What Is Reverse Osmosis? A Florida Homeowner’s Guide to Cleaner, Safer Water

If you've ever wondered how to make your tap water safer, cleaner, and better-tasting—reverse osmosis might be the answer.

Whether you're on city water or a private well, many homes in Cape Coral and North Fort Myers struggle with unwanted tastes, odors, and contaminants. Reverse osmosis (RO) is one of the most trusted, proven ways to solve that.

At All Around Water Services, we install and maintain RO systems that help Florida families enjoy pure, worry-free water at every sip.

What Exactly Is Reverse Osmosis?

Reverse osmosis is a water purification method that removes contaminants using a semi-permeable membrane. It forces water through tiny pores that block harmful particles, leaving you with:

• Clean, filtered water

• No chemicals or heavy metals

• Fresh taste and clarity

The system typically includes multiple stages:

1. Pre-filtration: Removes sediment and chlorine

2. Membrane filtration: Traps tiny contaminants

3. Post-filtration: Polishes water for final taste

4. Storage tank: Holds purified water until use

What Does It Remove?

A properly installed RO system can remove up to 99% of common contaminants, including:

• Lead and arsenic

• Chlorine, fluoride, and VOCs

• Pesticides and nitrates

• Bacteria, viruses, and parasites

• Dirt, rust, and microplastics

Why Florida Homes Need Reverse Osmosis

Florida’s water sources—whether municipal or well—face challenges like:

• Chlorine & chemical treatments in city water

• Sulfur, iron, and bacteria in well systems

• Aging infrastructure that may introduce rust or lead

• Minerals and hardness that affect taste and safety

Reverse osmosis solves all of that in one clean solution.

Where RO Systems Are Installed

While some people use countertop filters, under-sink RO systems are far more powerful and cost-effective. We install them primarily in:

• Kitchen sinks

• Refrigerators (for ice/water dispensers)

• Home bars or coffee stations

Looking for whole-home filtration? We can integrate RO as part of a larger water treatment system too.
