FAQs
What environmentally friendly water purification solutions do you offer in Crossville?
We design and install a full range of green purification systems, including high-efficiency whole-house carbon filters, salt-free water softeners that eliminate brine discharge, point-of-use reverse-osmosis (RO) units with water-saving membranes, and UV sterilizers that destroy bacteria without chemicals. Each product is NSF-certified, free of toxic media, and sized specifically for Crossville homes to minimize water and energy waste.
How does a whole-house filtration system help both my family and the environment?
By treating water at the main supply line, a whole-house system removes chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, and VOCs before the water reaches any fixture. This means cleaner drinking water, softer skin and hair, and longer-lasting appliances. Environmentally, the filter prevents chlorine off-gassing, reduces scale that lowers appliance efficiency, and eliminates the need for bottled water—keeping hundreds of plastic bottles a year out of Cumberland County landfills.
Is Crossville’s water quality bad enough to justify a home purification system?
The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation lists Crossville’s municipal water as safe to drink, but routine testing still detects chlorine, chloramine by-products, moderate hardness, and occasional traces of agricultural runoff. While levels meet federal standards, many residents notice taste, odor, or scaling issues. Our complimentary in-home test pinpoints the exact contaminants present at your tap, allowing us to recommend a right-sized solution that goes beyond minimum compliance and delivers truly clean, great-tasting water.
Will an eco-friendly purification system raise my utility bills?
No. Modern green filtration technology is engineered for ultra-low operating cost. Salt-free conditioners require no regeneration water or electricity. Advanced RO units recover up to 80 % of feed water, cutting waste by two-thirds versus older models. Whole-house carbon filters backwash automatically only when sensors detect pressure loss, using less than 30 gallons a week—about the same as a single five-minute shower. Most homeowners see no noticeable change on their monthly water or electric bills.
How often do filters need to be replaced, and can the used media be recycled?
Change intervals depend on local water usage, but Crossville households typically replace sediment pre-filters every 6–9 months and carbon or catalytic media every 3–5 years. RO membranes last 2–4 years. We participate in a take-back program that ships spent carbon media to a reactivation facility and recycles RO housings through #5 polypropylene streams, assuring as little material as possible ends up in a landfill.
Do you provide testing and maintenance after installation?
Absolutely. We start with a free, lab-verified water analysis, explain the results in plain language, and design the system around those findings. After installation, every customer receives an annual performance check that includes flow-rate testing, filter condition assessment, and a bacteria screen. Maintenance plans are optional but popular—our technicians handle cartridge changes with eco-friendly disposal, record keeping for warranty validation, and system sanitation to ensure your water stays pure year after year.
