Reverse Osmosis Systems

Reverse Osmosis Systems in Northern California

Water can look clear and still carry dissolved minerals, salts and other things you'd rather not drink. A reverse osmosis system under your kitchen sink gives you clean drinking water from its own faucet.

Filling a glass with clean water at the kitchen tap

What is reverse osmosis?

Reverse osmosis uses your water pressure to push water through a very fine membrane. Clean water passes through, and what's left behind is rinsed down the drain. Before the membrane, sediment and carbon filters handle grit and chlorine. After it, our alkaline systems add minerals back for a smooth taste. Your free water test shows what's in your water before you choose.

Certified means the Water Quality Association tested the system to the NSF/ANSI standard shown. A certification lists what a system was tested for. It doesn't mean those things are in your water, and filters must be changed on schedule for the system to work as certified. Your free water test shows what is.

Questions about reverse osmosis

How often do the filters need changing?

Most pre-filters are changed every 12 months and the membrane less often, depending on your water and how much you use. We'll set up reminders so you never have to keep track.

Does reverse osmosis waste water?

RO systems send some water down the drain while they filter. Modern systems are much more efficient than older ones, and we'll walk you through what to expect.

Why add minerals back?

Reverse osmosis water is very pure and low in minerals. Our alkaline systems add some back for a smoother, better taste.
