FAQs
What common water quality issues in Tullahoma can a home purification system resolve?
Tullahoma’s municipal and well water often contain hard minerals (calcium and magnesium), chlorine by-products, sediment, and trace levels of agricultural runoff such as nitrates. A properly sized purification system—typically a multi-stage unit with a sediment pre-filter, activated carbon, and either reverse osmosis (RO) or a water softener—removes or significantly reduces these contaminants. The result is softer, better-tasting water, protection for plumbing fixtures, and safer drinking water for your family.
How do I know which type of purification system is right for my home?
We start with a complimentary on-site water test that pinpoints hardness, pH, chlorine, iron, sulfur, and other potential contaminants specific to Tullahoma’s water sources. Based on the test and your household’s water usage, we recommend the most efficient solution—ranging from whole-house softeners and carbon filtration to point-of-use RO units or ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. This customized approach ensures you invest only in the equipment you need, avoiding oversizing or inadequate treatment.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
After selecting a system, our licensed plumbers schedule a convenient installation date. Most whole-house systems require 3–5 hours, while under-sink RO units take 1–2 hours. We shut off the main water supply, add a bypass loop if necessary, mount the filtration tanks or RO module, connect inlet/outlet lines, and perform a pressure/leak test. Once complete, we flush the filters, test water quality again, and walk you through routine maintenance procedures. Your water is ready to use the same day.
How often will my filters or softener resin need maintenance or replacement?
Maintenance depends on water chemistry and system type. In Tullahoma, sediment and carbon pre-filters generally last 6–12 months. RO membranes average 2–3 years, and UV lamps should be replaced annually. Water softeners require periodic salt refills—typically one 40-lb bag per month for a family of four—and resin media lasts 10–15 years with proper upkeep. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include scheduled filter changes, media checks, and annual water retesting.
Are whole-house water purification systems energy efficient and cost-effective?
Yes. Most modern softeners and carbon units operate on demand, using as little as 20–30 cents of electricity per month. RO systems consume no power unless equipped with a booster pump. The upfront investment is offset by savings on bottled water, reduced scale damage to appliances, longer clothing and fixture life, and lower soap usage. Homeowners in Tullahoma typically recoup installation costs within 3–5 years, especially if they previously relied on single-serve bottled water.
Do you provide any warranties or service guarantees for Tullahoma customers?
Absolutely. All systems come with a manufacturer’s warranty—usually 5 years on tanks and valves and 1–3 years on electrical components. Our company adds a one-year labor guarantee covering workmanship, plus free follow-up water testing during that period. Extended service contracts are available for ongoing filter replacements and emergency service calls. Because we are locally based in Tullahoma, response times for any warranty or maintenance issue average less than 24 hours.
