FAQs
What happens during our initial water-purification consultation?
A licensed plumbing technician visits your Crab Orchard property, inspects your existing plumbing, gathers information about your household’s water usage, and takes on-site water samples. We test for common local issues such as hardness, iron, sediment, chlorine, sulfur odor, and bacterial contamination. Once the results are in (instant for basic parameters, 24–48 hours for lab tests), we explain the findings in plain language and outline treatment options that match your budget and water-quality goals.
Why is professional water testing important before choosing a purification system?
Every well or municipal supply in Crab Orchard can have a unique mineral and contaminant profile. Installing equipment without precise data can lead to under- or over-treatment, higher operating costs, or persistent water problems. A professional test pinpoints the exact contaminants and their concentrations, ensuring the recommended filtration, softening, or disinfection technology solves the problem efficiently and meets state and federal safety standards.
How long does the consultation take and is there a fee?
Most on-site consultations last 60–90 minutes. This includes the walkthrough, sample collection, and a preliminary discussion of treatment options. Basic testing is complimentary for customers within 25 miles of downtown Crab Orchard. If advanced lab analysis is required, we’ll quote the lab’s pass-through fee up front (typically $40–$90), which is credited toward any system you purchase within 90 days.
What types of water-purification solutions do you offer for Crab Orchard homes?
We design and install point-of-entry (whole-house) and point-of-use systems, including dual-tank water softeners, reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking stations, carbon filtration for chlorine and taste, iron/sulfur air-injection filters, UV sterilizers for bacterial control, and combination units for limited space. All equipment is NSF/ANSI certified and sized to match your flow rate, family size, and water chemistry.
Will the recommended system be tailored to my home’s plumbing and water usage?
Yes. During the consultation we note pipe size, water pressure, flow rate, appliance locations, and future remodeling plans. Using this data and your test results, we calculate the correct media capacity, regeneration frequency, and filter stages so the system seamlessly integrates with your plumbing, avoids pressure drops, and provides continuous purified water even during peak demand.
What happens after the consultation if I decide to proceed?
You receive a written proposal with equipment specifications, warranty details, installation timeline, and total cost—no hidden fees. Once approved, we schedule installation (usually within one week), pull any required permits, and register your system for warranty. After installation, we perform a start-up test, show you routine maintenance steps, and enroll you in our annual service reminder program to keep your water purification system performing at its best.
