FAQs
What advanced technologies do you use in your water purification systems for South Pittsburg homes?
Our systems combine multi-stage mechanical filtration, catalytic carbon blocks, UV-C disinfection, and optional reverse osmosis (RO) polishing. Mechanical filters trap sediment down to 5 µm, catalytic carbon removes chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, and VOCs, UV-C neutralizes 99.99 % of bacteria and viruses, and the RO stage eliminates dissolved solids such as lead, arsenic, and PFAS. The components are integrated into smart controllers that monitor flow rate, lamp life, and filter saturation, ensuring optimal performance with minimal user intervention.
How does a whole-house water purification system benefit South Pittsburg residents specifically?
South Pittsburg’s municipal water meets federal standards but still picks up chloramines, hardness minerals, and traces of agricultural runoff from the Sequatchie Valley watershed. A whole-house system protects every tap, shower, and appliance from these contaminants. Residents notice cleaner-tasting water, softer skin and hair, reduced scale buildup in water heaters and plumbing fixtures, longer appliance life, and fewer spots on dishes and glassware. The system also safeguards well users from seasonal bacteria spikes caused by heavy rains along the Tennessee River.
Are your water purification systems certified and compliant with local and national regulations?
Yes. All critical components carry NSF/ANSI certifications: Standard 42 for aesthetic chlorine reduction, Standard 53 for health-related contaminant removal (lead, cysts, VOCs), Standard 55 Class A for UV disinfection, and Standard 58 for RO elements. Our installers are Tennessee-licensed master plumbers who pull permits with the Marion County codes office when required. Every installation adheres to the 2021 International Plumbing Code and local backflow-prevention ordinances.
What kind of maintenance is required, and how often?
Maintenance is straightforward: sediment cartridges are replaced every 6–12 months (sooner if you have high turbidity); catalytic carbon media is swapped every 3 years; UV lamps are changed annually while the quartz sleeve is cleaned; and RO membranes last 2–5 years depending on feed-water quality. The smart controller sends text or email alerts when any component nears end-of-life, and our service plans include an annual onsite inspection, water quality test, and performance tune-up.
Can the system address hard water and improve taste as well as safety?
Absolutely. The catalytic carbon stage removes taste- and odor-causing chemicals, while optional template-assisted crystallization (TAC) cartridges or a salt-free softening module neutralize hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) without adding sodium. This dual approach delivers smooth, great-tasting water and prevents scale inside pipes, faucets, and water-using appliances—important in South Pittsburg, where hardness typically ranges from 130–160 ppm.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
After a free on-site water analysis, we design a tailored system and provide a transparent quote. Once approved, a two-person crew arrives with prefabricated manifolds to minimize downtime. Installation involves shutting off the main, adding a bypass loop, mounting the filtration and UV modules, connecting drain lines, and programming the controller. Most residential installations take 4–6 hours, after which we flush the system, perform a bacteriological test, and show you how to read the digital dashboard. All work is backed by a 10-year warranty on tanks and housings and a 3-year labor guarantee.
