Service One
Free Water Testing
Every relationship begins with a reading. A technician arrives with a calibrated total dissolved solids
meter, a hardness titration kit, a chlorine comparator and a pH probe, then draws a cold sample from the
kitchen line. We run each test on site so the numbers are fresh and unshipped, and we write them onto a
report you keep even if you never buy anything from us.
The report covers total dissolved solids before treatment, calcium hardness in grains per gallon, free and
total chlorine, pH and, where it matters, iron and manganese. Those readings tell us whether a sediment
cartridge alone will do, whether a carbon block is needed to strip chlorine before the membrane, and
whether a softener belongs ahead of the system to protect the membrane from scale. We also measure static
line pressure, because a membrane that arrives with forty psi behaves very differently from one that
arrives with eighty.
When the testing is finished we explain what each number means in household terms rather than lab
vocabulary. If your water is already excellent, we will say so and recommend the smallest system that
keeps it that way. The visit costs nothing and carries no obligation to purchase.
Service Two
Under-Sink RO Systems
The under-sink reverse osmosis system is the workhorse of a home drinking water plan. It lives in the
cabinet below the kitchen sink and feeds one dedicated faucet, filtering only the water you actually
drink and cook with. Because it serves a single tap, the machine can be compact while still running four
to six stages: sediment, carbon block, membrane, polishing carbon, an optional mineral drop and an
optional ultraviolet lamp.
Aquavitalis LLC builds each unit around the water test. We choose the membrane by daily demand and
incoming pressure, size the storage tank so a family of five never drains it during dinner, and select a
faucet that matches the finish on your sink. The installation includes a drain saddle, a feed valve on the
cold line and neatly clipped tubing routed so the cabinet still holds its pots and pans.
Before we close the cabinet door we pressure test every joint, flush the new cartridges to clear the
protective coating, and read the finished water at the tap. You see the before and after numbers side by
side, typically a drop from a few hundred parts per million to somewhere between twelve and thirty.
Service Three
Whole-House Filtration
Some homes want treated water at every fixture, not only at the kitchen tap. A whole-house system sits at
the point of entry where the main line enters the building, so showers, laundry, dishwashers and water
heaters all draw filtered water. We build those systems as a train: a high capacity sediment vessel to
catch grit, a carbon vessel to strip chlorine and taste, an optional softener to remove hardness, and a
dedicated reverse osmosis loop that still feeds the kitchen for drinking.
Sizing a whole-house system is a matter of flow, not of tank volume. We measure the incoming line size and
the peak demand of the household, then select vessels that will not starve a shower when the washing
machine fills at the same moment. The softener is bypassed at the kitchen cold line so drinking water does
not carry added sodium, and the RO loop takes that unsoftened but carbon filtered water and polishes it
for the glass.
Installation includes a bypass manifold so you can service the train without shutting water off to the
house, a drain line for backwash, and a pressure gauge at each stage so a future technician can see at a
glance where a restriction has developed.
Service Four
Filter Subscription Changes
Cartridges do not fail loudly. A sediment element loads slowly, a carbon block exhausts its capacity
quietly, and a membrane loses rejection over months rather than days. The filter subscription exists so
that none of those changes arrive as a surprise. On a schedule matched to your water and your usage, we
deliver the correct cartridges and a technician arrives to install them.
During each change visit we swap the sediment, carbon and polishing cartridges, test the membrane
rejection and replace it only when the reading calls for it, then log the new total dissolved solids
figure against the previous one. Spent housings leave with us and are recycled rather than stacked in a
garage. Subscription holders also receive priority placement in the quarterly scheduling window, so a
change that lands during a busy month still gets booked promptly.
The subscription is not a lock in. Pause it for a vacation home, accelerate it for a growing family, or
cancel it outright. The cartridges are the same ones we would install on a one time visit, at a
predictable interval with predictable pricing.
Service Five
Annual System Sanitization
Once a year, a reverse osmosis system deserves more than fresh cartridges. The storage tank and the tubing
downstream of the membrane are wet, dark and slow moving, which is exactly the environment where biofilm
likes to form. Annual sanitization opens the machine, drains and disinfects the tank, flushes the lines,
and returns the whole downstream side to a clean starting state.
The visit also covers the mechanical health of the system. We inspect the O rings on every housing, replace
any that have flattened or cracked, check the flow restrictor, test the auto shutoff valve, and look for
scale on the membrane housing. Mineral deposits reveal themselves early here, and a small adjustment at
this stage prevents a membrane replacement later.
Sanitization is scheduled on the same calendar as the subscription changes so the two visits fall together
where possible. That keeps the system on one predictable rhythm and keeps the first glass of the morning
tasting exactly like the last glass of the night.
Service Six
Leak Protection and Monitoring
Water damage rarely starts with a burst pipe. It starts with a slow weep from a compression fitting, a
cracked O ring or a hairline split in a length of tubing, dripping quietly onto a cabinet floor for weeks.
Leak protection closes that gap. Every system Aquavitalis LLC installs carries a shutoff valve and a
battery backed leak sensor placed on the lowest point of the cabinet or the equipment pan.
When the sensor detects water it closes the valve at the supply, stopping the flow before the puddle
becomes a repair bill. An audible alarm sounds at the machine, and on monitored installations a wireless
notice reaches your phone through the hub we provide. The same sensor reports a dry contact daily so a
dead battery announces itself instead of hiding.
During service visits a technician checks the sensor, exercises the valve and replaces the battery on a
fixed interval. Leak protection is the least visible service on the rack and the one most likely to save
you the most money.
