FAQs
What contaminants are typically found in Sale Creek’s water, and how do your purification systems remove them?
While Sale Creek’s municipal supply meets federal safety standards, residents often report elevated levels of sediment, chlorine by-products, iron, sulfur odors, and hard-water minerals. Our multi-stage purification solutions—combining sediment pre-filters, activated carbon, catalytic carbon, ion exchange, and optional reverse osmosis—target each of these issues. Sediment filters trap rust and silt, carbon media adsorb chlorine and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), catalytic carbon removes sulfur taste and odor, ion-exchange softening reduces hardness, and RO membranes strip out up to 99% of dissolved solids, including lead and nitrates. The result is cleaner, better-tasting water throughout your home.
What types of water purification systems do you install, and how do they differ?
We offer three primary categories: 1. Whole-house filtration systems – Installed at the main water line, these treat every tap. They’re ideal for sediment, chlorine, sulfur, and mild hardness. 2. Water softeners – Ion-exchange units dedicated to removing calcium and magnesium that cause scale. They protect plumbing and appliances but don’t address chemical contaminants. 3. Point-of-use reverse osmosis (RO) systems – Typically installed under the kitchen sink for drinking and cooking water. RO removes the widest range of impurities, including dissolved salts and heavy metals. Many homeowners pair a softener or carbon whole-house filter with an RO unit for comprehensive coverage.
How can I determine which purification solution is right for my Sale Creek home?
Start with a professional water test. We provide complimentary on-site testing that checks pH, hardness, iron, chlorine, total dissolved solids, and sulfur. Based on those results, your household size, water usage, and budget, we’ll recommend the most efficient combination—whether that’s a single whole-house carbon filter, a softener plus RO, or a smart multi-media system. We explain the pros, cons, and operating costs of each option so you can make an informed decision.
Will installing a whole-house filtration or softening system reduce my water pressure or damage existing plumbing?
When sized and installed correctly, today’s systems maintain normal pressure (typically 8–10 gpm for a standard residence). We select valves and media beds rated for your home’s flow rate and ¾″–1″ plumbing. Our licensed plumbers also include a bypass line, pressure gauge, and isolation valves so routine maintenance never disrupts household water. Far from harming your plumbing, filtration and softening prevent scale buildup, corrosion, and appliance wear, extending the life of heaters, faucets, and fixtures.
What kind of maintenance should I expect, and can I handle it myself?
Most whole-house carbon filters need a media change every 5–7 years, while softener resin lasts 10+ years with regular salt refills. A point-of-use RO system typically requires: sediment pre-filter (6–12 months), carbon post-filter (12 months), and membrane (2–3 years). We offer affordable maintenance plans that include annual check-ups, filter replacements, and system sanitization. DIY-minded homeowners can perform basic cartridge changes; however, professional service ensures water quality testing, valve calibration, and warranty preservation.
Do your water purification solutions come with warranties, and are financing options available?
Yes. Our preferred manufacturers back tanks and valves with limited lifetime or 10-year warranties, RO membranes with 3-5 years, and electronics with 5 years. We register all equipment on your behalf and provide our own 1-year labor warranty covering installation workmanship. For budget flexibility, we partner with local lenders to offer 0% interest plans for 6–18 months or extended low-interest financing up to 60 months, subject to credit approval, so you can enjoy high-quality water without upfront strain.
