FAQs
Why is water purification especially important for homes and businesses in La Follette?
La Follette’s municipal and well-water sources can pick up naturally occurring minerals, sediment, and potential contaminants such as iron, sulfur, and agricultural run-off before they reach your tap. While the city’s treatment meets federal safety standards, residual chlorine, hardness, and trace metals can still affect taste, odor, appliance life, and even sensitive skin. A dedicated purification or filtration system gives you an extra layer of protection, delivering cleaner, better-tasting water and reducing scale build-up in plumbing fixtures and water-using appliances.
What types of water purification systems do you install and service?
Reliable Resource Plumbing supplies, installs, and maintains point-of-entry and point-of-use systems, including whole-house carbon filters, reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking water units, water softeners, UV disinfection lights, iron/sulfur filter tanks, and combination systems for private wells. We partner with leading manufacturers and stock NSF-certified replacement cartridges so your system always meets performance specifications.
How do I know which purification system is right for my property?
We start with an on-site water analysis that checks pH, hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), chlorine, iron, sulfur, and bacteria. Based on the lab report and your household’s water usage, one of our licensed plumbers designs a customized solution that targets the specific contaminants present in your supply. We explain upfront costs, filter-replacement intervals, and expected operating expenses so you can make an informed decision.
What routine maintenance will my new water purification system require?
Most cartridge-style filters and RO membranes need replacement every 6–12 months, while media in whole-house tanks typically lasts 3–10 years depending on water quality and volume. Softener brine tanks should be checked monthly to ensure adequate salt levels, and UV lamps are replaced annually. Our worry-free maintenance plans include scheduled filter changes, performance testing, system sanitization, and 24/7 emergency support.
Will purified water really extend the life of my plumbing fixtures and appliances?
Yes. Hard water minerals cause scale deposits in water heaters, dishwashers, coffee makers, and even inside pipes, forcing appliances to work harder and shortening their lifespans. Removing hardness, iron, and sediment reduces corrosion and scale, improves energy efficiency, and lowers the frequency of costly repairs. Many manufacturers honor extended warranties only when conditioned or softened water is used.
Are your technicians certified, and do you offer any guarantees?
All Reliable Resource Plumbing technicians are Tennessee-licensed master or journeyman plumbers who have completed manufacturer training on the systems we install. We provide a written workmanship warranty, honor all manufacturer parts warranties, and guarantee that your new purification system will meet the contaminant-reduction levels specified in your proposal or we will adjust or replace it at no charge.
