FAQs

Cleaner, Safer, Softer Water Starts Here 

Don’t guess what's in your water, know for sure. Our local experts offer free water testing and consultations to help you understand your options and get the right system for your needs. 

What does it remove? 

Everything! Depending on your water, your system will be custom tailored to eliminate chemicals and toxins such as chlorine, bacteria, sediment, iron, sulfur, hard water and so much more. 

Which type is right for me? 

We offer systems including activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and hybrid technologies, customized after your free in-home water analysis is complete.

How does it work?

Our systems use multi-stage filtration, often including pre-filters, activated carbon, and specialty media to target local water issues.

How often do I need to replace my hot water heater? 

Most hot water heaters last between 8 and 12 years. However, factors like hard water, sediment buildup, and lack of filtration can shorten that lifespan. If your unit is approaching 10 years or showing signs of wear, it may be time to consider a replacement or upgrade. 

Is a high-efficiency hot water heater worth the investment? 

Yes. Heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) are one of the most energy-efficient options on the market. They offer substantial long-term savings on energy bills, require less maintenance, and often qualify for rebates up to $2,500, making them a smart upgrade for most households. 

Is a tankless hot water heater right for me? 

Tankless water heaters provide on-demand hot water, save space, and offer energy efficiency. They're ideal for homes that are looking to reduce standby energy loss. 

How much of a contaminant can a reverse osmosis system remove? 

RO systems are extremely effective. Here's how much they reduce: 

  • Lead: 95–98% 

  • Chlorine: 98% 

  • Pesticides: Up to 99% 

  • Nitrates: 60–75% 

  • Sulfate: 96–98% 

  • Fluoride: 85–92% 

  • Calcium: 94–98% 

  • Phosphate: 96–98% 

  • Arsenic: 92–96% 

  • Nickel: 96–98% 

  • Mercury: 95–98% 

  • Sodium: 85–94% 

  • Barium: 95–98% 

Does water pressure matter when installing an under-sink RO system? 

Yes, water pressure is critical for proper RO performance. These systems rely on pressure to push water through their semipermeable membranes. 

  • Ideal pressure range: 40–80 psi 

  • Optimal pressure: 60 psi 

Most city water systems fall within this range. If your pressure is below 40 psi, we may recommend a booster pump or an alternative system better suited to your home. 

Why choose reverse osmosis? 

  • Improved Taste & Smell: RO removes odor- and taste-causing chemicals. 

  • Simple Maintenance: Fewer moving parts = easy care. 

  • Contaminant Removal: Filters out lead, chlorine, pesticides, fluoride, and more. 

  • Cost Savings: Eliminate bottled water costs with ultra-clean water for pennies per gallon. 

Why install a reverse osmosis system? 

Millions of families across the U.S. are switching to RO filtration for peace of mind and better health. It’s one of the most effective ways to reduce: 

  • Harmful heavy metals 

  • Chlorine and fluoride 

  • Agricultural runoff 

  • Organic pollutants 

  • Emerging contaminants 

Our certified RO systems can reduce up to 61 contaminants, including 15 emerging threats. With long-lasting filters and smart features, you’ll enjoy clean water with minimal maintenance.
