FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-house water purification system in Lynchburg?
Central Virginia’s municipal and well water supplies often contain hardness minerals, chlorine by-products, iron and occasional agricultural runoff. A properly sized purification system removes these contaminants, protecting your plumbing fixtures, improving taste and odor, and extending the life of water-using appliances.
How can I tell if I need a water purification system installed?
Common signs include white scale on faucets, metallic or chlorine taste, staining in sinks or tubs, and frequent pin-hole leaks in copper pipes. We also offer free on-site water testing in Lynchburg; results show hardness, pH, iron, sulfur and total dissolved solids so you can make an informed decision.
What types of water purification equipment do you install?
We design solutions around your water report, typically combining one or more of the following: sediment pre-filters, activated carbon filters, water softeners, reverse-osmosis drinking stations, UV disinfection and iron/sulfur removal units. All systems are NSF-certified and sized to match your home’s flow rate.
How long does installation take and will my water be shut off?
Most residential installs are completed in 4–6 hours. We shut the main line off only during final tie-in, usually 30–45 minutes. Our technicians arrive with drop cloths, shoe covers and all fittings needed to keep disruption to a minimum.
What routine maintenance is required after installation?
Maintenance is straightforward: sediment and carbon cartridges are replaced every 6–12 months; softener salt reservoirs are topped up as needed; RO membranes typically last 2–3 years; UV lamps are swapped annually. We offer affordable service plans that include reminders, parts and labor.
Does Lynchburg’s water chemistry create any special maintenance considerations?
Yes. Lynchburg’s water hardness averages 7–10 grains per gallon and seasonal chlorine levels can fluctuate. This means softener resin and carbon media may exhaust slightly faster than in softer regions. Our maintenance schedule and media selection are tailored specifically for local conditions to ensure optimal performance year-round.
