FAQs
What advanced water-purification options do you offer for homes and businesses in Soddy-Daisy?
We design and install a full range of solutions, including whole-house reverse-osmosis (RO) systems, multi-stage carbon filtration, catalytic media for iron and sulfur removal, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, and point-of-use membrane filters. Each system can be installed as a stand-alone unit or combined into a custom treatment train that targets the specific chemical and microbiological issues found in Soddy-Daisy’s municipal or well water.
How does a whole-house reverse-osmosis system differ from a standard carbon filter?
A standard carbon filter removes chlorine, chloramine, taste, odor, and some organic chemicals as water passes through activated carbon. A whole-house RO system pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects up to 99% of dissolved salts, heavy metals (lead, arsenic), nitrates, PFAS, and many other contaminants. Because the RO membrane performs such fine filtration, the system normally includes pre-filters (sediment and carbon) and a pressurized storage tank to ensure adequate flow throughout the home.
Is UV disinfection necessary if my Soddy-Daisy property is on city water?
While Tennessee’s regulated municipal utilities treat water to federal safety standards, microbes can still enter the supply through distribution-line breaks, aging household plumbing, or periods of low disinfectant residual. A UV purifier adds a final barrier at the point of entry, instantly deactivating bacteria, viruses, and cysts without chemicals or taste changes. Many homeowners who are immunocompromised, run home-based food businesses, or simply want extra peace of mind choose to pair UV with carbon or RO filtration.
How do I determine which purification technology is best for my water?
Start with a comprehensive water analysis, which our technicians provide free within the Soddy-Daisy area. We test for pH, hardness, TDS, chlorine, metals, volatile organics, and microbial presence. Using those results—and factoring in household size, flow demand, and budget—we present a comparison of recommended systems, their performance guarantees, lifecycle costs, and space requirements so you can make an informed decision.
What ongoing maintenance will my advanced filtration system require?
Most systems need annual sediment and carbon pre-filter changes, RO membrane replacement every 3–5 years, and UV lamp swaps once a year (the quartz sleeve is cleaned at the same time). We offer maintenance plans that include reminder alerts, discounted cartridges, and a yearly performance check to verify removal rates and adjust pressure settings. Proper upkeep protects water quality, extends equipment life, and preserves your warranty.
Will installing an advanced purification system affect my water pressure or utility bills?
High-performance filters inevitably introduce some pressure drop, but we size housings and pumps to keep household pressure within the comfortable 50–70 psi range. RO systems use a small amount of water for membrane flushing—typically adding only a few dollars per month to a Soddy-Daisy utility bill—while carbon or UV systems have virtually no additional operating cost beyond periodic filter media and a 25-40 W UV lamp. If pressure is low at baseline, we can integrate a booster pump to maintain strong flow to all fixtures.
