FAQs
How often should I schedule routine maintenance for my home water purification system in Ducktown?
For most residential water purification systems, we recommend a professional maintenance visit every 6–12 months. Ducktown’s mineral content and seasonal fluctuations can affect filter life and membrane efficiency, so semi-annual checks ensure the system continues to remove chlorine, sediment, and potential heavy metals effectively.
What does a typical maintenance visit include for my water purification unit?
Our routine maintenance includes: (1) detailed water quality testing, (2) inspection and replacement of pre-filters, carbon filters, and RO membranes (if applicable), (3) sanitizing storage tanks and housings, (4) checking pressure and flow rates, and (5) verifying that valves, seals, and fittings are leak-free. We also document all readings so you can track system performance over time.
Why is maintenance so important if my water still tastes fine?
A good taste doesn’t always mean your water is contaminant-free. Filters can reach capacity and allow dissolved solids, bacteria, or chemical residues to pass through long before noticeable taste changes occur. Regular maintenance protects your family’s health, prevents costly repairs, and extends the life of the purification equipment.
Will routine maintenance help lower my utility bills?
Yes. A well-maintained system operates at optimal pressure and flow, reducing pump strain and energy consumption. Clean filters also minimize water waste in reverse-osmosis units, saving both water and electricity costs—important considerations with Ducktown’s municipal rates.
How can I tell if my filters or membrane need replacement between visits?
Watch for drops in water pressure, slower fill times on pitchers or refrigerators, or a slight change in taste or odor. Many units have built-in indicator lights or pressure gauges—if the pressure after the filters falls below manufacturer specs, it’s time for a change. You can also request a simple TDS (total dissolved solids) tester from us for at-home monitoring.
Do you offer any maintenance plans or emergency service in Ducktown?
Absolutely. We provide annual and semi-annual maintenance plans that include priority scheduling, discounted replacement parts, and 24/7 emergency response for leaks or sudden loss of water quality. Enrolling ensures you never miss a service interval and gives you peace of mind knowing help is just a call away.
