FAQs
What advanced water purification technologies do you install for homes and businesses in Birchwood?
We specialize in multi-stage reverse osmosis (RO) systems paired with ultraviolet (UV-C) sterilization and smart remineralization cartridges. These systems remove up to 99.9% of contaminantsâincluding lead, PFAS, chlorine, pesticides, bacteria, and virusesâwhile adding back healthy minerals for balanced pH and improved taste. All units feature IoT monitoring that tracks filter life, water quality, and usage in real time via a mobile app.
How do I know which purification system is right for my Birchwood property?
Our process starts with a complimentary on-site water analysis. We test for hardness, heavy metals, total dissolved solids (TDS), microbiological contaminants, and local Birchwood-specific issues such as elevated iron from well sources. Based on the report, we recommend a tailored solutionâranging from point-of-entry whole-house systems to under-sink point-of-use RO unitsâconsidering water chemistry, flow rate needs, space, and budget.
Will a whole-house system reduce water pressure or require major plumbing changes?
No. We design systems to match your existing flow rates. High-efficiency variable-speed pumps and appropriately sized pre-filters ensure pressure loss is typically less than 3 psiâimperceptible for most users. Installation usually ties into your main supply line without extensive pipe rerouting. Our licensed plumbers in Birchwood complete most whole-house installations within one day.
How often will I need to replace filters, and can I do it myself?
Pre-filters generally need replacement every 6â12 months, RO membranes every 24â36 months, and UV lamps annually. Your exact schedule varies with water usage and quality; the smart system will send notifications when service is due. Most customers perform cartridge changes themselvesâno tools requiredâbut we offer affordable maintenance plans that include annual inspections, filter swaps, and performance re-testing.
What certifications and warranties back your water purification products?
All core components are NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 58, and 401 certified for contaminant removal. Our UV chambers are validated to NSF/ANSI 55 Class A standards. We provide a 10-year warranty on housings, a 5-year warranty on electronic controls, and a 3-year warranty on RO membranes. Labor for installations performed by our Birchwood technicians is guaranteed for two years.
How cost-effective is advanced purification compared with buying bottled water?
For a family of four, bottled water typically costs $600â$1,000 per year. A premium under-sink RO/UV system installed by us averages $1,250, with annual consumable costs around $120. Over five years, thatâs roughly $1,850 versus $3,000â$5,000 for bottled waterâsaving 40â60%. Plus, you reduce plastic waste by over 7,000 single-use bottles and gain unlimited purified water for cooking, ice, and appliances.
