FAQs
Why is water purification especially important for homes and businesses in Decherd?
Decherd relies on a mix of municipal water and private wells. Both sources can pick up dissolved minerals, iron, sulfur, agricultural runoff, or trace industrial residues as they move through the local limestone bedrock and aging distribution lines. A dedicated purification system removes these impurities, improving taste, protecting plumbing fixtures from scale, and safeguarding your family’s health.
What contaminants are most commonly found in Decherd’s water supply?
Laboratory testing in our area routinely detects elevated hardness (calcium and magnesium), iron, manganese, hydrogen-sulfide (rotten-egg odor), sediment, and in some wells traces of nitrates or pesticides. While city-treated water meets federal standards, it can still contain chlorine, chloramines, and disinfection by-products that affect flavor and may irritate skin. Our purification solutions target all of these issues and are customized to the exact chemistry of your incoming water.
Which water purification systems do you offer and how does each one work?
1. Whole-house carbon filtration – Removes chlorine, chloramines, organic chemicals, and unpleasant odors using high-capacity activated carbon. 2. Water softeners – Exchange hardness minerals for sodium or potassium to eliminate scale and soap scum. 3. Iron & sulfur filters – Use air-induction or catalytic media to oxidize and trap iron, manganese, and hydrogen-sulfide before they reach your taps. 4. Reverse osmosis (RO) drinking stations – Force water through a semipermeable membrane, blocking up to 99% of dissolved solids, lead, arsenic, and micro-organisms for bottle-quality water at the kitchen sink or fridge. 5. UV disinfection – Emits ultraviolet light that inactivates bacteria, viruses, and cysts without chemicals, ideal for well users. We often combine two or more technologies for complete treatment.
How can I figure out which purification solution is right for my property?
Start with a free on-site water analysis. One of our certified technicians will take samples at strategic points, run quick tests for hardness, iron, pH, and chlorine, and, if needed, send samples to a state-accredited lab for more detailed screening. We then explain the results in plain language, outline your goals (better taste, scale prevention, contaminant removal), discuss budget, and design a system sized to your water usage, plumbing layout, and future expansion plans.
How much maintenance do water purification systems require?
Most whole-house systems only need routine media replacement or regeneration: • Carbon tanks – Media change every 5–7 years, sediment pre-filter every 6–12 months. • Water softeners – Add salt 3–4 times a year, annual wellness check. • Iron/sulfur units – Media refresh every 5–10 years, depending on loading. • RO – Change pre/post filters every 6–12 months and membrane every 2–3 years. • UV – Swap the lamp once a year and clean the quartz sleeve. We offer economical service plans that include reminders, parts, and labor so you never have to track it yourself.
Do I really need professional installation, and what can I expect during the service visit?
Professional installation ensures the system is plumbed correctly, bypass valves are accessible, and flow rates match your household demand—preventing pressure drops and premature media failure. On installation day our licensed plumber: 1. Shuts off the main water and drains the lines. 2. Installs isolation valves, pressure relief, and any required pretreatment. 3. Programs the control head to your water chemistry and usage patterns. 4. Sanitizes the new system, restores water flow, and checks for leaks. 5. Gives you a brief orientation on operation, maintenance, and warranty registration. Most single-tank setups take 2–3 hours; larger multi-stage systems may take half a day. We leave the workspace clean and haul away any debris.
