FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install and service in Georgetown?
We handle the full range of residential and light-commercial water treatment solutions, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking-water stations, water softeners for hardness reduction, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection units, and combination systems that pair softening with advanced filtration. Our licensed plumbers will evaluate your water quality and help you choose the most effective system for Georgetown’s mineral-rich municipal and well water.
How can I tell if my Georgetown home actually needs a water purification or softening system?
Common warning signs are cloudy or discolored tap water, a chlorine or sulfur (rotten-egg) odor, limescale buildup on fixtures, dry skin or dull hair after showering, spots on dishes, or family members with recurring stomach issues. We offer complimentary on-site tests that measure hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), chlorine, iron, and pH. With this data we can confirm whether filtration, softening, or both will solve the problem before you invest in equipment.
Is the city water in Georgetown considered safe, and why would I still want additional purification?
Yes, Georgetown Utilities meet all state and federal safety standards, but the regulations allow certain levels of chlorine, hardness minerals, and trace contaminants that can still affect taste, appliance lifespan, and sensitive immune systems. A point-of-use RO faucet or whole-house filtration can remove up to 99% of residual chlorine, lead, micro-plastics, and other impurities, giving you bottled-water quality straight from the tap.
Are whole-house systems expensive to operate and maintain?
Operating costs are low. Carbon filter media typically lasts 5–7 years, a bag of softener salt averages $6–$8 and may last 4–6 weeks for a family of four, and RO membrane replacement is usually once every 2–3 years. Most homeowners spend less than $150 a year in consumables, which is far less than continually purchasing bottled water or repairing premature appliance failures caused by hard water.
Can I install a water purification system myself, or should I hire a professional plumber?
Many over-the-counter filters are DIY-friendly, but whole-house filtration and RO systems connect directly to your main water line and often require backflow prevention, pressure regulation, and drainage tie-ins that must comply with Texas Plumbing Code. Professional installation ensures proper sizing, leak-free connections, warranty protection, and local permit compliance. We also calibrate flow rates and program regeneration cycles for peak efficiency.
What routine service do these systems need, and do you offer maintenance plans?
Routine service includes changing pre-filters every 6–12 months, checking water pressure, sanitizing RO storage tanks annually, topping up softener salt, and testing water quality to confirm the system is still performing as designed. We offer affordable maintenance plans that schedule filter changes, perform annual inspections, and provide 24/7 priority plumbing support in Georgetown, so you never have to worry about remembering service intervals.
