Although systems vary slightly, most reverse osmosis water systems include several stages of filtration.
Stage 1: Sediment Filtration
The first filter removes dirt, sand, rust, and other larger particles that could damage the RO membrane.
Stage 2: Carbon Filtration
A carbon filter helps reduce chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and other contaminants that affect the taste, odor, and quality of your water.
Stage 3: Reverse Osmosis Membrane
The RO membrane is the core of the system. It can significantly lower levels of many dissolved contaminants, such as PFAS, nitrates, arsenic, fluoride, sulfates, pharmaceuticals, and other impurities.
Stage 4: Final Polishing Filter
A final carbon filter provides one last stage of filtration before the water reaches your faucet, helping improve taste and freshness.
Reverse Osmosis System Options
Every home has different water quality goals. We install several types of RO systems. We offer both point-of-use drinking water systems (reverse osmosis systems for under-sink installations) and whole-house reverse osmosis systems. We’ll recommend the best option based on your water quality, household size, and daily water usage.
Benefits of Reverse Osmosis Water
- Better-Tasting Water: A reverse osmosis drinking water system helps improve the taste, odor, and appearance of your water.
- Saves Money: Instead of purchasing bottled water or paying for water delivery, you can enjoy high-quality filtered water directly from your faucet. Over time, a reverse osmosis system can significantly reduce your drinking water costs.
- Removes Many Common Contaminants: Reverse osmosis systems are designed to reduce a wide range of impurities, including nitrates, PFAS, chlorine, fluoride, certain bacteria, and more.
- Easy to Maintain: Most reverse osmosis systems have few moving parts, making routine maintenance simple. Regular filter replacements and inspections help keep the system operating efficiently. RO membranes usually need replacement every 3 to 5 years.
- User-Friendly: Once installed, reverse osmosis systems operate automatically. Fresh, filtered water is available whenever you need it.
- Environmentally Friendly: Using a reverse osmosis water filter system for the home can reduce the need for bottled water. This helps decrease plastic waste while providing cleaner drinking water.
