A reverse osmosis system employs a specialized membrane to filter water effectively. This system can be set up at the point of water entry into your home, or as a comprehensive whole-house solution, treating every drop of water that flows through your household plumbing. While your home's drinking water may adhere to local standards, it might not align with your personal preferences. Standard tap water can contain dissolved metals like lead and iron, as well as undesirable chemicals.
Whether it's the water at your kitchen sink for drinking or the water you use for daily activities such as shaving, showering, and flushing toilets, a reverse osmosis system ensures that your entire home remains free from any traces of water hardness, salts, chemicals, and total dissolved solids.
If you’re considering purchasing a water filtration system for your Florida home, ask the experts at Cool Today if a whole-home reverse osmosis system could be a good option for you.
A whole-home reverse osmosis system can eliminate over 98% of dissolved organic and inorganic matter.
The water produced by reverse osmosis is almost unparalleled in its purity.
Whole-home reverse osmosis is a cost-effective method for water purification.
While reverse osmosis is commonly used for residential point-of-use drinking water, those with extremely challenging water conditions often choose to install a whole house reverse osmosis system to provide exceptional water quality throughout their home.
What does reverse osmosis remove from drinking water?
Our reverse osmosis systems remove up to 99% of a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals like lead and arsenic, chlorine, PFAS, nitrates, and total dissolved solids. The semipermeable membrane acts like a microscopic net, catching impurities as small as 0.0001 micron for the purest drinking water.
What is the difference between point-of-use and whole-home RO?
A point-of-use RO system is installed under a single sink to treat water just for drinking and cooking, while a whole-home RO system treats all the water entering your entire house. Whole-home RO is far less common because it is expensive, produces water slowly, and essentially flushes bottled-quality water through showers and laundry.
How is RO different from a water softener?
Reverse osmosis filters out a broad range of contaminants to produce purified drinking water, whereas a water softener uses ion exchange to remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium to prevent scale buildup throughout your home. A softener protects your pipes and appliances but does not make water safe to drink, while RO addresses taste and safety at your kitchen tap.
How often do RO membranes and filters need replacing?
The sediment and carbon pre-filters typically need replacement every 6 to 12 months, while the RO membrane itself lasts 2 to 5 years depending on your water quality and usage. We recommend using a TDS meter to monitor performance and can help you set up a simple annual maintenance schedule.
