FAQs
Why do Loudon homeowners need a water purification system?
Loudon’s municipal and well-water sources can pick up sediment, chlorine by-products, agricultural run-off, and naturally occurring minerals on their way to the tap. While the water generally meets federal safety standards, many residents notice taste, odor, and hardness issues. A professionally installed purification system gives an extra layer of protection, improves flavor, safeguards plumbing fixtures, and provides peace of mind for families with young children, elderly members, or anyone with a sensitive immune system.
Which types of water purification systems do you install?
We offer point-of-entry and point-of-use options. Popular whole-home solutions include multi-stage cartridge filtration, catalytic carbon filters for chlorine and chloramine removal, water softeners for hardness, and UV disinfection units for microbial control. For drinking water at a single faucet, we install reverse-osmosis (RO) systems and countertop/undersink carbon filters. All equipment is NSF/ANSI certified and custom-sized to match your household’s flow rate and specific water quality report.
How do I know which purification system is right for my property?
Start with a complimentary on-site water analysis. We test for pH, hardness, iron, manganese, total dissolved solids (TDS), chlorine, and bacteria. Using these results, our technician discusses your priorities—taste, scale prevention, health concerns, or appliance protection—and recommends one or a combination of systems. We also factor in household size, plumbing layout, water pressure, and future expansion so that the system is neither undersized nor over-spec’d.
How much maintenance do water purification systems require?
Most systems need minimal attention: • Sediment and carbon cartridges: replace every 6–12 months. • RO membranes: every 2–3 years. • Softener/whole-house media tanks: resin lasts 8–10 years, salt top-up monthly. • UV lamps: change annually. We offer maintenance plans that include scheduled filter changes, sanitizer flushes, lamp swaps, and a retest of your water to confirm the system’s performance, all backed by a service reminder program so you never miss an interval.
Will a purification system remove hard-water scale as well as contaminants?
Yes. A traditional ion-exchange softener removes calcium and magnesium that cause hardness, preventing scale build-up in pipes, water heaters, and appliances. If you only need scale control and not full softening, we also install template-assisted crystallization (TAC) and electronic anti-scale devices. For comprehensive treatment—taste/odor, chemical reduction, and softening—we integrate a softener with carbon filtration and, if bacteria is a concern, UV. The combined approach delivers bottled-water quality at every tap.
What does a water purification system cost in Loudon, and can it save me money?
Installed costs range from $350–$750 for single-faucet RO units and $1,600–$4,500 for whole-house multi-stage systems, depending on flow rate and media type. Operating expenses (filters, salt, electricity) average $6–$15 per month. Savings include extended appliance life, up to 30 % less energy use for water heaters free of scale, reduced spending on bottled water, and fewer plumbing repairs. Most homeowners recoup their investment within 3–5 years, and our financing plans make monthly payments comparable to a family’s bottled-water budget.
