FAQs
What common water quality issues do Pikeville homeowners face that your purification systems can solve?
Many Pikeville residents deal with hard water, elevated iron and manganese levels, and occasional sulfur (rotten-egg) odors caused by naturally occurring minerals in local wells and the municipal supply. Our tailored filtration and softening solutions remove excess hardness minerals, oxidize and filter out iron/manganese, and eliminate sulfur compounds, delivering clear, odor-free, great-tasting water to every tap.
Which type of water purification system is best for my home—whole-house or point-of-use?
A whole-house (point-of-entry) system treats all the water entering your plumbing, protecting pipes, fixtures, and appliances from scale and staining while providing clean water for bathing, laundry, and cooking. A point-of-use system, such as a reverse osmosis (RO) unit under the kitchen sink, focuses on drinking and cooking water only. During our free on-site water analysis, we test your supply and discuss your usage patterns to recommend either a single solution or a combination (e.g., softener + RO) that meets both quality goals and budget.
How often will my filters, membranes, or media need maintenance or replacement?
Service intervals depend on water chemistry, household size, and system type. Sediment pre-filters typically need replacement every 3–6 months, carbon cartridges every 6–12 months, and RO membranes every 2–5 years. Softener resin beds usually last 10–15 years when regenerated with proper salt levels, while catalytic media for iron/sulfur removal averages 5–10 years. We provide a maintenance schedule, offer annual service plans, and stock all replacement parts locally in Pikeville for fast turnaround.
Will installing a water purification system increase my water or energy bills?
Most modern purification units operate efficiently. A standard water softener regenerates only when needed, using roughly 40–60 gallons of water per cycle—similar to one extra laundry load—and minimal electricity to power the control valve. RO systems send some water to drain during filtration, but we size the unit to your consumption to keep waste low. Any small uptick in utility costs is typically offset by savings on bottled water, reduced soap/detergent use, and longer appliance life.
Can you integrate a new purification system with my existing plumbing without major remodeling?
Yes. Our licensed Pikeville plumbers evaluate available space (basement, utility room, or crawl space) and tie into the main water line using compact bypass valves and flexible connectors. Most installations are completed in a single day with little disruption. For point-of-use RO units, we add a dedicated faucet, optional refrigerator/icemaker line, and a small tank under the sink. We always secure necessary permits and ensure the installation meets Kentucky plumbing codes.
Do your water purification solutions come with warranties and local support?
Absolutely. All equipment we install carries a manufacturer’s warranty—typically 5–10 years on tanks and valves, 1–3 years on electrical components—and we include a one-year labor warranty on workmanship. Because we are based in Pikeville, you receive prompt on-site service, annual inspections, 24/7 emergency plumbing support, and access to certified water specialists who can retest your water anytime conditions change.
