FAQ - Clear Core Water Filtration

Question 1

How do I know if I need a water filtration system?

Accepted Answer

Many water problems aren't visible. Hard water, chlorine, sediment, iron and other contaminants can affect your water's taste, smell, plumbing system, appliances and even your skin and hair. A simple professional water test will remove all the guess work and identify the contaminants in your water.

Question 2

What contaminants do your systems remove?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the system, our filters remove chlorine, chloramines, sediment, heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic), bacteria, nitrates, pesticides, and more. Our reverse osmosis systems remove up to 99% of dissolved contaminants. Our systems will address any water issue you have, providing clean, crisp pure water for drinking, bathing, cooking and laundry.

Question 3

Is filtered water better than bottled water?

Accepted Answer

Yes — filtered tap water is often cleaner than bottled water, which is not always held to stricter standards. It is also far more cost-effective and eliminates single-use plastic waste. This will help eliminate micro plastic consumption from plastic water bottles. You can use your favorite non plastic water bottle and fill to the brim with crisp, clean, pure water from your tap after one of our highly effective systems are installed saving thousands of dollars a year.

Question 4

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most installations are completed in 2–4 hours. Whole-home systems may take a full day depending on your plumbing setup. Our technicians handle everything and leave your home clean and tidy.

Question 5

Do I need a plumber for installation?

Accepted Answer

No worries here, I'm a licensed master plumber with over 28 years experience. I'm also a licensed state plumbing inspector as well. I would not recommend a non licensed plumber doing any plumbing work including water filtration, ever.

Question 6

Can I install a system myself?

Accepted Answer

Some of our countertop and shower filter systems are designed for easy DIY installation. However, under-sink, whole-home, and reverse osmosis systems are best installed by a professional to ensure proper performance and avoid leaks.

Question 7

How often do filters need to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the system and your water usage. Pre-filters typically need replacing every 6–12 months, while reverse osmosis membranes last 2–3 years. We offer maintenance plans and send you reminders when it is time for a replacement.

Question 8

What happens if I do not replace my filters on time?

Accepted Answer

Over time, clogged or expired filters become less effective and can allow contaminants to pass through. In some cases, a neglected filter can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Regular replacement keeps your system performing at its best.

Question 9

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offer annual maintenance plans that include scheduled filter replacements, system inspections, and priority service. It is the easiest way to keep your water clean without having to think about it.

Question 10

How much does a water filtration system cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a water filtration system depends on several factors, including the size of your home or business, your water quality, your plumbing system and the type of filtration system that fits your needs. That's why we offer free no-pressure estimates so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Question 11

How much can I save by switching from bottled water?

Accepted Answer

The average family spending $50/month on bottled water saves $600 per year after switching to a home filtration system. Most systems pay for themselves within 1–2 years.

Question 12

Do your systems come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all of our systems come with a manufacturer warranty, and our installation work is backed by our own service guarantee. Contact us for specific warranty details on each product.
