Frequently Asked Questions

What type of water filtration system do I need for my home?

It depends on your water source and concerns.

  • Whole-house systems treat all water entering your home (ideal for hard water, chlorine, sediment)
  • Under-sink filters are great for improving drinking and cooking water
  • Reverse osmosis and UV systems offer advanced purification for bacteria, viruses, or serious contaminants
    Our technician will test your water and recommend the best solution for your needs and budget.

Most filters need replacement every 3 to 6 months, depending on the system and usage. We’ll walk you through a maintenance schedule and show you how to monitor for changes in water taste, smell, or pressure — all signs your filter may be due for a change.

  • Filter maintenance: 30–45 minutes

    We always provide a clear estimate before starting the job, and we clean up thoroughly when we’re done.
