FAQs
Why is water purification important for Philadelphia homes and businesses?
Philadelphia’s drinking water originates primarily from the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. Although the municipal supply meets federal safety standards, it still contains chlorine, chloramines, dissolved minerals, trace pharmaceuticals, and, in some neighborhoods with older plumbing, the potential for lead contamination. A dedicated purification system removes these impurities at the point of entry or use, giving you cleaner-tasting water, protecting plumbing fixtures from scale, and safeguarding family members with sensitive immune systems.
What kinds of water purification systems do you install and service?
We design, install, and maintain a full range of treatment technologies, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) systems, under-sink RO drinking stations, UV disinfection units, water softeners for hardness control, and combination systems that target multiple contaminants. All equipment is NSF/ANSI-certified and selected to match Philadelphia water chemistry and flow-rate requirements.
How can I tell which purification solution is right for my property?
Every installation starts with a complimentary on-site water analysis. We test for chlorine, pH, hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), heavy metals, and bacteria. Results are reviewed with you on the spot, and our licensed plumber will recommend options based on contaminant profile, household size, flow demand, and budget. You receive a written proposal outlining equipment specifications, warranty coverage, and operating costs before any work begins.
Does a purification system require ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Pre-filters and carbon cartridges generally need replacement every 6–12 months, while RO membranes last 2–3 years depending on usage and feed-water quality. UV lamps must be changed annually to maintain germicidal intensity. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include scheduled filter changes, system sanitization, and performance checks. Regular upkeep not only guarantees water quality but also extends equipment life and preserves manufacturer warranties.
How long will installation take, and will my water service be interrupted?
Most under-sink or point-of-use systems are completed in 1–2 hours. Whole-house units typically take 3–5 hours, including plumbing tie-ins, pressure testing, and start-up flushing. Water is shut off only during the final connection phase—usually 15–30 minutes—so disruption is minimal. Our team protects floors and work areas, obtains any required City of Philadelphia permits, and removes all packaging when the job is complete.
Are there rebates, tax incentives, or financing options available in Philadelphia?
Yes. Certain high-efficiency reverse osmosis systems qualify for manufacturer rebates of up to $150. The Philadelphia Water Department’s Green City, Clean Waters program periodically offers credits for commercial properties installing approved filtration to reduce discharge pollutants. We also provide 0%-interest financing for up to 12 months on qualifying installations, subject to credit approval. Our office staff will guide you through all paperwork to maximize savings and ensure compliance with local regulations.
