Reverse Osmosis Systems

RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane under pressure. The membrane has pores small enough to block dissolved salts, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses and most other contaminants. The rejected contaminants are flushed away and clean water is stored in a tank.

Traditional RO systems use 3 to 4 gallons of water for every 1 gallon of purified water produced. Modern high-efficiency systems reduce this significantly. We can recommend efficient systems that minimize wastewater.

Yes. Most people find RO water tastes noticeably cleaner and crisper because dissolved minerals, chlorine and other taste compounds are removed. Many systems include a remineralization stage to add beneficial minerals back if preferred.

Pre-filters and post-filters typically need replacement every 6 to 12 months. The main RO membrane lasts 2 to 5 years depending on water quality and usage. We include a maintenance schedule with every installation.

Yes. We can connect your refrigerator ice maker and water dispenser to your under-sink RO system so your ice and chilled water are also purified. This is one of the most popular add-ons we install.

RO is the most thorough residential purification available, removing contaminants that standard carbon filters cannot including dissolved solids, fluoride and nitrates. For drinking and cooking water RO is the gold standard. Combining a whole home filter with an RO drinking system gives the best whole-home protection.
