FAQs
Why is water purification important for homes and businesses in Thorn Hill?
Thorn Hill’s municipal supply meets provincial safety standards, but many residents still notice chlorine taste, hardness, and trace contaminants picked up from older pipes or private wells. A properly matched purification system removes chlorine, sediment, heavy metals such as lead, and potential agricultural runoff, giving you cleaner-tasting water, protecting plumbing fixtures, and reducing scale buildup in appliances.
What kinds of water purification systems do you install?
We offer point-of-entry (whole-house) and point-of-use solutions, including sediment filters, carbon filtration, water softeners, reverse-osmosis (RO) units, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, and combination systems that integrate several technologies in one cabinet. All equipment is CSA- and NSF-certified and selected to handle Thorn Hill water pressures and flow rates.
How do I know which purification system is right for my property?
We start with a complimentary on-site water analysis that checks hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), iron, manganese, chlorine, pH, and bacteria. Based on the results, your water usage, and space constraints, our licensed plumber builds a customized solution and provides a clear quote. This ensures you pay only for the treatment stages you actually need.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
Most point-of-entry systems are installed in 3–5 hours. We shut off the main water line, mount the filtration tanks or RO manifold, connect them with PEX or copper, and install a bypass valve so you can still access water during servicing. After purging air and sanitizing the lines, we test flow, pressure, and water quality before leaving. We always obtain any required Thorn Hill plumbing permits and our work is fully insured.
How much maintenance do water purification systems require?
Maintenance is straightforward. Sediment and carbon cartridges are typically replaced every 6–12 months, softener salt is topped up when the brine tank is half empty, and RO membranes last 2–4 years depending on usage. UV lamps are swapped annually to maintain germicidal intensity. We offer affordable maintenance plans or can train you to perform simple filter changes yourself.
Will a purification system save me money or just improve taste?
Both. By eliminating hardness and scale, appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and coffee makers operate more efficiently and last longer, reducing repair and energy costs. Many customers stop buying bottled water altogether, saving hundreds of dollars per year and reducing plastic waste. Most important, you gain peace of mind knowing that every tap in your Thorn Hill home delivers safer, fresher water for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
