Reverse Osmosis—or RO—uses multiple stages of filtration and a specialized membrane to significantly reduce many dissolved impurities and contaminants that conventional filtration may leave behind.
Pristine Water offers several RO configurations, allowing us to match the drinking-water system to your family’s needs and available space.
Our traditional under-sink RO systems provide purified drinking and cooking water through a dedicated faucet.
Our traditional RO systems also include a pH booster, helping bring the pH of your RO drinking water back to a healthy level.
We offer various storage-tank sizes, including larger-capacity options for families needing a greater reserve of purified water, provided sufficient installation space is available.
Need to save space?
Tankless RO systems are available, providing purified water without the traditional storage tank. They’re an excellent choice when cabinet space is limited or when you prefer a clean, modern installation.
1. What does a reverse osmosis system remove from drinking water?
Reverse osmosis uses multiple filtration stages and a specialized membrane to significantly reduce many dissolved contaminants and impurities. Depending on the system and water conditions, RO can reduce substances such as lead, mercury, arsenic, fluoride, nitrates, sodium, VOCs, and other dissolved contaminants. The effectiveness of a system depends on the specific contaminant and the equipment being used.
2. Is reverse osmosis water safe to drink?
A properly designed and maintained reverse osmosis system can provide highly purified drinking water by significantly reducing many dissolved contaminants. Pristine Water can test your water and recommend an RO system based on your home’s water conditions and drinking-water needs.
3. How does a reverse osmosis water system work?
A reverse osmosis system typically uses several stages of filtration. Sediment and carbon filters remove particles, chlorine, odors, tastes, and other contaminants before water reaches the RO membrane. The membrane then reduces many dissolved impurities, while a final post-filter and pH booster help improve the finished drinking water before it is dispensed.
4. What is the difference between traditional and tankless reverse osmosis?
Traditional reverse osmosis systems use a storage tank to keep purified water readily available and are typically installed underneath the kitchen sink with a dedicated faucet. Tankless RO systems eliminate the traditional storage tank, making them a good option when cabinet space is limited or you prefer a more compact, modern installation.
5. How often does a reverse osmosis system need maintenance?
RO systems require periodic filter and membrane replacement to maintain proper performance and water quality. How often components need to be changed depends on water usage, incoming water quality, and the specific system. Pristine Water can provide reverse osmosis maintenance, filter replacement, membrane service, and system repairs.
