
What types of purification systems do you install, and how do I know which one is right for my home?
We offer under-sink reverse-osmosis systems, whole-house carbon or catalytic filtration units, combination RO/UV systems for well-water customers outside city limits, and specialty cartridges for lead, iron, or PFAS removal. During a free on-site water assessment we test for pH, hardness, chlorine, TDS, and metals, review your plumbing layout, and discuss water-usage habits. Based on those results and your budget, we recommend a tailored solution that balances contaminant removal, flow rate, footprint, and maintenance frequency.
How long does installation take and will my water be shut off?
A typical under-sink RO unit is installed in about 2–3 hours, while a whole-house filter generally requires half a day. We shut the water off only at the point of connection—usually 30–60 minutes—so disruption is minimal. Our licensed plumbers protect floors, clean up thoroughly, and test the system before leaving. In most cases you’ll have fully purified water the same day we arrive.
What maintenance is required and do you offer service plans?
Cartridges in carbon or sediment filters need replacement every 6–12 months; RO membranes last 2–3 years; UV lamps should be changed yearly. We label each system with recommended dates and send automatic reminders. Peace of Mind Plumbing offers affordable annual and bi-annual service plans that include filter changes, sanitizer flushes, pressure checks, and water-quality testing. Enrolling in a plan extends manufacturer warranties and provides priority scheduling should any issues arise.
How much does a water-purification system cost and are financing options available?
Pricing depends on capacity and technology: under-sink RO systems start around $650 installed, while whole-house multi-stage systems range from $1,500 to $3,500. Custom packages for large homes or specialized contaminant removal can be higher. We provide up-front, written estimates with no hidden fees, and all equipment comes with manufacturer and labor warranties. Peace of Mind Plumbing partners with several financing providers, offering 0% interest promotional plans and low-monthly-payment options so you can enjoy safer water now and pay over time.
