FAQs
What kinds of water purification systems do you install for South Pittsburg homes and businesses?
We offer point-of-entry (whole-house) systems such as multi-stage sediment and carbon filters, water softeners, iron/sulfur removal units, and high-output UV disinfection. For drinking water we install point-of-use reverse-osmosis (RO) systems that fit under the sink or in a break-room cabinet. After an on-site water test we design a solution that targets the specific issues found in Sequatchie Valley water, including hardness minerals, chlorine by-products, and possible well contaminants like iron or bacteria.
How can I tell if my South Pittsburg property actually needs a purification system?
Common warning signs include metallic or chlorine taste, cloudy or rusty water, white scale on fixtures, dry skin after showering, or test results that show elevated hardness, iron, manganese, or coliform bacteria. Even if your water looks fine, a free lab-certified test can reveal invisible contaminants such as lead, PFAS, or nitrates. We provide complimentary testing and a detailed report so you can make an informed decision based on local EPA and Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation guidelines.
Is a whole-house system different from a drinking-water (RO) system, and do I need both?
Yes. A whole-house system treats every tap, mainly to protect plumbing, appliances, and your skin from hardness, iron, sulfur, or chlorine. A point-of-use RO system focuses on producing ultra-pure water for cooking and drinking by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane that removes up to 99% of dissolved solids. Many customers choose both: the whole-house unit for general water quality and equipment longevity, and the RO unit for great-tasting, contaminant-free drinking water.
How much maintenance is involved and can I do it myself?
Typical cartridge-based whole-house filters require a media change every 6–12 months. Back-washing systems regenerate automatically and need professional service only every 2–3 years. Water softeners need salt refills roughly once a month, depending on usage. RO systems have pre/post filters that are changed annually and a membrane that lasts 3–5 years. We offer scheduled maintenance plans, but if you prefer DIY, we supply step-by-step guides and OEM filter packs so you can service the equipment safely.
Will a purification system remove lead, PFAS, and improve the taste of my water?
Absolutely—when the correct technology is selected. Our NSF-certified carbon blocks and reverse-osmosis membranes are proven to reduce lead to below detectable limits and remove up to 95–99% of PFAS compounds. Carbon filtration also eliminates chlorine and many organic compounds responsible for unpleasant taste and odor. After installation we conduct a post-test to verify that the treated water meets or exceeds federal and state health standards and tastes clean, crisp, and odor-free.
How long does installation take and will my water service be interrupted?
Most residential installations are completed in one day. We schedule a 30-minute shut-off window to tie into the main water line, after which service is restored while we finish plumbing and test the system. Commercial or multi-unit projects may take longer, but we can stage the work after hours to minimize downtime. All installations include pressure testing, disinfection of new lines, and a customer walk-through so you know exactly how your new purification equipment operates.
