FAQs
What are the most common water quality issues in Jefferson City, and how can purification systems address them?
Jefferson City’s water is drawn primarily from the Missouri River and local wells. While it meets federal safety standards, residents often report high hardness (calcium and magnesium), chlorine taste/odor from municipal disinfection, trace agricultural contaminants such as nitrates, and the potential for lead pickup in older home plumbing. A professionally designed purification system can combine sediment pre-filters, activated carbon to remove chlorine and organic compounds, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes for dissolved solids and nitrates, and specialty cartridges that capture lead. By tailoring the stages to the specific water test results from your home, we can deliver noticeably cleaner, great-tasting water from every tap.
Which types of water purification systems do you install and which is best for my home?
We install point-of-entry (whole-house) systems such as multi-stage cartridge filters, water softeners, and UV disinfection, as well as point-of-use systems like reverse osmosis units under the kitchen sink. The “best” solution depends on your water chemistry, household size, and priorities (taste, appliance protection, health concerns). For example, households battling scale buildup usually benefit from a softener paired with carbon filtration, while families focused on drinking water purity may opt for an RO system. We offer a complimentary on-site water analysis that lets us recommend the precise combination of technologies for your needs and budget.
Will a whole-house water purification system affect my water pressure or plumbing fixtures?
Properly sized equipment should not cause noticeable pressure loss. During the assessment we calculate your home’s peak flow rate (showers, laundry, etc.) and select filters and valves that maintain adequate gallons-per-minute throughput. We also install bypass valves, pressure gauges, and expansion tanks where needed. If your existing plumbing has restrictions or corroded piping, we’ll address those issues first to ensure consistent pressure after the purification system is online.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
Most whole-house systems are installed near the main water line entry (often the basement) and require 4–6 hours. Our licensed plumbers shut off the water, cut into the supply line, add shut-off and bypass valves, mount the filtration or softening equipment, connect drain lines (if applicable), and sanitize the system. Point-of-use RO units typically take 2–3 hours and include drilling a dedicated faucet hole and routing a small drain saddle. Before we leave, we perform a pressure test, flush the filters, and walk you through operation and maintenance.
How much maintenance is required and what recurring costs should I expect?
Maintenance is straightforward: sediment and carbon pre-filters are changed every 6–12 months ($40–$90 per set), RO membranes every 2–3 years ($60–$120), and softener salt is added as needed (about one 40-lb bag per person per month at $8–$10 per bag). UV lamps are replaced annually. We offer affordable service plans that include scheduled filter changes, performance checks, and water re-testing so you never have to remember the dates yourself.
Are your water purification solutions certified and do they come with warranties?
Yes. All filters, membranes, and softeners we install carry NSF/ANSI certifications for their stated contaminant reduction claims. Equipment warranties range from 1 year on cartridges to 10 years on mineral tanks and control valves. Our labor is warrantied for one full year, and extended service agreements are available. Documentation and warranty cards are provided at installation, and we register the products for you to ensure hassle-free coverage.
