Common Questions About Our Systems
Get informed answers to your most pressing questions about water filtration and purification systems.
What makes reverse osmosis effective?
Reverse osmosis uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove impurities, providing clean, great-tasting water by filtering out contaminants at a microscopic level.
Is reverse osmosis water safe for children?
Yes, it is safe for children and ideal for preparing baby formula, as it removes harmful substances that could affect developing immune systems.
How often should I replace the filters?
Filters typically need replacement every 9-15 months, depending on usage and water quality. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.
Can I install the system myself?
While DIY installation is possible, we recommend professional installation to ensure proper setup and compliance with local codes. Self-installation voids part of the system warranty.
Do your systems work with well water?
Yes, our systems are designed to treat both municipal and well water, addressing specific issues like iron, sulfur, and bacteria.
What financing options are available?
We offer flexible financing plans, including low monthly payments, to make clean water accessible to all households.
What is hard water and how does it affect my home?
Hard water contains high levels of minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. Over time, it can lead to scale buildup in pipes, appliances, and water heaters—reducing efficiency and lifespan. It can also leave spots on dishes, dry out your skin and hair, and reduce soap’s effectiveness.
How do I know if I have hard water?
Common signs of hard water include white residue on faucets and showerheads, soap scum in sinks and tubs, dry skin after bathing, dull laundry, and reduced water pressure. We offer free in-home water analysis to confirm the presence and severity of hardness.
What is a water softener and how does it work?
A water softener is a system that removes hardness-causing minerals from water through a process called ion exchange. Resin beads inside the softener trap calcium and magnesium and replace them with sodium or potassium, leaving your water “soft” and appliance-friendly.
