FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install in Decherd homes?
We offer point-of-use reverse osmosis (RO) units, whole-house carbon and sediment filtration systems, UV sterilizers, and hybrid set-ups that combine several technologies for maximum contaminant removal. During a free on-site water test, our licensed plumber will assess your specific water chemistry and recommend the system—or combination of systems—that best targets iron, sulfur, chlorine, hardness, or bacteria commonly found in the Decherd area’s municipal and well supplies.
How does a whole-house filtration system improve water quality compared with pitcher filters or faucet attachments?
Pitcher filters treat only the water you pour into them, and faucet attachments protect a single tap. A professionally installed whole-house system treats every gallon that enters your plumbing. This means cleaner drinking water, softer skin and hair in the shower, longer-lasting appliances, and reduced staining of fixtures and laundry. Because our systems have larger media beds and higher flow rates, they capture more contaminants and last far longer between media changes than consumer countertop options.
Are your purification systems certified to meet national quality and safety standards?
Yes. All major components we install—RO membranes, carbon blocks, UV chambers, and control valves—carry NSF/ANSI Standard 42, 53, 55, or 58 certifications, verifying their effectiveness against specific contaminants and confirming they are constructed from materials safe for potable water contact. We also comply with Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) plumbing codes and pull all required permits for work in Decherd.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
Most residential installations are completed in one day. We begin with a water test, size the system, and schedule a convenient appointment. On installation day our crew isolates the main water line, mounts the filtration tanks or RO unit in your utility area, makes code-approved plumbing connections, sanitizes the media, and performs a final water quality check. You will receive a walkthrough on operating the system and an electronic copy of your warranty and maintenance schedule before we leave.
How often will my system need maintenance or filter replacements?
Service intervals vary by equipment type and local water usage. Sediment pre-filters are typically changed every 6–12 months, carbon beds every 3–5 years, and RO membranes every 2–4 years. UV lamps need annual replacement to maintain germicidal intensity. We offer an affordable maintenance plan that includes scheduled filter changes, performance testing, and 24/7 emergency support, ensuring your system stays in peak condition without you having to track dates.
Will adding a purification system reduce my water pressure or harm my plumbing fixtures?
When sized correctly, impact on pressure is minimal—usually less than 3–5 psi, which most homeowners never notice. We calculate flow requirements based on the number of bathrooms and peak demand in your home so the system can handle simultaneous showers, laundry, and dishwashing. In fact, removing sediment and hardness often extends the life of water heaters, valves, and faucets, preventing scale buildup and corrosion that can otherwise damage your plumbing.
