FAQs
What common water issues in Reliance can your purification systems address?
Our systems are designed to tackle the most frequently detected problems in Reliance’s municipal and well-water supplies, including chlorine taste and odor, sediment, hardness (calcium and magnesium), iron staining, sulfur (rotten-egg smell), and potentially harmful contaminants such as lead, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and some agricultural run-off. We begin every project with a free on-site water analysis so that the solution we recommend specifically targets the issues found in your home.
How does a whole-house filtration system differ from an under-sink (point-of-use) purifier?
A whole-house (point-of-entry) filter is installed on the main water line where it first enters your home, treating every tap—including showers, laundry, and outdoor spigots. An under-sink or countertop purifier treats only the water that flows to a single fixture, typically the kitchen faucet or refrigerator dispenser. Whole-house units are ideal for problems that affect bathing, laundry, or plumbing longevity (e.g., hardness, iron, sediment), while under-sink systems focus on drinking and cooking water quality (e.g., lead, VOCs, cysts). Many homeowners combine the two for comprehensive coverage.
How often will I need to replace filters or membranes?
Service life varies by model and local water quality, but as a rule of thumb: sediment and carbon pre-filters last 6–12 months; reverse-osmosis (RO) membranes last 2–5 years; and whole-house catalytic carbon or mixed-media beds last 3–10 years. Your installation includes a maintenance schedule and color-coded reminder stickers, and we offer optional automatic email or text alerts. Because Reliance’s water can be moderately hard, staying on schedule prevents mineral buildup and keeps your warranty valid.
Do you provide professional installation and ongoing maintenance in the Reliance area?
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured plumbing contractors serving the entire Reliance region and surrounding counties. Our certified technicians handle everything—from initial water testing and equipment sizing to plumbing, electrical hook-ups, and post-installation verification. Afterward, you can choose a worry-free service plan that covers annual filter changes, inspections, and emergency support, or you can opt for will-call service if you prefer to handle filter replacements yourself.
Are your water purification products certified for safety and performance?
All of our core systems carry third-party certifications such as NSF/ANSI 42 (aesthetic chlorine reduction), NSF/ANSI 53 (health-related contaminant reduction, including lead and cysts), NSF/ANSI 58 (reverse osmosis performance), and NSF/ANSI 61 (material safety). We provide documentation at the time of purchase, and you can verify each model’s listing on the NSF or WQA online databases for added peace of mind.
What does the free water test include and how long does it take?
The in-home test, which typically takes 30–45 minutes, measures hardness, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), iron, manganese, chlorine, and sulfur compounds on the spot. If a more detailed laboratory analysis (e.g., for lead, arsenic, or bacteria) is recommended, we’ll collect a sterile sample and send it to a state-certified lab, with results usually returned in 5–7 business days. The findings are explained to you in plain language, and we prepare a written estimate outlining equipment options, costs, and expected maintenance before any commitment is required.
