Clean Water Is Not Just About Taste

Water Filtration FAQs
Filter replacement frequency depends on the system type and your water usage. Sediment pre-filters typically need replacement every three to six months, carbon block filters every six to twelve months, and RO membranes every two to three years. We provide a maintenance schedule with every installation and offer filter replacement service throughout Sunnyside-Tahoe City, CA.
A properly sized and maintained whole-home filtration system has minimal impact on water pressure. Some pressure drop occurs across filters, which we account for during system sizing. RO systems produce water more slowly due to the membrane process, which is why they incorporate a storage tank. We assess your existing pressure before recommending any system in Sunnyside-Tahoe City, CA.
In most cases, yes. A properly maintained whole-home or point-of-use RO system produces water that meets or exceeds the purity of most bottled water brands, without the environmental impact, recurring cost, or potential for plastic leaching. You also have full transparency about your water quality through regular testing, which you do not have with most bottled brands.
What Sunnyside-Tahoe City, CA Residents Are Saying
We noticed our dishes had spots, our shower heads clogged constantly, and the water tasted odd. Payne Plumbing tested our water, installed a whole-home filter plus RO for the kitchen, and the difference is remarkable. Our water tastes better than anything from a bottle now.
We have a young child and were concerned about lead in our older home's pipes. Payne Plumbing tested our water, confirmed elevated lead levels, and installed an under-sink RO system. Re-tested afterward and levels were undetectable. Incredibly thorough and professional team.
Stopped buying bottled water after Payne Plumbing installed our reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink. The water is incredible. They also set us up with annual filter service so we never have to think about maintenance. Best home improvement investment we have made.
