Think You Don’t Need Reverse Osmosis? 5 Myths Florida Homeowners Should Stop Believing

Florida water isn't always the cleanest or safest, whether you're on city supply or private well. Still, many homeowners delay getting a filtration system because of common misconceptions about reverse osmosis (RO). At All Around Water Services, we hear these myths all the time—and it's time to set the record straight.

Myth 1: “My Water Looks Fine—It Must Be Safe.”

Many contaminants are invisible and odorless. Substances like lead, nitrates, arsenic, and pharmaceuticals often can’t be seen or smelled but can affect your health over time.

What you need is a water quality test to be sure.

Myth 2: “Reverse Osmosis Removes Healthy Minerals.”

It's true that RO systems remove both harmful contaminants and trace minerals, but those minerals aren’t your main source of nutrition—your diet is.

If you're concerned, we offer remineralization filters to add healthy minerals back into the water.

Myth 3: “RO Systems Waste a Lot of Water.”

Older systems used more water, but modern reverse osmosis units are far more efficient. In fact, they can use less water overall than letting your tap run while washing vegetables or brushing teeth.

Some models even recycle wastewater internally.

Myth 4: “RO Water Tastes Weird.”

Reverse osmosis removes everything—including chemicals that affect flavor. What you’re tasting is the absence of chlorine, sulfur, and metallic aftertastes.

The result is clean, neutral water that improves the taste of everything you drink or cook.

Myth 5: “RO Systems Are Too Expensive.”

RO systems are a one-time investment that quickly pays for itself. The average family spends hundreds each year on bottled water, and an RO system can last over a decade.

We also offer affordable maintenance plans that take the guesswork out of filter changes.
