FAQs
Why does Robbins tap water need additional purification?
While the municipal water supply in Robbins meets federal safety standards, many homeowners still notice hardness minerals, chlorine taste, and trace contaminants that can affect flavor, appliance lifespan, and health sensitivities. Supplemental purification removes these residual impurities, delivering cleaner-tasting, softer water throughout your home.
What types of water purification systems do you install?
We offer point-of-entry (whole-house) and point-of-use (single-faucet) solutions. Popular options include multi-stage carbon filtration for chlorine and chemical reduction, reverse osmosis (RO) units for dissolved solids removal, water softeners that eliminate hardness, and UV disinfection for microbiological safety. Our plumbers test your water and recommend a tailored combination to address Robbins-specific concerns.
How is a whole-house system installed in an existing Robbins home?
Our licensed plumbers first perform a site inspection to locate the main water line entry. We then shut off the supply, cut in a bypass, and mount the purification unit—usually in a basement or utility room. Flexible connectors or hard-piped manifolds tie the system into the plumbing, and pressure is restored after leak checks. Most installations take 3–6 hours and require no drywall removal.
What ongoing maintenance is required?
Maintenance depends on system type: carbon filters are typically replaced every 6–12 months; RO membranes last 2–3 years with prefilter changes every 6–12 months; water softeners need resin cleanings and salt refills monthly; UV lamps are swapped yearly. We offer affordable service plans that include reminder alerts, annual testing, and discounted cartridge changes.
Will a purification system increase my water bill or energy use?
Operating costs are minimal. Whole-house filters add negligible pressure loss, so your water pump or municipal pressure compensates automatically. RO systems waste 3–4 gallons per gallon produced, but they treat only drinking and cooking water, so the impact on your bill is small. UV lamps draw about the same power as a 40-watt bulb. Overall, most homeowners see no noticeable uptick in utilities.
How much does a water purification upgrade cost in Robbins?
Pricing depends on water quality, flow rate, and chosen technology. Single-faucet RO units start around $450 installed. Whole-house carbon filters or softeners range from $1,200 to $2,800, while multi-stage packages that combine softening, carbon, and UV can run $3,000–$4,500. We provide free in-home tests and written quotes, plus financing options to spread payments over 6–24 months.
