How Much Does a Reverse Osmosis System?

When it comes to water treatments, Reverse osmosis (RO) is widely regarded as one of the most effective water filtering processes, producing clean, great-tasting water. RO systems are utilized for a variety of purposes, including whole-house filtration, faucet filtration, aquarium filtration, and restaurant filtration. Whatever type of water you start with, there is almost certainly a RO system that will meet your demands.

What Is a Reverse Osmosis System?

If you’ve never heard of a Reverse Osmosis system, you probably have many questions about how it differs from a regular filter pitcher or a water bottle with a built-in water filter. That’s a good question, and once you understand how reverse osmosis works, you’ll see why purchasing a reverse osmosis filtering system makes sense. The filtering process differs significantly between a RO system and ordinary filtration.

Water travels through a carbon filter in most drip-through pitchers and water bottle filters, catching most pollutants, and passing clean water through. It’s reasonably effective, but it can’t filter water to the same degree as a RO filter system; thus, it can’t remove certain types of contaminants.

Why is that? This is due to the membrane used in the RO filter process, which is designed to catch ions and larger molecules, so only small molecules pass through. In addition, to reverse osmosis, an RO system includes other types of filtrations (3, 4, or 5 stages). Our reverse osmosis water systems include 4-stage, 5-stage, and 6-stage processes. As you proceed up the filter stages, your water will be passed through more filters.

How Does a Reverse Osmosis System Work?

How does reverse osmosis work? What is reverse osmosis? Although the answer may seem a little complicated, our team of water treatment specialists can help.

In reverse osmosis, contaminants are removed from the water, making it safer to drink, bathe, wash your garden, and wash your clothes. A high-pressure pump pushes a high-pressure membrane through the water to remove 95 to 99 percent of dissolved salts. The salts and contaminants are drained away by reverse osmosis instead of being trapped like some filters.

Using a prefilter, reverse osmosis systems remove sediment and chlorine from water. Afterward, it pushes water through a membrane that only allows some material to pass through, thereby removing dissolved solids. After the postfilter, the water goes through one last cleaning before it reaches the faucet. There are three stages of reverse osmosis water systems we offer: 4-stage, 5-stage, and 6-stage. Generally, the higher the stage, the more filters your water will go through before it reaches your lips.

What Does a Reverse Osmosis System Remove?

The RO membrane removes dissolved solids such as arsenic and fluoride. RO systems also include sediment and carbon filtration for a broad spectrum of filtration. In an RO system, the carbon filters remove chlorine and bad tastes and odors, and the sediment filter removes dirt and debris.

Does a reverse osmosis system remove…

Fluoride? Yes.
Lead? Yes.
Nitrates? Yes.
Particulates? Yes.
Salt? Yes.
Sediment? Yes.
Chlorine? Yes.
Arsenic? Yes.
Herbicides and pesticides? Yes.

What are the Benefits of a Whole House Reverse Osmosis System?

Reverse osmosis is a water filtration system that filters all the water in your home through a reverse osmosis membrane. At the point where water enters your home, a whole-house reverse osmosis system is installed. Whole house reverse osmosis systems ensure that your entire home is nearly completely free from any traces of water hardness, salts, chemicals, and TDS. The microscopic pores on the semipermeable membrane of the RO system can eliminate over 98 percent of dissolved organic and inorganic matter. Here are some other benefits to having a whole house RO system:

An Improved Taste and On-Demand Supply

With an RO system, you can offer your guests great-tasting, high-quality water straight from the faucet. In contrast, unfiltered tap water may contain contaminants, such as chlorine, which can negatively affect the taste or smell of your water. An RO system can eradicate these problems so you, your family, and guests can experience the best possible water for: drinking, cooking, mixing beverages, and filling reusable bottles.

Eliminates the Need for Single-Use Water

Have you ever found yourself thirsty after a long workout, only to realize that your water pitcher is empty? If so, you may typically reach for a single-use water bottle instead of sitting around and twiddling your thumbs for an extra minute to refill your pitcher and wait for it to filter. With an RO system, you don’t have to make that choice. You can immediately get purified, high-quality water right from the faucet without the wait and hassle of a filtered pitcher or plastic water bottle.

Are Eco-Friendly

According to Plastic Oceans, more than 10 million tons of plastic trash ends up in our world’s oceans every year, and a substantial amount (50 percent) of that is made up of single-use water bottles. While plastic is recyclable, less than 9 percent of all plastic actually gets recycled. A reverse osmosis system is not only more convenient but it’s also a more sustainable solution for your water needs. This system will not only decrease your reliance on single-use plastic, but it will also reduce your contribution to plastic pollution and lower your overall carbon footprint.

It Saves You Money

When you have a reverse osmosis system installed in your home, you can access cleaner, thirst-quenching water any time you want. This means fewer trips to the grocery store and less money spent on single-use plastic water bottles and filters for your refillable pitchers. Investing in an RO system, you’re not only saving yourself money, but you’re also saving time. A reverse osmosis system will allow you to easily turn on your tap to prepare for cooking your favorite chicken pasta or get a nice cold glass of water.

FAQs

Choose the best reverse osmosis system while having the most information on the RO systems. If you are still skeptical, here are some of our shoppers’ frequently asked questions.

Q: How long can an RO system last?

With regular service and old worn-out part replacement (storage tank and faucet), a reverse osmosis system can practically last forever. But the RO membrane can last at least 2 to 5 years before replacement, depending on the nature of your water.

Q: What isn’t removed by a RO system?

Reverse osmosis can remove many pollutants, but even the best reverse osmosis system can’t remove everything. Unfortunately, an RO system can’t get rid of most organic compounds, bacterial microorganisms, or dissolved gases (carbon dioxide, methane, and radon).

Q: How much does a whole home reverse osmosis system cost?

A whole home reverse osmosis system can cost anywhere from $12,000 to $20,000, while a commercial-grade RO system can cost between $3,000 to $5,000.
