Best Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration Systems

Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove ions, unwanted molecules, and larger particles from drinking water. In reverse osmosis, pressure is applied to overcome osmotic pressure, forcing water molecules through the membrane while leaving contaminants behind.

This process effectively removes up to 99% of dissolved salts, particles, colloids, organics, bacteria, and pyrogens from the water, resulting in clean, great-tasting drinking water.

The best system for your home depends on several factors:

• Tankless RO System: Ideal for homeowners who want the most advanced technology, have limited space under their sink, and desire high flow rates with minimal water waste.
• Under-Sink RO System: Perfect for homeowners who prefer a traditional system with proven reliability and don't mind the space required for a storage tank.

During your free consultation, we'll help you determine which system best meets your specific needs and water quality goals.

Filter replacement schedules vary by system type and water usage:

• Pre-filters (sediment, carbon): Every 6-12 months
• RO Membrane: Every 2-3 years
• Post-filters: Every 12 months

Our tankless systems include smart monitoring that alerts you when filters need replacement based on actual usage rather than time intervals. We provide detailed maintenance schedules with each system and offer convenient filter replacement services.

Yes, we offer professional installation for all our reverse osmosis systems. Our certified technicians ensure your system is properly installed and optimized for your specific water conditions. Installation is typically completed in 1-2 hours for under-sink systems.

The installation process includes:

• Professional mounting of all system components
• Connection to your water supply and drain
• Installation of the dedicated faucet
• System testing and optimization
• Complete walkthrough of operation and maintenance

Reverse osmosis systems are highly effective at removing a wide range of contaminants, including:

• Dissolved salts and minerals
• Heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic)
• Chlorine and chloramines
• Pesticides and herbicides
• Pharmaceutical residues
• Bacteria and viruses
• Fluoride
• Nitrates and sulfates
• Total dissolved solids (TDS)

Our systems include remineralization stages to add beneficial minerals back into the water for improved taste and health benefits.

The main differences between tankless and traditional RO systems include:

• Space Requirements: Tankless systems are much more compact, saving valuable under-sink space.
• Flow Rate: Tankless systems provide water on demand at much higher flow rates (up to 800 gallons per day vs. 50-100 GPD for traditional systems).
• Water Efficiency: Tankless systems waste significantly less water, with some models achieving a 1:1 ratio of filtered water to waste water (compared to 1:3 or 1:4 for traditional systems).
• Technology: Tankless systems use advanced pump technology and smart monitoring to deliver consistent performance.
• Investment: Tankless systems require a different initial investment but offer greater convenience and efficiency over time.

During your free consultation, we'll help you determine which system type best fits your specific needs and budget.

Traditional RO systems do create wastewater during the filtration process. This is necessary to flush away the concentrated contaminants removed from your drinking water. Typically, traditional systems create about 3-4 gallons of wastewater for every gallon of filtered water.

However, our tankless RO systems are significantly more efficient, with some models achieving a 1:1 ratio (one gallon of purified water for every gallon of wastewater). This improved efficiency is one of the major advantages of modern tankless systems.

For most households, the amount of wastewater created is relatively small compared to overall water usage, but if water conservation is important to you, we recommend our more efficient tankless models.

It depends on the type of system:

• Traditional Under-Sink RO Systems: Most traditional systems operate using water pressure alone and do not require electricity.
• Tankless RO Systems: These advanced systems do require electricity to power the pump and smart monitoring features. They typically use a standard electrical outlet and consume minimal electricity (similar to a small LED light bulb).

During your consultation, we'll discuss the electrical requirements and help you determine if your installation location has appropriate access to power.
