Frequently Asked Questions
Is carbon filtration right for city water or well water?
It is best for city water, where chlorine is the main complaint. On a well we test first, because wells often need iron or bacteria treatment too.
How does carbon compare to reverse osmosis?
Carbon removes chlorine taste and many chemicals and costs less. RO goes further and reduces many dissolved contaminants but treats one tap.
Will carbon remove chloramine?
Standard carbon is less effective on chloramine. We use catalytic carbon when your supply uses it.
What’s the installation process like?
Our technician arrives, shuts off your water for about 4 hours, installs the system, pressure tests it and makes sure everything flows correctly. You are back to normal water use that day.
What warranty do you offer?
A 1-year warranty on all equipment, plus our satisfaction guarantee: if you are not happy, we will adjust or replace.
Can you service my existing system?
Yes. We can maintain or upgrade any water system. We assess it during your free consultation.
Do you serve my area?
Yes. We serve Tacoma, Puyallup, Bremerton, Port Orchard, Olympia, Lacey and surrounding areas.
