FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install in Etowah homes?
Our licensed plumbers install a full range of purification solutions, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water systems, UV disinfection units, water softeners for hard-water removal, and hybrid systems that combine multiple technologies. We begin with a free on-site water test, then recommend the system—or combination of systems—that targets the specific contaminants found in your Etowah water supply.
How can I tell if my Etowah home needs a water purification system?
Common warning signs include chlorine taste or odor, cloudy or discolored water, hard-water scale on fixtures, stains in sinks or tubs, and frequent appliance breakdowns. Well owners should also watch for sulfur odors and sediment. Even if your water looks fine, laboratory tests often reveal invisible contaminants such as lead, agricultural runoff, or microbial cysts. We offer complimentary testing to identify these issues and verify whether purification is necessary.
What is the difference between whole-house filtration and point-of-use systems?
Whole-house (point-of-entry) systems treat every drop of water as it enters your Etowah home, protecting plumbing, fixtures, laundry, and bathing water. Point-of-use (POU) systems, such as sink-mounted RO units, filter water at a single tap to deliver premium drinking and cooking water. Many customers choose a layered approach: a whole-house filter for broad contaminant reduction, paired with an RO faucet for ultra-pure drinking water.
How often do purification systems need maintenance or filter replacement?
Frequency depends on water quality and system type. Carbon filters typically require cartridge replacement every 6–12 months, while RO membranes last 2–3 years with proper pre-filtration. UV lamps should be replaced annually to maintain germicidal effectiveness. Water softener resin beds can last a decade or more but need salt replenishment every 4–6 weeks. During installation we provide a customized maintenance calendar, and our service plans include scheduled inspections, filter swaps, and performance verification.
Is well water in Etowah compatible with your purification solutions?
Absolutely. Many Etowah residents rely on private wells, which can contain iron, manganese, sulfur bacteria, nitrates, and volatile organic compounds. We perform specialized well-water testing, then engineer a tailored treatment train—often an iron filter or sediment separator ahead of a softener, followed by RO or UV for drinking water. Our systems are designed to handle variable flow rates and pressure common to well pumps.
What certifications and warranties do your plumbing craftsmen provide with installation?
All installations are performed by Tennessee-licensed, insured plumbers who are factory-trained on the brands we carry. The equipment itself is NSF/ANSI certified for contaminant removal, and most units include a 5- to 10-year manufacturer warranty. Our labor is backed by a two-year workmanship guarantee, and customers enrolled in our annual service plan receive priority scheduling and discounted parts for the life of the system.
