What Is Reverse Osmosis and Why Does It Matter for Florida Homes?

If you’ve ever wondered whether your tap water is truly clean, reverse osmosis might be the answer. RO systems are one of the most effective filtration technologies for removing contaminants—especially important in areas like Cape Coral and North Fort Myers, where water quality can vary from home to home.

At All Around Water Services, we help Florida homeowners install and maintain RO systems tailored to their specific water needs. Here's what you should know.

How Reverse Osmosis Works

Reverse osmosis forces water through a semipermeable membrane that blocks contaminants, allowing only pure water molecules to pass through. This process removes:

• Dissolved salts and minerals

• Chlorine and chloramines

• Lead and heavy metals

• Nitrates, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals

• Bacteria and viruses

Most systems also include pre-filters (sediment and carbon) and post-filters for even cleaner water.

Why RO Is Ideal for Florida Homes

Florida’s groundwater often contains:

• High mineral content (hardness)

• Chlorine from municipal treatment

• Organic material from natural aquifers

• Sediment in well-fed systems

RO systems offer a reliable way to get clean, great-tasting water right from your tap—no bottled water needed.

Where You Can Use an RO System

Reverse osmosis isn’t just for the kitchen. With the right configuration, you can install RO systems:

• Under the sink for drinking water

• As part of a whole-home system

• In refrigerators with water dispensers

• For cooking, ice makers, and coffee machines

We help homeowners choose the right setup based on usage and water quality.

Signs You May Need an RO System

• Water tastes off or has a smell

• Concerns about lead or other contaminants

• Using well water with unknown quality

• Want to stop buying bottled water

• Interested in protecting your health long-term

Ongoing Maintenance Matters

Even high-performing systems need care to stay effective. We recommend:

• Replacing filters every 6–12 months

• RO membrane replacement every 2–3 years

• Routine system inspection for flow rate and pressure

• Sanitizing the tank and lines annually

All Around Water Services offers full service and support so your system always works its best.

Who This Is For

• Families who want better drinking water

• Homeowners with hard or poor-tasting water

• Residents on well or untreated water

• Health-conscious individuals

• Anyone tired of buying bottled water
