FAQs

What types of water purification systems do you install in Cookeville?

We install a full range of residential and light-commercial purification products, including whole-house carbon filters, reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking water systems, water softeners, UV disinfection units, iron/sulfur removal filters, and specialty cartridges for lead, PFAS, and chlorine by-products. All equipment is NSF/ANSI-certified and sized specifically for Cookeville’s municipal or well-water chemistry.

How do I know which water treatment option is right for my home?

It starts with a comprehensive water analysis. We collect on-site samples and run field tests for hardness, pH, iron, manganese, sulfur, TDS, chlorine, and bacteria. The results, along with household size, flow rate, and plumbing layout, let us design a tailored solution. For example, moderately hard city water with chlorine usually needs a softener plus a catalytic carbon filter, while well water with iron might require an air-injection iron filter followed by UV.

Can a whole-house filtration system remove hard water and health-related contaminants at the same time?

Yes. We often combine a high-capacity water softener (ion-exchange) with a catalytic carbon filter or a mixed-media system. The softener targets hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) to protect plumbing and appliances, while the carbon or mixed media removes chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds that affect taste, odor, and health. These units are plumbed in series so you enjoy conditioned, great-tasting water at every tap.

How often do filters, membranes, or softener resin need maintenance or replacement?

Typical service intervals are: whole-house carbon media—every 8–10 years; sediment pre-filters—every 6–12 months; RO membrane—every 2–3 years; RO carbon post-filter—annually; UV lamp—yearly; water softener salt—monthly top-ups with a full resin bed lasting 10–15 years. Actual frequency depends on incoming water quality and usage, and we offer maintenance plans with reminders and discounted media swaps.

Is professional installation really necessary, or can I install a purifier myself?

While small countertop or faucet filters can be DIY, whole-house and under-sink RO systems require plumbing know-how, correct sizing, pressure regulation, and compliance with Cookeville building codes. Professional installation ensures leak-free connections, proper drain air-gap, electrical grounding for UV units, and validation of flow rates and water quality. It also keeps the manufacturer’s warranty intact and minimizes the risk of water damage.

Do you provide water testing, financing, and warranties for your purification solutions?

Absolutely. We offer free on-site screening and optional certified lab testing for detailed reports. Financing plans spread the cost over 6, 12, or 24 months with no prepayment penalty. All systems come with a manufacturer’s warranty—typically 5–10 years on tanks and valves, and 1–3 years on electronic components—plus our own one-year labor guarantee. Extended service contracts are available for long-term peace of mind.
