What is reverse osmosis, and how does it work?

Answer:

Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove up to 99% of contaminants, including chlorine, lead, fluoride, bacteria, and more. It forces water through this membrane, leaving behind impurities and delivering clean, great-tasting water.

Is reverse osmosis safe for drinking water?

Answer:

Yes! RO is one of the most effective and safest methods for purifying drinking water. It removes harmful contaminants while also improving taste and odor, making it ideal for families who want clean and healthy water from their tap.

What does a reverse osmosis system remove?

Answer:

RO systems remove a wide range of impurities, including:
- Chlorine and chloramines
- Sediment and rust
- Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury)
- Fluoride
- Nitrates and sulfates
- Bacteria and viruses
This results in crisp, clear, and safe water for daily use.

How often does an RO system need maintenance?

Answer:

Typically, filters should be replaced every 6–12 months, and the membrane every 2–3 years. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and long-lasting protection. We offer service plans to keep your system running like new.

Does reverse osmosis waste water?

Answer:

Yes, but efficiently. RO systems discharge a small amount of wastewater (used to flush contaminants away). Modern systems are designed to be more water-efficient, and we can recommend options that reduce waste while maximizing purity.

Can an RO system be installed under any sink?

Answer:

Most RO systems are installed under the kitchen sink, but we’ll evaluate your space and plumbing to ensure proper fit. We also offer whole-home RO systems for larger purification needs.

Will reverse osmosis remove beneficial minerals?

Answer:

Yes, some minerals like calcium and magnesium are removed. However, these are not a primary source of nutrients in most diets. Some systems include a remineralization stage to add healthy minerals back into the water.

Is reverse osmosis better than bottled water?

Answer:

Absolutely. RO water is typically purer than bottled water, more environmentally friendly, and more cost-effective over time. Plus, it’s always available right from your tap—no need to carry heavy cases.

How long does installation take?

Answer:

Most under-sink RO systems take just a few hours to install. Our team handles everything—from setup to testing—so you get clean water fast and hassle-free.

Do you service existing reverse osmosis systems?

Answer:

Yes! Whether we installed it or not, we can inspect, maintain, or repair your current RO system. We also offer upgrades for outdated or underperforming units.
