FAQs
Why should I consider a water purification system for my home in Petros?
Petros receives treated municipal water, but it can still contain chlorine, sediment, hardness minerals, and trace contaminants that affect taste, odor, and appliance life. A dedicated purification system gives you an added layer of protection, delivering better-tasting water, reducing health risks from emerging contaminants, and helping pipes, faucets, and water-using appliances last longer by minimizing scale buildup.
What types of water purification systems do you install and how do I choose the right one?
We install point-of-entry (whole-house) and point-of-use (single faucet) systems, including carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO), ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, water softeners, and combination units. Selection depends on a free in-home water test, your water quality goals, household size, and budget. For example, RO excels at removing dissolved salts, lead, and PFAS, while carbon targets chlorine and volatile organic compounds, and UV neutralizes bacteria and viruses. We explain the test results and recommend a custom solution with upfront pricing.
How does the installation process work and will my water be shut off?
After the water test and system selection, we schedule a convenient installation date. Most under-sink RO or single-tap filters take 2–3 hours; whole-house systems usually require 4–6 hours. We temporarily turn off the main water line only during tie-in—typically 15–30 minutes—to avoid major disruption. All plumbing is performed to local Petros codes, and we leave the work area clean before we go.
How often do filters and membranes need replacement, and do you offer maintenance plans?
Filter life depends on water usage and quality, but a common schedule is: sediment or carbon pre-filters every 6–12 months, RO membranes every 2–3 years, and UV lamps annually. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include scheduled filter changes, system sanitization, performance checks, and discounted emergency service so your water stays pure without the hassle of remembering dates.
Is installing a home water purification system cost-effective compared with buying bottled water?
Yes. A typical family of four can spend $600–$1,000 per year on bottled water. A quality under-sink RO system, including installation, averages about the same cost as one year’s bottled water supply and then only $100–$150 per year in filter changes. You also reduce plastic waste and the time spent purchasing and lugging bottles home.
Will a purification system remove hardness, chlorine, and potential contaminants like lead or PFAS?
A properly configured system can address all of these. Water softeners remove hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) that cause scale. Carbon filtration eliminates chlorine/chloramine and improves taste. High-rejection RO membranes remove up to 99% of dissolved contaminants such as lead, arsenic, nitrates, and many PFAS compounds. We often pair these technologies to provide comprehensive protection tailored to Petros water conditions.
