Reverse osmosis drinking water systems for Tampa Bay homes

An under-sink system with its own kitchen faucet. A final, finer step for the water you drink and cook with.

Step 1 of 3 · How RO works

How a reverse osmosis drinking water system works

RO uses your water pressure to push water through a membrane with extremely small pores. Clean water passes through. Dissolved solids and many other substances are held back and rinsed down the drain.

1

Works with your whole-home system

Your whole-home tanks treat every tap. RO adds one more layer of treatment at a single dedicated faucet.

2

Pre-filters and post-filters

Carbon stages before and after the membrane protect it and polish the taste.

3

Some water goes to the drain

That is how the membrane rinses itself clean. Every RO system does this.

Common questions

Reverse osmosis questions, answered.

Yes. Reverse osmosis is one of the most common ways to purify drinking water at home. Both of our RO systems add minerals back after filtration for better taste, and their supplier sheets display NSF/ANSI 58 and NSF 372 claims.
