FAQs

Why is water purification especially important for homes and businesses in Birchwood?

Birchwood’s municipal supply is safe to drink, but like most groundwater-sourced systems it still carries moderate hardness, trace minerals such as iron and manganese, and periodic sediment stirred up by line maintenance. A point-of-use or whole-house purification system removes these residual contaminants, improves taste and odor, protects plumbing from scale build-up, and provides an extra barrier against any boil-water alerts that can occur after storms. In short, purification gives you consistent, bottle-quality water while prolonging the life of your pipes, fixtures, and appliances.

What kinds of water purification systems does Every Drop Counts Plumbing offer and install?

We supply and professionally install a full range of NSF-certified solutions, including (1) whole-house carbon filtration for chlorine, chloramines, and organics; (2) water softeners that exchange calcium and magnesium ions to stop hardness scale; (3) reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking water units that remove up to 99% of dissolved solids, lead, and nitrates; (4) UV sterilizers that inactivate bacteria and viruses without chemicals; and (5) specialty filters for iron, sulfur, or tannins common in some private wells around Birchwood. Systems can be mixed and matched to create a custom multi-stage treatment train for your exact water profile.

How do I determine which purification system is right for my property?

The first step is a free onsite water analysis performed by our licensed plumbers. We test hardness, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), iron, manganese, chlorine, and bacteria (if well water). We also assess household size, flow rate requirements, space constraints, and budget. Using those results we prepare a written recommendation that ranks options by effectiveness and cost-of-ownership. You receive clear data sheets and can see demonstrations of taste and scale reduction. Because we are brand-agnostic, our advice focuses solely on meeting your needs, not moving a particular product line.

How often will my purification system need service or filter changes?

Service intervals vary by technology and water usage, but as a rule of thumb: RO pre-filters and carbon filters are changed every 6–12 months; RO membranes last 2–4 years; whole-house carbon media is replaced every 3–5 years; softener resin requires only salt top-ups, with resin rebedding every 10–15 years; and UV lamps are swapped annually. We include a maintenance calendar with each installation and offer affordable service plans that provide automatic reminders, discounted cartridges, and annual system sanitization so you never have to track dates yourself.

Will purified water really make a difference to my plumbing fixtures and appliances?

Yes. Removing hardness minerals prevents white scale from forming on faucets, showerheads, and glassware, extending fixture life and reducing cleaning time. Appliances such as water heaters, dishwashers, and coffee makers operate more efficiently and can last up to 30% longer when scale is minimized. Eliminating sediment and iron also protects valve seals, reduces pipe corrosion, and keeps aerators from clogging. Over time the savings on energy and replacement parts often exceed the cost of the purification system.

What does installation involve and how much does it cost with Every Drop Counts Plumbing?

A typical under-sink RO setup is completed in about two hours and starts around $525 installed, including the first set of filters. Whole-house systems take 4–6 hours depending on plumbing access and range from $1,200 for a single-stage carbon unit to $3,500+ for multi-stage softener/filtration combos with UV. All quotes are flat-rate and include labor, materials, permits (if required), and a one-year workmanship warranty. Financing options with low monthly payments are available. We schedule installations at your convenience, handle post-installation testing, and register all equipment warranties for you.
