Systems we maintain

Whole-house carbon filters

Carbon media exhausts over time and stops removing chlorine and VOCs. We replace media or cartridges and inspect housing seals.

Every 6–12 months
Reverse osmosis systems

RO systems require annual pre-filter and post-filter replacement plus membrane inspection every 2–3 years. Neglected systems can harbor bacteria.

Every 12 months
Iron filters

Iron filters require backwash media inspection, air pocket checks, and control valve service to maintain iron removal efficiency.

Every 6–12 months
UV disinfection systems

UV lamps lose effectiveness over time even if they appear to be working. Annual lamp replacement is critical for bacteria protection.

Every 12 months
Sediment filters

Sediment pre-filters protect downstream equipment. Clogged cartridges reduce flow and pressure throughout the home.

Every 3–6 months

Annual maintenance plan

Our annual maintenance plan covers one scheduled service visit per year including filter replacements, system inspection, water quality verification, and a written report. Plan members receive priority scheduling and discounted parts.

Plan includes:
Full system inspection and water quality test
Filter media or cartridge replacement (parts at cost)
Sanitization of filter housings and RO tanks
Control valve and bypass valve check
Written service report with water quality readings

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace my whole-house water filter?

Carbon block cartridges typically need replacement every 6–12 months depending on your water quality and household usage. Tank-based carbon media systems last 3–5 years before media replacement. We'll tell you the right schedule for your specific system.

How often does a reverse osmosis system need service?

RO pre-filters and post-filters should be replaced annually. The RO membrane typically lasts 2–3 years. The storage tank should be sanitized annually. Skipping maintenance allows bacteria to grow in the system.

Can you service a system you didn't install?

Yes. We service all brands and system types regardless of who installed them. We'll inspect the system, identify any issues, and recommend the most cost-effective path forward.

What happens if I skip filter maintenance?

Exhausted carbon filters stop removing chlorine and contaminants but continue to pass water, so you won't notice immediately. Over time, bacteria can colonize the filter media. RO membranes that aren't maintained lose rejection efficiency and allow contaminants through.

Keep your water clean year-round.

Schedule your annual maintenance visit and we'll handle the rest — filter replacements, inspections, and a written water quality report.
