FAQs
Why would I need a water-purification system in Allardt if the city already treats the water?
Municipal treatment in Allardt meets federal safety standards, but those standards are designed for the general population and focus on broad health risks, not necessarily on taste, odor, or trace contaminants. Chlorine and chloramine used for disinfection can leave the water with an off-taste or smell, while aging pipes can introduce metals such as lead, copper, or iron on the way to your tap. A point-of-use or whole-house purification system adds an extra layer of protection, polishing the water, removing residual chemicals, and giving you control over the final quality your family actually consumes.
What contaminants can Crystal-Clear Water Plumbing systems remove from my water?
Our solutions target a wide spectrum of impurities commonly found in the Upper Cumberland region:• Dissolved metals (lead, iron, manganese) • Hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) • Chlorine/chloramine and their by-products • Volatile organic compounds (pesticides, herbicides, industrial solvents) • Micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, cysts) • Sediment, rust, and turbidity that cloud water • Offensive tastes and odors caused by sulfur or decaying organic matter. The exact removal capability depends on the technology selected—carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, UV sterilization, or a multi-stage hybrid system.
Which purification technology is best for my Allardt home—reverse osmosis, UV, or something else?
It depends on your water-quality goals and plumbing layout. • Reverse Osmosis (RO) delivers the highest contaminant reduction rate—up to 99% of dissolved solids—but is usually installed at a kitchen sink for drinking and cooking water. • UV sterilizers excel at killing bacteria and viruses, making them ideal for homes on private wells or with immune-compromised residents; they are typically paired with sediment and carbon pre-filters. • Whole-house catalytic carbon and KDF filters are great for removing chlorine, chemicals, and sulfur odors across every tap, protecting skin and appliances. During our free on-site assessment, we test your water and recommend a single technology or a layered system that balances purity, flow rate, and budget.
How often will I need to replace filters or membranes?
Service intervals vary by system and water use, but these are general guidelines: • Sediment pre-filters: every 6–12 months. • Carbon cartridges: every 9–18 months, depending on chlorine level. • RO membranes: 2–3 years with proper pre-filtration. • UV lamps: annually (the glass sleeve is cleaned or replaced as needed). • Water softener resin or catalytic media: 8–10 years. We label each unit with its installation date and include reminder notifications. Our maintenance plans include scheduled visits, discounted parts, and post-service water testing so you never have to track the dates yourself.
Will installing a purification system reduce my water pressure or flow?
Modern equipment is engineered to minimize pressure drop. Whole-house back-washing filters use high-capacity media and 1" bypass valves that keep pressure loss under 3–5 psi. Point-of-use RO faucets deliver about 0.8–1.0 gpm—adequate for filling pots and glasses. For large families or multi-bath homes, we size the system based on your peak flow rate (gallons per minute) to ensure showers, laundry, and irrigation remain unaffected. If your current pressure is already low, we can integrate a booster pump to maintain comfortable flow throughout the house.
Do you offer water testing and ongoing maintenance plans?
Yes. We start with a complimentary basic test (hardness, TDS, chlorine, iron, pH). For more detailed insight we partner with a state-certified lab that can screen for lead, arsenic, VOCs, and bacteria. After installation you can enroll in our Crystal-Care Plan, which includes: • Annual or semi-annual filter changes • UV lamp replacement • Resin/media regeneration or swap-out • System sanitization • 10-point plumbing inspection • Priority scheduling and 15% off parts. Routine maintenance not only guarantees peak performance but also maintains manufacturer warranties and extends equipment life, protecting your investment for years to come.
