FAQs
What specific contaminants will a modern whole-home water purification system remove from Allardt’s municipal or well water?
Our multi-stage purification systems target the contaminants most frequently detected in Fentress County testing reports, including chlorine/chloramine, hydrogen sulfide (the "rotten-egg" smell often found in local wells), iron, manganese, lead, agricultural pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and microbial cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The system’s sediment pre-filter removes sand and silt, catalytic carbon captures chemicals and unpleasant tastes/odors, while a high-capacity media bed or reverse-osmosis membrane polishes the water to near-bottle quality.
How does the technology in your purification units differ from a simple pitcher filter?
Pitcher or faucet filters rely on a single, small carbon cartridge that treats only a few gallons per day and can miss dissolved metals or microscopic microorganisms. Our professionally installed solution combines graded sediment filtration, catalytic or coconut-shell activated carbon, KDF redox media, optional UV sterilization, and/or a point-of-entry reverse-osmosis module. Integrated smart valves monitor flow, self-clean during back-flush cycles, and send alerts to your phone when service is due—delivering purified water to every tap, shower, and appliance, not just one drinking glass.
What maintenance is required and how often?
Most homeowners only need to replace the sediment pre-filter every 6–12 months and the carbon or KDF media every 5 years, depending on usage and water quality. Our smart head units track gallons processed and automatically schedule a regeneration or back-wash cycle. If you choose the UV option, the lamp is replaced yearly. We provide an optional service plan in which a licensed Allardt plumber performs all maintenance checks, tests your water, and documents performance during a brief annual visit.
Will the installation disrupt my water service or existing plumbing?
A standard point-of-entry system installs where the main line enters your home—often in a basement, crawlspace, or utility room. Our technicians first perform a site survey to ensure proper clearances, then complete most installations in 3–5 hours. Water is typically shut off for less than 30 minutes while we tie into the main. No walls are opened and no fixtures are removed; once pressurized, you’ll have purified water throughout the house immediately.
How much does a complete system cost and are there financing or rebates?
Pricing depends on flow rate requirements and whether you choose optional reverse osmosis or UV. For a typical 2-bath Allardt home, turnkey installation ranges from $1,800 to $3,200. Larger homes or RO add-ons can reach $4,500. We offer 0% interest financing for up to 18 months and accept TVA EnergyRight rebates when high-efficiency softening is bundled. Because our systems qualify for NSF/ANSI 58 and 61 standards, some homeowners’ insurance policies provide premium discounts—ask your agent.
What environmental benefits do these modern systems provide compared with buying bottled water?
By purifying water at the source, the average household can eliminate roughly 1,500 single-use plastic bottles per year, reducing landfill waste and transport-related carbon emissions. Our components are designed for longevity—the stainless steel pressure vessels carry a lifetime warranty, and spent filter media are recyclable. Automated back-wash cycles use as little as 30 gallons, far less than the water footprint of manufacturing bottled water. In short, you enjoy clean, great-tasting water while dramatically shrinking your ecological footprint.
