FAQs
Why is water purification especially important for homes and businesses in Tellico Plains?
Although Tellico Plains benefits from generally good municipal and well-water sources, the area’s naturally high mineral content, aging plumbing infrastructure, and occasional agricultural runoff can introduce excess iron, sulfur, sediment, and trace contaminants into tap water. A properly designed purification system removes these impurities, resulting in better-tasting water, longer appliance life, cleaner laundry, and added protection for family members with sensitive immune systems.
What types of water purification systems do you install and service?
Our licensed plumbers design, install, and maintain a full range of systems: whole-house carbon filtration, reverse-osmosis (RO) units, water softeners, iron/sulfur reduction filters, UV disinfection lights, and remineralization stages for balanced pH. We can integrate systems for municipal, well, or rain-harvested water sources, giving you a tailored solution rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
How do I determine which purification system is right for my property?
We begin with a complimentary on-site water analysis that measures hardness, TDS, pH, iron, sulfur, chlorine, and bacterial presence. After discussing your water-use habits, budget, and space constraints, we present side-by-side options that outline performance, maintenance, and long-term operating costs. Our goal is to match you with the simplest system that reliably meets your water-quality targets without over-complicating things or inflating your utility bills.
How often will my purification system need maintenance or filter changes?
Service intervals vary by technology and local water conditions, but typical schedules are: carbon block filters every 6–12 months, RO membranes every 2–3 years, softener resin re-charge salt monthly, UV bulbs annually, and iron/sulfur media every 3–5 years. We offer customizable maintenance plans that include automatic reminders, discounted filter packs, and priority service so you never have to track dates or shipment lead-times yourself.
Can you retrofit a water purification system into my existing plumbing without major renovations?
Yes. Most single-point (under-sink) RO systems install in a few hours with minimal cutting. Whole-house filtration can usually be added near your main water entry line in the crawl-space, basement, or utility closet. Our plumbers use quick-connect fittings and code-approved bypass valves, so your water service is interrupted for only a short time and walls remain intact. We also coordinate any required electrical outlets or drain connections.
What should I expect regarding cost and installation timeframe?
Single-tap RO units start around $600 installed, while whole-house combo systems (softener + carbon + UV) range from $2,000–$5,500 depending on flow rate and media capacity. After your water analysis, we provide a written quote valid for 30 days. Standard installations in Tellico Plains take 2–6 hours, and we schedule at your convenience, often within a week of approval. Financing options, manufacturer warranties, and our workmanship guarantee are included to give you full peace of mind.
