FAQs
What contaminants does your state-of-the-art purification system remove from Winfield’s water supply?
Our multi-stage filtration technology targets the full spectrum of impurities commonly detected in Winfield tap water, including chlorine, chloramines, lead, mercury, PFAS, VOCs, agricultural runoff, micro-plastics, and excess hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium). A dedicated reverse-osmosis (RO) membrane provides sub-micron filtration, while activated carbon and ion-exchange resins polish the taste and remove residual odors. Independent lab tests confirm a 97–99 % reduction of these contaminants, giving you bottle-quality water straight from the tap.
How does the equipment integrate with my existing plumbing?
The system is designed for seamless retrofits. For whole-home treatment, we install a compact manifold at the main water line using corrosion-resistant quick-connect fittings, so no major pipe rerouting is required. If you prefer point-of-use purification, an under-sink RO module connects to the cold-water supply with a dedicated faucet and an optional refrigerator/ice-maker tee. All installations comply with Illinois plumbing codes, include back-flow prevention, and leave room for future expansion (e.g., UV or remineralization stages).
What routine maintenance is required and how often do I replace filters?
Maintenance is straightforward: (1) sediment pre-filter—every 6–12 months, (2) carbon block—every 12 months, (3) RO membrane—every 24–36 months, and (4) optional remineralization/UV lamp—every 12 months. The system’s onboard microcontroller tracks usage and alerts you via LED indicator or optional Wi-Fi app when a cartridge approaches the end of its service life. Most homeowners can change filters themselves with the supplied twist-lock housings; however, we offer affordable annual service plans that include filter kits, performance testing, and a full system sanitization.
Is the purification system certified, and does it meet state and federal standards?
Yes. All critical components carry NSF/ANSI certifications (42 for aesthetic chlorine reduction, 53 for health-related contaminant removal, and 58 for RO performance). The entire assembly is WQA Gold Seal–approved and manufactured in an ISO 9001 facility. Our installation practices comply with the Illinois Plumbing Code and U.S. EPA Safe Drinking Water Act guidelines, ensuring you receive documented, third-party-validated water quality.
What is the typical cost and are financing options available?
A point-of-use RO system starts around $1,200, while a whole-home solution ranges from $2,800 to $3,500, including professional installation, first-year filters, and a 3-year workmanship warranty. We partner with local credit unions to offer 0 % interest for 12 months or low-APR plans up to 60 months. Customers switching from bottled water often see payback within 18–24 months based on average household consumption.
How long does installation take and will my water service be interrupted?
A typical under-sink installation takes about 90 minutes; whole-home units require 2–4 hours. Water service is shut off only during the final connection—usually less than 30 minutes—so you experience minimal disruption. Our technicians arrive with pre-assembled manifolds and use drop cloths and shoe covers to keep your home clean. Before leaving, they run a full pressure/leak test, flush the filters, and provide a brief owner orientation.
