FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install in Pikeville homes?
We offer a full range of systems tailored to local water conditions, including whole-home carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water units, water softeners for hard-water reduction, UV disinfection for microbial control, and combination systems that integrate two or more of these technologies. During our free in-home assessment, we test your water, discuss your goals, and recommend the most effective, budget-friendly solution.
How can I tell if I need a water purification system?
Common warning signs include chlorine or sulfur odors, metallic or bitter taste, white or reddish staining on fixtures, cloudy or sediment-laden water, frequent appliance scale buildup, or recurring gastrointestinal issues in household members. Even if you don’t notice these symptoms, Pikeville’s mix of municipal and private well sources can contain dissolved minerals, chlorine by-products, or bacteria that are invisible to the eye. A simple water analysis by our licensed plumbers will give you objective data so you can decide confidently.
Are whole-home filtration systems different from point-of-use filters such as countertop pitchers?
Yes. Whole-home (point-of-entry) systems treat every drop of water entering your house, protecting pipes, water heaters, dishwashers, showers, and laundry as well as drinking taps. Point-of-use units treat water at a single faucet or appliance and are useful when you only need purified drinking water. Whole-home units generally handle higher flow rates, last longer between cartridge changes, and provide comprehensive protection against scale, chlorine, and sediment throughout your property.
How often do water purification systems in Pikeville require maintenance or filter replacement?
It varies by system and water quality, but as a guideline: • Carbon whole-home filters: media change every 3–5 years. • Reverse osmosis: pre/post filters every 6–12 months; RO membrane every 2–3 years. • Water softeners: add salt as needed (usually monthly) and service the resin bed every 5–7 years. • UV lamps: annual bulb replacement. We include a maintenance schedule with every installation and offer affordable service plans that handle all testing, parts, and labor so you never have to guess.
Will a water purification system improve the taste and safety of Pikeville’s municipal or well water?
Absolutely. Carbon and RO filtration remove chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, lead, and hundreds of other contaminants that affect flavor and odor. Water softeners eliminate hardness minerals that make beverages taste flat and leave residue on dishes. UV disinfection neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and cysts often found in private wells after heavy rainfall. Customers consistently report noticeably better-tasting coffee, clearer ice cubes, and peace of mind about their family’s health.
What is the typical cost and installation time for a water purification system in Pikeville?
Basic under-sink RO units start around $450 installed, while whole-home carbon or softening systems average $1,200–$2,500 depending on capacity and water-quality challenges. Advanced multi-stage or commercial-grade setups can run higher. Most residential installations are completed in one day, with minimal disruption: we shut off the main, make the plumbing connections, sanitize the lines, and test the water. Financing options, local utility rebates, and manufacturer warranties are available to keep your out-of-pocket costs manageable.
