What a 4-hour install actually looks like

Before we arrive

We confirm the install window the day before, and we send a photo of the technician who will be in your house. You know who is at the door.

Hour 1: protect the home, rough in the lines

Drop cloths down, water shut-off located and tagged, copper or PEX runs measured for the new bypass loop. Nothing visible to you yet, this is the unglamorous part that determines whether your install lasts 25 years.

Hour 2: set the equipment

Resin tank, brine tank, pre-sediment housing, carbon block stack, placed, leveled, anchored. Bypass loop dry-fit before any solder or push-fit.

Hour 3: commission

Slow fill, leak check, program the valve to your hardness and household size, sanitize the resin, verify pressure at the kitchen tap.

Hour 4: test, clean, walk-through

We test the water leaving the new system in front of you, hand you the before-and-after strip, walk the install head to toe, and leave. No mess, no debris bag for you to take out.

A certified technician comes to your house, tests your water on the spot, and walks you through every number. About forty-five minutes. No pressure.
