FAQs
How does Talbott Plumbing’s industry-leading water purification technology work?
Our system combines multi-stage mechanical filtration, catalytic carbon adsorption, and high-output UV disinfection. First, a pleated sediment filter traps rust, sand, and particulates down to 1 micron. Water then passes through an activated catalytic carbon block that removes chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, and PFAS. Finally, a 40 mJ/cm² UV chamber inactivates 99.99 % of bacteria, viruses, and cysts without adding chemicals. The result is crisp, safe water straight from every tap.
Which contaminants are removed by the Talbott purification system?
The system is engineered to target more than 80 contaminants commonly found in East Tennessee water, including lead, mercury, arsenic, nitrates, PFAS ("forever chemicals"), chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, herbicides, micro-plastics, and microbial pathogens such as E. coli, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium. Independent lab tests verify reduction rates that meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, 55, and 401.
Will the purification unit reduce my home’s water pressure or flow rate?
No. The high-capacity manifold is sized for 1-inch main lines and sustains flows up to 15 gpm—enough for large homes with multiple simultaneous fixtures. Pressure loss is typically less than 2 psi, an amount most homeowners never notice. If you have unique high-demand applications, our technicians can upsize the housing or design a parallel-flow configuration to maintain full pressure.
What certifications and warranties back the Talbott system?
All critical components carry NSF/ANSI certification for material safety and contaminant reduction. The UV reactor is UL listed, and the entire assembly is manufactured in an ISO-9001 facility. We provide a 10-year warranty on the stainless-steel housing, 5 years on the control head, and a lifetime workmanship guarantee on our installation.
How often do filters and UV lamps need to be replaced?
Sediment and carbon cartridges last 6–12 months depending on water quality and usage (we include complimentary tests to set the right schedule). The UV lamp is rated for 9,000 hours—about one year of continuous operation. Our Talbott Care Plan offers automatic reminders, discounted replacement parts, and an annual inspection so you never have to track maintenance yourself.
What are the cost and environmental benefits of installing a whole-home purifier?
Homeowners typically save $300–$600 per year by eliminating bottled water and extending the lifespan of water-using appliances that suffer scale and sediment damage. Environmentally, a family of four can keep roughly 2,500 single-use plastic bottles out of local landfills each year. Lower chlorine exposure also reduces the off-gassing that corrodes plumbing fixtures, translating into fewer repairs down the road.
