FAQs
Why is water purification especially important for homes and businesses in Pikeville?
Pikeville’s municipal and well-water sources can contain elevated levels of minerals such as iron and manganese, traces of agricultural run-off, and occasional sediment from our region’s limestone geology. A dedicated purification system removes these impurities, prevents staining on fixtures and appliances, improves taste and odor, and safeguards health by reducing potential bacteria and chemical contaminants.
What contaminants can your purification systems remove, and how effective are they?
Our multi-stage systems target a wide spectrum of impurities. Sediment pre-filters catch dirt and rust down to 5 microns; catalytic carbon blocks remove chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by up to 99%; ion-exchange resins soften hard water by replacing calcium and magnesium with sodium or potassium ions; and optional reverse-osmosis (RO) membranes strip dissolved solids, lead, arsenic, and fluoride to 0.0001-micron levels, achieving 95–99% contaminant reduction.
How does the installation process work, and how long does it take?
After a complimentary on-site water test, we recommend the right configuration for your property. Installation typically involves mounting the filtration tanks or RO unit near the main water line, adding bypass valves, and integrating a dedicated faucet if an under-sink RO is chosen. A standard whole-house system can be installed within 3–5 hours, while complex commercial setups may take a full day. All work is performed by licensed Pikeville plumbers who follow local code and pull any required permits.
What routine maintenance is required to keep the system operating efficiently?
Sediment and carbon cartridges need replacement every 6–12 months, depending on usage and water quality. Softener brine tanks should be checked monthly to ensure adequate salt levels. RO systems require membrane replacement every 24–36 months and sanitization once a year. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include filter changes, performance testing, and system sanitization on a preset schedule so you never have to worry about remembering.
How much does a purification system cost, and is financing available?
Pricing varies with capacity and technology. A basic whole-house sediment and carbon filter starts around $900 installed, while a combination softener-carbon package averages $1,800–$2,400. Under-sink RO units range from $450–$750. We partner with financing providers to offer low-interest plans with payments as little as $25 per month, and we can calculate payback based on reduced bottled-water purchases and longer appliance life.
How do I choose the right size system for my household or business?
We size systems based on daily water demand (gallons per day) and peak flow rate (gallons per minute). For a typical Pikeville family of four, a 10–12 GPM whole-house system with a 48,000-grain softener capacity suffices. Restaurants or medical offices may need higher flow units or duplex systems to handle continuous usage. Our technicians perform a water analysis, count fixtures, and review operating hours to recommend a properly-sized, scalable solution that ensures consistent pressure and quality.
