FAQs
Why is professional water purification important in McMinnville?
Although McMinnville’s municipal water meets federal safety standards, many homeowners notice issues such as chlorine taste, mineral hardness, or well-water contaminants like iron and nitrates common in the Yamhill Valley. A professionally designed purification system removes these impurities, protects plumbing fixtures from scale, improves appliance efficiency, and delivers better-tasting, safer water for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
What contaminants are most often found in McMinnville tap or well water?
Routine testing in our area frequently detects chlorine by-products from municipal disinfection, hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium), iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide (rotten-egg odor) in private wells, and occasionally agricultural run-off contaminants such as nitrates and pesticides. A comprehensive water analysis helps us identify which of these are present in your home so we can recommend the right treatment technology.
What types of water treatment systems do you offer and service?
We design, install, and maintain a full range of technologies, including whole-house carbon filtration for chlorine and taste/odor removal, water softeners for hardness, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water systems for superior purity, iron and manganese filters, UV sterilizers for bacteria and virus control, and specialty media filters for nitrates or arsenic. All equipment is NSF-certified and sized specifically for your household’s flow rate and water quality conditions.
How do I know which purification system is right for my home or business?
Every property’s water chemistry is unique, so we begin with an on-site test that measures hardness, pH, iron, manganese, TDS, chlorine, and bacteria indicators. We review the results with you, discuss water-usage patterns, space constraints, and budget, then provide a customized proposal that outlines system options, performance guarantees, and operating costs. This consultative approach ensures you invest only in the equipment you truly need.
How much maintenance do water treatment systems require?
Routine service is minimal but essential for reliable performance. Most softeners and carbon filters need media replacement every 5–10 years, RO systems require annual pre/post-filters and 2–4 year membrane changes, and UV lamps are replaced once a year. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include scheduled cartridge changes, media inspections, sanitization, and water re-testing so you don’t have to keep track of dates or parts.
Why should I choose a licensed plumber for installation, and what does the process involve?
Oregon plumbing code requires any device connected to your potable water lines to be installed by a licensed professional to prevent cross-contamination and ensure proper backflow protection. Our certified plumbers handle permitting, set the equipment on a level pad, connect bypass valves, program control heads, start-up and sanitize the system, and perform a final water test. Most residential installations are completed in 3–5 hours with minimal disruption, and we haul away any packaging and old equipment for recycling.
