FAQs
What types of water purification systems does HEP’s Plumbing offer in Etowah?
We install and service a full range of systems, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water units, water softeners for hardness and scale control, and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection for bacteria and viruses. Our technicians test your water first, then recommend the solution—or combination of solutions—that targets the specific contaminants found in Etowah’s municipal or well water.
How do I know which purification system is right for my home?
Start with a professional water analysis, which we provide free of charge to Etowah homeowners. The test identifies hardness, chlorine, iron, manganese, sulfur, nitrates, and microbial contaminants. Based on the results, we explain the pros and cons of each treatment option, estimate operating costs, and size the system to your household’s flow rate and usage, so you get effective purification without overspending.
Will a water purification system remove the rotten-egg smell and rusty stains I’m experiencing?
Yes. The rotten-egg odor comes from hydrogen sulfide gas, while rusty or reddish stains stem from dissolved iron. A combination of aeration or catalytic carbon filtration followed by an iron filter or softener will oxidize and remove these contaminants. We often pair this with a sediment pre-filter to keep particles from clogging fixtures and appliances.
How much maintenance does a water purification system require?
Maintenance varies by system but is generally straightforward: • Carbon filters: Replace media every 3–5 years or cartridges every 6–12 months. • RO units: Change pre/post filters annually and the RO membrane every 2–3 years. • Water softeners: Refill with salt or potassium pellets as needed (typically a bag per month for a family of four). • UV lights: Replace the lamp once a year and clean the quartz sleeve. We offer affordable service plans that include annual check-ups, filter changes, and performance testing.
What benefits can I expect after installing a whole-house water purification system?
Customers in Etowah report noticeably better-tasting drinking water, elimination of chlorine odor, softer hair and skin, longer-lasting appliances, and reduced buildup in pipes and water heaters. You’ll also spend less on bottled water and cleaning products because soap lathers more effectively in purified, softened water.
Is a water purification system a good investment for Etowah homeowners?
Absolutely. Besides the health and comfort benefits, purified water extends the life of plumbing fixtures, dishwashers, and washing machines by preventing scale and corrosion. According to the Water Quality Association, treated water can cut appliance energy use by up to 29% and reduce detergent consumption by 50%. Most of our customers recoup their investment within 3–5 years through lower utility bills, fewer repairs, and reduced bottled-water purchases.
