FAQs
What kinds of water-purification systems does Advanced Technology Plumbing install in the Sale Creek area?
We offer point-of-use and whole-home solutions tailored to Sale Creek’s water profile, including high-capacity carbon filtration for chlorine and chemical reduction, multi-stage reverse osmosis (RO) units for drinking water, UV disinfection to neutralize bacteria and viruses, salt-free and traditional water softeners for hardness control, and hybrid systems that combine these technologies. During a free on-site water test we determine which contaminants or minerals are present and recommend the most efficient combination for your family’s needs and budget.
How does a whole-home reverse osmosis system work, and is it different from a kitchen RO unit?
A kitchen RO unit purifies water at a single faucet, while a whole-home (or point-of-entry) RO system treats every drop before it reaches any fixture. Water first passes through a sediment pre-filter and a catalytic carbon filter to remove dirt, chlorine, and large molecules. It is then forced through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved solids such as lead, arsenic, nitrates, PFAS, and up to 99% of total dissolved solids (TDS). Finally the water enters a storage tank and is repressurized for distribution throughout the house. All wastewater produced during the RO process is routed to a drain. Advanced Technology Plumbing sizes the membrane, pumps, and storage capacity to keep up with the peak flow rates of larger homes in Sale Creek without noticeable pressure loss.
If Sale Creek receives treated municipal water, why would I still need extra filtration?
Tennessee American Water meets federal safety standards, but treatment stops at the plant. As water travels miles of aging mains and service lines it can pick up lead, copper, micro-plastics, sediment, and chlorine by-products that impact taste, odor, and long-term health. Rural parts of Sale Creek also rely on private wells that may be exposed to agricultural runoff, iron, sulfur, or bacteria. A dedicated purification system gives you an additional barrier that you control, guaranteeing consistent taste, clarity, and protection no matter what happens in the distribution network.
How much maintenance do these systems require?
Routine care is simple and can be bundled with your annual plumbing inspection: • Carbon or sediment pre-filters: replace every 6–12 months depending on usage and local water quality. • RO membranes: replace every 2–3 years; we monitor TDS levels to know precisely when. • UV lamp: bulb swap and quartz sleeve cleaning once a year. • Water softener resin bed: regenerate automatically; salt level should be checked monthly. Our technicians label each system with change dates and can enroll you in an auto-ship filter program or a scheduled service plan so you never have to remember.
Will a purification system also stop hard-water scale and protect my plumbing fixtures?
Yes—when hardness exceeds 7 grains per gallon in Sale Creek, we recommend pairing purification with either a salt-based ion-exchange softener or a salt-free template-assisted crystallization (TAC) conditioner. Both options prevent calcium and magnesium from adhering to pipes, heaters, and appliances, extending equipment life and improving water heater efficiency by up to 30%. If you already have a softener, we can integrate it before the RO unit so the membrane lasts longer and operates at peak efficiency.
What does an advanced water-purification system cost, and what is the return on investment?
Installed prices in the Sale Creek market range from about $1,000 for a high-capacity under-sink RO unit to $4,500 for a complete whole-house RO with UV and softening. Operating costs average 3–7 cents per gallon—far less than bottled water. Most families recoup the initial investment in 2–4 years through the elimination of bottled water, longer appliance life, reduced plumbing repairs, and lower energy bills (thanks to scale-free water heaters). Added benefits include better-tasting coffee and ice, brighter laundry, and increased resale appeal; home buyers consistently rate a modern purification system as a top-five “nice to have” feature in our local market.
