FAQs
Why is proactive maintenance important for water purification systems in Harriman?
Harriman’s municipal and well water supplies often contain elevated levels of minerals, chlorine, and occasional sediment from the Clinch and Emory river basins. Proactive maintenance keeps filters, membranes, and softening media operating at peak efficiency so they can handle these local water challenges. Regular service prevents premature wear, improves taste and safety, and helps you avoid costly emergency repairs or complete system replacement.
What does your proactive maintenance plan include?
Our comprehensive plan covers: 1) scheduled inspection of all filters, membranes, UV lamps, and pumps; 2) on-site water quality testing for pH, hardness, chlorine, iron, and bacteria; 3) cleaning and sanitizing of tanks, housings, and lines; 4) replacement of consumable cartridges and media before they clog or expire; 5) calibration of electronic controllers and pressure gauges; and 6) a written report with recommendations and projected replacement timelines. Customers also receive priority scheduling and discounted parts.
How often should I have my water purification system serviced?
Most residential reverse-osmosis, carbon filtration, or softening units should be checked every 6 months and receive a full service once a year. Homes with high sediment, iron, or hardness levels—and commercial sites such as restaurants or salons—often benefit from quarterly visits. Our technicians tailor the schedule to your specific water test results and usage patterns, ensuring neither under- nor over-servicing.
Can proactive maintenance extend the life of my water heater and plumbing fixtures?
Yes. Scale, iron, and corrosive chlorine in untreated water build up inside water heaters, dishwashers, and pipe walls. By keeping your purification and softening equipment in top shape, proactive maintenance minimizes scale formation and corrosion. Customers typically see a 20–30 % longer lifespan for water heaters and a noticeable reduction in faucet and showerhead repairs, saving hundreds of dollars over the system’s life.
Do Harriman's municipal water conditions require additional filtration or softening?
Many homeowners choose supplemental treatment because Harriman’s water hardness averages 8–10 grains per gallon, which can leave spots and scale. Chlorine levels used for disinfection may affect taste and skin comfort, and occasional turbidity spikes occur after heavy rains. A properly maintained softener paired with carbon or reverse-osmosis filtration addresses these issues and delivers clear, great-tasting water for drinking and appliance protection.
What signs indicate my water purification equipment needs maintenance?
Common warning signs include slower flow from purified water taps, unusual tastes or odors, cloudy ice cubes, scale buildup on fixtures despite a working softener, and filter change indicators lighting up. You might also notice higher energy bills if scale forms in your water heater. Scheduling a service visit at the first sign of trouble prevents small problems from escalating into major repairs.
