Correct. We had Nova install both a whole house water filtration unit as well as a NaCl softener (and RO, but that's not really relevant).
And I'm catching up to this thread since there was a lot of helpful information and questions so I'll try to reply to each here:
* RE: Warranty of the appliances. First, these are our own new appliances as new builds don't come with washing machines or dryers (just a refrigerator, oven/range, and dishwasher). So of course I wouldn't expect them to warranty them or even those they installed. But I would think they would be accountable for any damage if basic services they DO warranty to some standard (i.e. plumbing, electrical, etc.) do affect them regardless of provider (developer or buyer).
* RE: Filter at hot water heater: good question. I have no idea if there is one, but I would expect any H2O entry point to be properly screened/set just like the quality of our potable water to be at some standard. So aside from maintenance of the units themselves, home owners shouldn't have to worry about them.
* For Ham_and_Cheese, we are located in Waters Edge - so not far from Wellpoint. Not sure if it's similar as up north, but we've notice significant sandstorms when the wind blows here as most of this area - if not the entire state of Florida - seems to be built on sand.
* For eeroger: Holy $*!T! That would be a nightmare if the HVAC lines were clogged. Was your issue sand too? Or other? I've already flushed my condensation lines and ordered new filters, coil cleaner, vinegar, and an attachment for our shop vac to suck the sludge at least quarterly and new filters to keep on top of maintenance of our system. We run COLD in our house and what many don't realize is these units don't get a break like they do up north so keeping them clean and running efficiently is paramount to their longevity.
Thanks, all!
