FAQs
What types of water purification systems do you install for Signal Mountain homeowners?
We install a full range of NSF-certified equipment, including whole-house carbon filtration for chlorine and chemical taste, reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking water systems, UV disinfection for bacteria, salt-based and salt-free water softeners, and specialty filters that target iron, sulfur, or manganese common in our ridge-top wells. Because we are a licensed plumbing contractor, we can integrate the purification unit directly into your home’s main water line or at point-of-use locations such as the kitchen sink or refrigerator.
How do I know which water filtration or softening solution is right for my household?
Start with a water analysis. We provide complimentary on-site testing that measures hardness, pH, iron, manganese, TDS, chlorine, and microbial contamination. Once we have your results, our technician will discuss your family’s water-use habits, space constraints, and budget to design a customized system. We then offer a written proposal that outlines equipment specs, expected improvement, and lifetime operating costs so you can make an informed decision.
Will a water purification system eliminate the hard-water problems many Signal Mountain residents experience?
Yes. Installing a properly sized ion-exchange softener removes the calcium and magnesium minerals that cause scale buildup on fixtures, cloudy dishes, dingy laundry, and reduced appliance life. For customers who prefer low-sodium options, we also offer template-assisted crystallization (TAC) and electronic conditioning units that neutralize hardness without salt or back-washing.
How often do purification systems need maintenance and filter changes?
Maintenance depends on the type of system and your water quality, but these are typical guidelines: • Whole-house carbon tanks: media replacement every 5–7 years. • Cartridge sediment or carbon filters: change every 3–6 months. • RO membranes: replace every 2–3 years, with pre-filters every 6–12 months. • Water softeners: add salt as needed and schedule an annual check-up to sanitize the brine tank and verify valve settings. We offer affordable service plans that include reminders, discounted filters, and a yearly performance audit.
Is professional installation really necessary, or can I put in a water filter myself?
Countertop or pitcher-style filters can be DIY, but whole-house systems require cutting into the main supply line, sizing bypass valves, pressure testing, and adhering to plumbing code. Improper installation can cause leaks, pressure loss, or contamination. Our licensed plumbers ensure correct pipe sizing, thermal expansion control, electrical grounding, and code-compliant drain connections for back-washing units—protecting both your home and the manufacturer’s warranty.
Do you offer water testing and consultations before recommending a system?
Absolutely. We believe personalization starts with knowledge. Our technician will collect water samples on site, run a suite of field tests, and, if needed, send samples to a certified lab for detailed analysis (lead, VOCs, or bacteria). Within 48 hours you’ll receive a written report and a no-obligation consultation outlining treatment options, upfront costs, and long-term maintenance expectations.
