FAQs
Why do I need a water purification system in Shelbyville?
Shelbyville’s municipal and well-water sources can contain hardness minerals, chlorine, sediment, and trace agricultural runoff. While the water is federally regulated, many homeowners notice taste, odor, and scale buildup in plumbing fixtures and appliances. A dedicated purification system removes these contaminants, providing cleaner, better-tasting water and protecting your plumbing and appliances from premature wear.
What types of water purification systems do you offer and install?
We carry and professionally install whole-house carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water units, water softeners, UV disinfection, and hybrid systems that combine multiple technologies. Each system targets specific contaminants: carbon filters reduce chlorine and chemicals; RO removes dissolved solids and heavy metals; softeners eliminate hardness; and UV destroys bacteria and viruses.
How do I know which purification system is right for my home?
Our technicians start with a complimentary on-site water analysis that measures hardness, pH, chlorine, iron, and total dissolved solids (TDS). Based on your results, household size, and water-usage patterns, we recommend a customized solution. For instance, many Shelbyville homes benefit from a softener + carbon combo for whole-house protection plus an RO unit for drinking water.
What maintenance is required and how long will the systems last?
Most systems need only simple yearly service. Carbon filter media is replaced every 12–24 months, RO membranes every 3–5 years, and water-softener salt is replenished as needed. UV lamps are swapped annually. With proper maintenance, softeners and whole-house filters last 10–15 years, and RO units typically exceed 8–10 years.
Will purified water really improve appliance performance and my family’s health?
Yes. Softened and filtered water reduces scale buildup in water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, extending their lifespan and lowering energy bills. Removing chlorine and chemicals also prevents dry skin and improves the taste of drinking water, coffee, and cooking, encouraging healthier hydration for your family.
What does a water purification system cost and is it worth the investment?
Installed prices in Shelbyville start around $800 for point-of-use RO units and $1,500–$3,000 for whole-house systems, depending on capacity and features. Most homeowners see savings through reduced bottled-water purchases, longer-lasting appliances, and lower energy use. Many customers recoup their investment within 3–5 years, and we offer financing options to make it even more affordable.
