FAQs
Why do Loudon homes need water purification if the municipal supply is already treated?
Even though Loudon’s municipal water meets federal safety standards, it may still contain trace levels of chlorine, hardness minerals, sediment, and agricultural runoff common to our region. A point-of-use or whole-home purification system provides an extra layer of protection, improves taste and odor, safeguards plumbing fixtures, and ensures consistent water quality regardless of seasonal changes in the public supply.
Which water purification technologies do you recommend for Loudon’s typical water conditions?
For most Loudon households we recommend a multi-stage solution: (1) a sediment pre-filter to remove silt from the Tennessee River source water, (2) a high-capacity activated-carbon filter to reduce chlorine and organic compounds, (3) an optional water softener for hardness levels that often range between 6–10 gpg locally, and (4) a reverse-osmosis (RO) system at the kitchen tap for drinking and cooking water. Well-water customers may also benefit from UV disinfection or an iron/sulfur filter, depending on test results.
How do I know which system size and configuration I need?
Start with a professional water test—our technicians collect a sample and analyze pH, hardness, iron, manganese, bacteria, and total dissolved solids. We then calculate your peak household demand (gallons per minute) based on number of bathrooms, occupants, and appliances. Using this data, we size the filtration media, softener resin bed, or RO membrane to ensure adequate flow and contaminant reduction without over-engineering the system.
What maintenance is required after installation?
Routine upkeep is straightforward: replace sediment and carbon cartridges every 6–12 months, sanitize and change RO filters annually, and replenish softener salt as needed (about one 40-lb bag per month for a family of four). We offer affordable maintenance plans that include annual testing, filter changes, valve inspection, and media regeneration to keep your system performing at peak efficiency.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my water service?
A standard whole-home filtration and softener installation in Loudon typically takes 4–6 hours. Reverse-osmosis units add about 1 hour at the kitchen sink. We shut off the main water line only during tie-ins—usually 20–30 minutes—so downtime is minimal. Our crew protects flooring, cleans up thoroughly, and walks you through system operation before leaving.
What is the average cost and are financing options available?
Pricing varies with capacity and features, but most Loudon homeowners invest between $1,100 and $3,500 for a complete purification package, including equipment, installation, and first-year service. We partner with trusted lenders to offer zero-interest plans for 6 or 12 months, as well as low-APR terms up to 60 months, so you can enjoy pure water now and pay over time.
