FAQs
What makes your cutting-edge water purification technology different from traditional systems?
Our system combines multi-stage nanofiltration, UV-C sterilization, and real-time digital monitoring in a single, compact unit. While conventional softeners or carbon filters target only certain impurities, our solution removes sediments, chlorine, heavy metals, PFAS, micro-plastics, bacteria, and viruses in one pass. The onboard sensors continuously analyze flow rate, pressure, and contaminant levels, then send data to a mobile app so you always know your water quality. This integrated, data-driven approach delivers safer, better-tasting water with significantly lower waste and energy consumption than reverse-osmosis systems of the past.
How does the installation process work for homes and businesses in Townsend?
After a free on-site water test, our licensed Townsend-based plumbers design a custom configuration that suits your property’s plumbing layout and usage patterns. Most residential installs take 3–4 hours and require no structural changes; commercial projects typically finish within a day. We mount the purification module on the main supply line, connect power to a standard 120-V outlet, and integrate the Wi-Fi gateway. Before leaving, we flush the system, verify digital readings, and train you on app features. All work is fully permitted and compliant with Maine plumbing codes and local Townsend regulations.
What contaminants does the system remove, and is the treated water ready to drink immediately?
Yes—water leaving the unit is potable the moment it reaches your tap. The multi-stage design removes: • sediments down to 0.1 µm, • chlorine/chloramine, • lead, mercury, and other heavy metals, • PFAS and volatile organic compounds, • agricultural runoff (nitrates, pesticides), • bacteria (E. coli), cysts (Giardia), and viruses, • taste- and odor-causing compounds. An optional remineralization cartridge can add back healthy calcium and magnesium for balanced pH if desired.
How often do filters and membranes need service or replacement?
Under typical Townsend water conditions, the pre-filter lasts 6–9 months, the nanofiltration membrane 24–36 months, and the UV-C lamp 12 months (8,000-hour lifespan). The system’s smart sensors track usage and automatically alert you—via the LED panel and smartphone app—when any component is approaching end of life. Replacements are plug-and-play and can be completed without tools in under five minutes. We also offer an optional maintenance plan that includes annual inspections and discounted consumables.
Are your purification systems certified and compliant with Maine and federal regulations?
Absolutely. Every model carries NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 58, and 401 certifications for contaminant reduction, as well as NSF/ANSI 55 Class A certification for UV disinfection. Materials are UPC-listed and lead-free to NSF/ANSI 372 standards. We’re registered with the Maine Drinking Water Program and adhere to US EPA Safe Drinking Water Act guidelines. Copies of compliance documents are provided at installation and are available for review upon request.
What warranty, financing, and ongoing support do you offer to Townsend customers?
Residential systems include a 10-year warranty on the housing, a 5-year warranty on electronic controls, and a 1-year warranty on consumables. Commercial units feature a 5-year comprehensive parts and labor warranty. Zero-interest financing is available for qualified Townsend homeowners with terms up to 24 months; longer terms are offered through partnering credit unions. Our local support line operates 24/7, and emergency service calls within Townsend city limits are guaranteed within four hours. Free software updates keep your system secure and efficient for its entire lifespan.
