FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install and service in La Follette?
We work with a full range of residential and light-commercial purification technologies, including whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water stations, UV disinfection units, water softeners, iron/sulfur removal systems, and combination filters that treat multiple contaminants in a single tank. Our licensed plumbers are factory-trained to size, install, and service equipment from leading brands such as Pentair, A. O. Smith, and Viqua.
How do I know which purification technology is best for my home or business?
Every property’s water chemistry is unique, so we start with a complimentary on-site water analysis that tests for hardness, pH, chlorine, iron, sulfur, bacteria, and other local contaminants common in Campbell County. After reviewing the lab report, we provide a clear recommendation, explain the pros and cons of each option, show projected operating costs, and size the system based on your peak demand. This data-driven approach ensures you invest in the right solution instead of an oversized or underperforming unit.
What contaminants can your plumbing filtration systems remove from La Follette's water supply?
Depending on the configuration, our systems can target sediment down to 5 microns, chlorine/chloramine, lead, iron, manganese, sulfur (rotten-egg odor), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, nitrates, and microbial threats such as E. coli and Giardia. Reverse osmosis units can remove up to 99% of dissolved solids, including arsenic and fluoride, while UV lamps provide 99.99% pathogen inactivation without chemicals.
How often do water purification systems need maintenance and filter changes?
Service intervals vary by technology and water quality, but the general guidelines are: carbon pre-filters every 6–12 months, RO membranes every 2–3 years, UV lamps annually, and resin re-beds for softeners or mixed-media tanks every 7–10 years. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include scheduled filter shipments, annual performance checks, and 24/7 priority plumbing support to keep your system running at peak efficiency.
Will a whole-house water purifier reduce my utility bills and extend appliance life?
Yes. Soft, contaminant-free water prevents scale buildup inside water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, which improves heat-transfer efficiency and can cut energy use by up to 15%. It also lowers soap and detergent consumption by 30–50%, reduces plumbing repair costs, and extends the lifespan of fixtures and appliances by several years—often paying for the system within its warranty period.
Is your purification technology certified, and do you offer warranties and financing?
All equipment we install carries NSF/ANSI certifications for performance and materials safety. Most systems include a manufacturer’s warranty of 5–10 years on tanks and valves, plus a one-year labor warranty from our plumbing division. We partner with trusted lenders to provide 0% or low-interest financing options, allowing qualified customers in La Follette to spread payments over 12–60 months with no prepayment penalties.
