FAQs
Why is professional water purification important in Lake City?
Lake City’s municipal and well-water sources can contain hardness minerals, iron, sulfur, agricultural runoff, and occasional boil-water alerts after storms. A professionally designed purification system removes these contaminants, improves taste and odor, protects plumbing fixtures from scale, and safeguards your family’s health by delivering consistently clean, great-tasting water at every tap.
What advanced technologies do you use in your water purification systems?
We pair multi-stage sediment and carbon pre-filtration with NSF-certified reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, UV disinfection, and smart sensors. Our controllers monitor flow rate, pressure, and total dissolved solids (TDS) in real time, automatically backwashing or alerting you when service is needed. For well applications, we integrate catalytic carbon, KDF media, and Wi-Fi-enabled water softeners for complete treatment of iron, sulfur, and hardness.
How does a reverse osmosis system differ from traditional water filters?
Traditional filters (pitchers or faucet attachments) rely on carbon to trap chlorine and some chemicals. Reverse osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane with pores about 0.0001 microns, physically rejecting 95–99% of dissolved salts, lead, arsenic, PFAS, and microbial cysts. An RO unit delivers bottled-water quality right from the tap, whereas basic filters only improve taste and odor.
How often do filters, membranes, and UV lamps need to be replaced?
In Lake City’s water conditions, sediment and carbon pre-filters typically last 6–12 months, the RO membrane 2–3 years, and the UV lamp 12 months. Smart meters on our systems display remaining capacity and will send an email or app notification when replacement is due. Following the schedule ensures peak performance and preserves your warranty.
Can your purification systems handle Lake City’s hard water and high iron content?
Yes. We begin with a free onsite water analysis to measure hardness, iron, manganese, sulfur, pH, and TDS. Based on the results, we may install a high-efficiency softener with upflow brining to remove hardness, followed by an iron/sulfur filter or air-induction oxidizer before the RO unit. This staged approach prevents premature membrane fouling and guarantees crystal-clear, iron-free water throughout the home.
What does installation and ongoing maintenance involve, and what is the cost?
A typical whole-house system installs in 4–6 hours with minimal disruption. Costs start around $1,200 for a point-of-use RO and $3,500–$5,500 for a complete softener–RO–UV package, including professional installation, programming, and first-year service. Annual maintenance averages $150–$300 depending on filter sizes. We offer flexible financing, extended warranties, and service plans that include scheduled filter changes, performance checks, and priority support.
