Reverse Osmosis
How Does Reverse Osmosis Work?
Curious about how Reverse Osmosis works? Osmosis the process where molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane from a less concentrated area into a more concentrated one. Our Reverse Osmosis system takes advantage of this natural process by applying pressure, ensuring that clean water flows from your faucet while simultaneously directing water with minerals and contaminants down the drain. Our system starts with a sediment filter to eliminate dirt and large particles, protecting the reverse osmosis membrane. The water then passes through a carbon filter, effectively removing chlorine and other contaminants. Finally, the water reaches the reverse osmosis membrane, where the magic happens. For our four-stage RO system, we include a carbon polishing filter in the last step, guaranteeing you the cleanest and crispest-tasting water possible.

4 Benefits of Reverse Osmosis
More homeowners are having reverse osmosis systems installed to improve the quality of their drinking water conveniently and cost-effectively. Let’s explore some of the leading benefits of reverse osmosis (RO) water to understand why so many people are making the switch.
REMOVE UNPLEASANT TASTES AND ODORS
Water, in its purest form, has no odor or flavor. When you “taste” water, you’re tasting what’s dissolved in it. People have various opinions on what makes water taste good. But, if you dislike the taste or smell of your home’s water now, you will most likely prefer reverse osmosis filtered water. Many families find they drink more water after having an RO system installed.
REMOVE ADDITIVES AND IMPURITIES
Many people who get their water from a city water supply want extra filtration and protection. A reverse osmosis system provides added health benefits by ensuring lead, chlorine, fluoride, and other impurities are removed. If you have a water softener and are concerned about trace amounts of extra sodium in your water, an RO system can also remove that.
BETTER FOR COOKING
If untreated, water, minerals, sulfur, or chlorine may negatively affect certain foods’ texture, flavor, and appearance. The process of boiling rice, pasta, and vegetables brings many of the flavors your water may carry into your foods. Dissolved minerals can also impact the way baked goods rise. Cooking with reverse osmosis water can produce better flavors and results because the impurities have been removed. RO water is perfect for pasta, rice, dried beans, and other water-cooked foods. Many people also prefer it for making the best-tasting coffee and tea.
MORE CONVENIENT
Pitcher-style filters are a pain! They’re slow, they take up room in the fridge, and no one ever wants to refill them. And who’s keeping track of when that filter needs changing? The filter on an RO system must only be changed once or twice a year. If you prefer, let us handle the swap so you don’t have to stock filters or track when it’s time to replace a cartridge. A sound RO system flows fast and almost always meets household demand.
