FAQs
What kinds of water purification systems do you install for Dunlap homes and businesses?
We offer a full line of NSF-certified systems—including carbon block filters, reverse-osmosis (RO) units, UV disinfection lamps, iron/sulfur removal tanks, and whole-house softeners. After a free on-site water test we recommend the most efficient combination for Dunlap’s common water issues such as high iron, hardness, and bacteria picked up from private wells and Sequatchie Valley municipal lines.
How can I tell if my Dunlap water supply really needs purification?
Signs include metallic or rotten-egg odors, reddish or blue-green staining on fixtures, cloudy water, or limescale build-up. Even if your water looks fine, it may contain dissolved contaminants like lead, chlorine by-products, or nitrates. We perform complimentary laboratory testing that measures pH, hardness, TDS, iron, manganese, bacteria, and heavy metals so you have factual data before deciding.
What’s the difference between a whole-house filtration system and a point-of-use (POU) filter under my sink?
Whole-house systems treat every drop as it enters your plumbing, protecting appliances, pipes, and all fixtures. They’re ideal for tackling sediment, chlorine, iron, sulfur, or hardness that affect laundry, bathing, and water heaters. POU filters or RO faucets treat only the water you drink or cook with, providing extra polish for taste and dissolved solids. Many Dunlap homeowners choose a hybrid approach: whole-house filtration plus a dedicated RO tap for kitchen use.
Will a purification system also soften my hard water?
Yes. If hardness is present we integrate an ion-exchange softener or a salt-free scale conditioner ahead of other filters. This removes calcium and magnesium ions that cause limescale, extends appliance life, and improves soap efficiency. If you only need chlorine or odor removal, we can bypass softening—but for most Dunlap well customers a softener is highly recommended.
How often do filters, membranes, and UV lamps need replacement?
Service intervals vary with water quality and usage, but as a rule of thumb: sediment pre-filters—6 to 12 months; carbon block cartridges—12 months; RO membranes—2 to 3 years; UV lamps—yearly; ion-exchange resin—10 to 15 years. We include a maintenance schedule and can enroll you in our worry-free filter delivery and annual inspection program so you never miss a change.
Are water purification systems expensive to maintain?
Operating costs are typically $100 – $300 per year, mostly for filter cartridges, salt, or annual UV bulbs. The upfront investment often pays for itself through longer appliance life, reduced bottled-water purchases, fewer plumbing repairs, and energy savings from scale-free water heaters. We also offer financing and local utility rebates where applicable to make clean water affordable for Dunlap residents.
