The Gold Standard in Drinking Water Purification

Reverse osmosis (RO) systems push water through a semi-permeable membrane that removes dissolved solids, contaminants, and impurities at a level standard filtration can’t match. It’s typically installed under the kitchen sink and dedicated to drinking and cooking water.

Our network plumbers install RO systems with proper connections to your cold water supply line, a dedicated faucet at the sink, and a drain line connection for the system’s wastewater byproduct.

What Reverse Osmosis Removes

  • Dissolved salts and heavy metals
  • Chlorine and chloramines
  • Certain bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms (system dependent)
  • Nitrates and other dissolved contaminants
  • Sediment and particulates

This level of purification is why RO is often the top choice for households specifically concerned about drinking water quality.


How the Installation Process Works

Your plumber mounts the RO unit under the sink, then connects it to the cold water supply line, taps a dedicated small faucet at the sink for purified drinking water, and connects a separate drain line to carry away the system’s wastewater byproduct. Because RO filters water in stages — typically a sediment pre-filter, carbon filter, the membrane itself, and a final polishing filter — each stage is checked and properly seated during installation.

Once connected, your plumber will run the system through its initial flush cycle, check all connections for leaks, and confirm the dedicated faucet is producing clean, properly pressurized water before finishing the job. They’ll also explain the filter replacement schedule for your specific system, since RO filters need periodic swapping to maintain water quality.


Frequently Asked Questions

How long does RO installation take?
Most under-sink installations take 1-2 hours.
Does reverse osmosis waste a lot of water?
Traditional RO systems do produce some wastewater, though newer, more efficient models have significantly reduced this ratio.
How much does reverse osmosis installation cost?
Cost depends on the system chosen. You’ll receive a full quote before installation.
How often do RO filters need to be replaced?
Pre-filters typically need replacing every 6-12 months, while the membrane itself can often last 2-3 years depending on water quality and usage.
