FAQs
What water quality challenges does Pikeville face, and how can advanced purification technology address them?
Pikeville’s municipal water is generally safe, but many homes experience hard-water scale, elevated iron or manganese that discolor fixtures, and occasional sediment or chlorine tastes from the Russell Fork River supply. Our advanced purification solutions—combining multi-stage sediment filtration, catalytic carbon, water softening, and optional reverse osmosis (RO) or ultraviolet (UV) disinfection—remove dissolved minerals, neutralize odors, and safeguard against bacteria, giving you crisp, clear water at every tap.
How does a reverse osmosis (RO) system installed by your Pikeville technicians work?
An RO system forces pre-filtered water through a semipermeable membrane that rejects up to 99% of dissolved solids, heavy metals (lead, arsenic), and micro-contaminants. The unit we install includes (1) a 5-micron sediment cartridge, (2) catalytic carbon to strip chlorine and VOCs, (3) the RO membrane, (4) a post-carbon “polishing” filter, and (5) an optional remineralizer to balance pH. Purified water is stored in a pressurized tank and delivered to a dedicated faucet or refrigerator line. All components are NSF-certified and sized for Pikeville’s typical 45–70 psi water pressure.
If Pikeville already treats its water, why would I need whole-home filtration?
City treatment meets federal safety standards, but it cannot tailor water to each household’s plumbing or health needs. Whole-home filtration: • Eliminates chlorine/chloramine that dries skin and degrades rubber gaskets • Captures rust and sediment stirred up in aging distribution lines • Prevents hard-water scale that shortens appliance life • Filters PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and emerging contaminants not yet regulated. Installing a point-of-entry system ensures every shower, dishwasher, and washing machine benefits—not just your drinking water.
What routine maintenance do advanced purification systems require, and can you handle it for me?
Most cartridge filters need replacement every 6–12 months; RO membranes last 2–5 years; UV lamps are swapped annually; and softener resin requires salt top-ups. We offer turnkey maintenance plans that include on-schedule filter changes, performance testing, membrane flushing, and sanitizing. Our technicians text you reminders, arrive with genuine OEM parts, and dispose of used cartridges responsibly, so you never have to track dates or handle messy filters.
Are modern water purification units energy-efficient?
Yes. A typical whole-home catalytic-carbon filter or softener uses no electricity except for a low-watt control valve (about the same as a night-light). RO systems consume no power; they rely on household water pressure, though they do waste some water during operation (our premium models cut this to a 1:1 ratio). UV disinfection chambers draw roughly 20 W—less than an LED bulb. We select equipment certified by the Water Quality Association (WQA) for energy-saving performance.
What does installation cost, and are there rebates or financing options in Pikeville?
Pricing depends on flow rate, water chemistry, and features. Typical ranges: • Under-sink RO system: $650–$1,100 installed • Whole-home softener + carbon filter combo: $2,400–$3,800 • Complete smart filtration with UV and leak-detection: $4,500+. We provide free on-site testing and written quotes. Financing starts at $49/month with approved credit, and Kentucky’s ENERGY STAR Appliance Rebate occasionally covers RO or high-efficiency softeners—ask us for current programs. All installations come with a 1-year labor warranty and up to 10-year manufacturer coverage.
