FAQs
What common water quality issues do Georgetown homeowners face, and how can purification systems help?
In Georgetown, residents often report hard water, chlorine taste or odor, sediment from aging pipes, and occasional spikes in contaminants such as nitrates or lead. A professionally installed purification system—typically combining a whole-house sediment filter, water softener, and a point-of-use reverse-osmosis (RO) unit—addresses each of these concerns. The sediment filter catches rust or sand, the softener removes hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) that cause scale, and the RO membrane eliminates dissolved salts, heavy metals, and many organic compounds, providing crisp, clean drinking water at the tap.
How do whole-house filtration systems differ from under-sink RO units?
Whole-house (point-of-entry) filters treat all the water entering your home. They target broad issues such as sediment, chlorine, or iron, protecting plumbing fixtures, appliances, and even your skin and hair during showers. Under-sink reverse-osmosis units are point-of-use systems installed at a single faucet; they push water through a semipermeable membrane to remove finer dissolved contaminants like lead, arsenic, fluoride, and PFAS. For comprehensive protection, homeowners frequently combine both: a whole-house system for general treatment and an RO unit for drinking and cooking water.
Is Georgetown’s municipal water already safe to drink, and why consider additional purification?
Yes, Georgetown’s municipal supply meets federal and state safety standards. However, those standards set maximum contaminant levels, not zero; trace amounts of chlorine by-products (THMs), heavy metals, or microplastics can remain. Furthermore, water can pick up contaminants inside neighborhood or household plumbing before it reaches your glass. Additional purification provides an extra margin of safety, improves taste and odor, and can protect family members with sensitive immune systems or skin conditions.
How often do filters and membranes need to be replaced?
Maintenance schedules vary by system and water quality. As a guideline: • Whole-house sediment or carbon cartridges: every 6–12 months. • Water softener salt: refill as needed, typically every 4–6 weeks. • RO pre-filters: 6–12 months. • RO membrane: 2–3 years. • RO post-carbon polishing filter: 12 months. We label each component with installation and target replacement dates and offer annual service plans to test water, inspect equipment, and change filters so you never have to track it yourself.
Will a purification system reduce water pressure or require major plumbing changes?
When properly sized, modern filtration and softening equipment has minimal impact on household pressure—usually less than a 3–5 psi drop. We begin each project with a flow-rate calculation and choose appropriately rated valves and media tanks. Installation generally ties into your existing main supply line and can be completed in one day with no structural modifications. Under-sink RO units need only a cold-water feed, drain connection, and small storage tank that fits in most kitchen cabinets.
What warranties, certifications, and costs should I expect?
We install NSF/ANSI-certified components to ensure performance claims are independently verified. Our whole-house filters and softeners carry 5- to 10-year tank and valve warranties; RO systems include 1- to 3-year warranties on housings and faucets. Typical turnkey costs in Georgetown range from $1,500–$2,800 for a whole-house filter or softener and $450–$850 for an RO unit, including professional installation. Financing and maintenance plans are available to spread payments and keep your system running at peak efficiency.
