FAQs
What makes your water-purification technology different from standard filtration systems?
Our system combines advanced reverse-osmosis membranes with ultraviolet (UV-C) sterilization and real-time digital monitoring. The multistage process eliminates up to 99.99 % of bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and micro-plastics while a built-in sensor suite continuously tracks water quality and alerts you via a mobile app. This integration of purification, automation, and data analytics is unique in the Turtletown market.
How does the purification process actually work inside my home?
Water enters a sediment pre-filter that removes sand, rust, and larger particulates. It then passes through an activated-carbon block that adsorbs chlorine, pesticides, and organic chemicals. Next, a high-pressure pump pushes the water through a 0.0001-micron reverse-osmosis membrane to reject dissolved solids like lead, arsenic, and fluoride. Finally, purified water flows through a UV-C chamber that deactivates any remaining microorganisms before it reaches your tap or refrigerator line.
Which contaminants are specifically removed or reduced by the system?
Certified laboratory tests show significant reduction of: • Heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium) • Nitrates and nitrites • PFAS and other emerging contaminants • Chlorine and chloramines • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene • Pharmaceutical residues • Bacteria (E. coli), viruses, and cysts (Giardia, Cryptosporidium) • Micro-plastics down to 0.1 µm. The residual total dissolved solids (TDS) levels typically drop from 300–600 ppm (average Turtletown municipal supply) to 10–30 ppm.
Is the system safe and compliant with Turtletown and state regulations?
Yes. The equipment is NSF/ANSI 58 and 55 Class A certified, meeting both Tennessee state and Turtletown municipal plumbing codes. All materials contacting water are BPA-free and lead-free in accordance with the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act. We file the required backflow-prevention documentation with the Turtletown Building Department before completing each installation.
What maintenance does the system require, and what will it cost me each year?
The pre-filter and carbon stage cartridges need replacement every 6–12 months, depending on usage, at an average cost of $45. The RO membrane typically lasts 24–36 months ($89), and the UV lamp is replaced annually ($39). Homeowners can change filters themselves in minutes, or choose our worry-free service plan for $12 per month, which covers all parts, labor, and annual water-quality testing.
How is the system installed and how long does it take?
A licensed Turtletown plumber performs a site assessment, then installs the compact purification unit—usually beneath the kitchen sink—and connects it to the cold-water line, drain, and optional refrigerator or ice maker feed. A dedicated faucet is mounted on your countertop for purified water. Typical installations take 2–3 hours with no major alterations to existing plumbing. Same-day appointments are often available, and the water is ready to drink immediately after installation.
