A multi-stage system, installed under the sink or at the point of entry, that forces water through a semi-permeable membrane fine enough to catch what carbon filters miss.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is the most thorough filtration available for a home tap. Instead of just trapping large particles like a standard carbon filter, an RO system pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane with pores small enough to block dissolved solids — things like lead, arsenic, nitrates, fluoride, and PFAS where present, along with the chlorine taste and odor a carbon filter handles on its own.
We install most residential RO systems under the kitchen sink with a dedicated drinking-water faucet, so treated water stays separate from the water running to the rest of the house. Point-of-entry RO is also available for households that want membrane-level filtration on more than just the kitchen tap.
Sediment and carbon pre-filters strip out larger particles and chlorine before water ever reaches the membrane, protecting it from fouling.
Water is forced under pressure through the semi-permeable membrane, which blocks dissolved solids and contaminants while rejected water flushes to drain.
Treated water sits in a small storage tank, then passes through one last carbon filter at the dedicated faucet for the cleanest possible taste.
Cuts dissolved solids, lead, arsenic, nitrates, and fluoride down to a fraction of incoming levels.
Removing chlorine and total dissolved solids gives you cleaner-tasting water straight from the tap.
Treated water stays separate from your softened or whole-house line, so you always know which tap to use.
One system replaces years of bottled water purchases and cuts down on plastic waste.
An annual filter change is typically all it takes to keep the system performing at spec.
We start every project with a quick water assessment, so whatever we recommend actually matches what's in your water.
