FAQs
What contaminants are common in Oneida’s water supply and how does your comprehensive purification approach address them?
In Oneida, the most frequently detected impurities include hard-water minerals (calcium and magnesium), chlorine by-products, iron, manganese, sulfur odors, and trace levels of agricultural runoff such as nitrates. Our comprehensive approach begins with a certified lab test of your incoming water to identify exact concentrations. Based on the results, we design a multi-stage system that may combine sediment pre-filters, catalytic carbon for chlorine and organics, NSF-certified ion-exchange softeners for hardness, and reverse-osmosis or UV disinfection modules for nitrate and microbial control. Each stage is sized to the specific flow rate of your household, ensuring you receive targeted treatment without sacrificing water pressure.
How will the purification equipment integrate with the existing plumbing in my Oneida home?
All systems are selected with your current plumbing layout in mind. We perform a full site inspection to locate the main supply line, pressure tank (if on a private well), and available drain connections. Most whole-house filters and softeners are installed at the point where water first enters the building, while point-of-use RO units fit neatly under a kitchen sink. We use corrosion-resistant PEX, copper, or stainless steel fittings to tie into your lines and include bypass valves so you can service equipment without disrupting water to the rest of the home. Typical installations take 3-6 hours and do not require major structural changes.
What routine maintenance is necessary and how often do I need to schedule service?
Maintenance depends on the components installed: • Sediment or carbon pre-filters: replace every 3–6 months. • Water softener resin bed: add salt pellets as needed (about one 40-lb bag per month for an average family) and schedule a resin cleaning every 1–2 years. • Reverse-osmosis membranes: change filters annually and the membrane every 2–3 years. • UV lamps: replace once a year to maintain germicidal strength. We offer affordable service plans that include filter changes, on-site water testing, and system inspections so you never have to track dates yourself.
Do you offer both whole-house and point-of-use purification solutions, and how do I decide which is right for me?
Yes. Whole-house systems treat every fixture, providing soft, contaminant-free water for bathing, laundry, and cooking, while point-of-use (POU) units like RO faucets focus on drinking and cooking water only. If your water test shows widespread issues such as hardness, iron, or sulfur odors that affect appliances and pipes, a whole-house unit is recommended. If the main concern is taste or dissolved solids in drinking water, a POU RO system may suffice. Many households choose a hybrid approach—whole-house filtration plus a kitchen RO tap—for maximum coverage at an economical cost.
Does your service include water testing and what does the process involve?
Absolutely. Accurate testing is the foundation of our comprehensive approach. We collect samples from your kitchen tap and, if applicable, your well head, then send them to a New York State–certified laboratory. Standard panels cover hardness, pH, iron, manganese, TDS, nitrates/nitrites, chlorine, and coliform bacteria. Results are typically returned within 5–7 business days. We review the findings with you in plain language, explain any health or plumbing implications, and provide a written quote outlining recommended treatment options and costs.
What warranties and ongoing support do you provide for installed purification systems?
Our equipment carries manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 to 10 years on tanks and control valves, plus 1–3 years on electronic components such as UV ballasts. In addition, we back our workmanship with a 2-year labor guarantee. Customers who enroll in our annual service plan receive priority scheduling, discounted replacement filters, and free follow-up water tests to verify performance. Technical support is available by phone or email seven days a week, and most in-home service calls in Oneida can be scheduled within 24 hours.
