Reverse Osmosis Systems in Santa Clarita, CA

Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration for Santa Clarita Homes

Reverse osmosis uses a semipermeable membrane as part of a multi-stage treatment process.

Water is pushed through the membrane, which separates many dissolved substances from the treated water. Pre-filtration and post-filtration stages can also be incorporated into the system.

RO is commonly used when a homeowner wants a higher level of treatment for water used for drinking, cooking, coffee, ice and other kitchen uses.

The type of system and filtration stages should be selected according to the incoming water rather than simply choosing equipment based on capacity or price.

Under-Sink Reverse Osmosis Systems

An under-sink reverse osmosis system treats water at the point where it will be used.

These systems are generally installed beneath the kitchen sink and supply treated water through a dedicated faucet. RO water can also be connected to compatible refrigerator and ice maker lines when the installation allows it.

Point-of-use systems are a practical option when the main concern is drinking and cooking water rather than treating every gallon entering the home.

Pure Water Filtration can evaluate the available space, plumbing and household demand before recommending equipment.

Whole House Reverse Osmosis Systems

Some water quality problems require treatment beyond a kitchen RO system.

Whole house reverse osmosis treats water before it is distributed throughout the property. These systems require more extensive design than a standard under-sink unit.

Water chemistry, household demand, storage, flow requirements, pre-treatment and installation space all have to be considered.

Pure Water Filtration designs and installs whole house RO systems for residential and commercial properties where this level of treatment is appropriate.

What Does Reverse Osmosis Remove From Water?

Reverse osmosis can reduce a broad range of dissolved substances. Actual performance depends on the system, membrane, pre-treatment, water conditions and contaminant being addressed.

RO may be used as part of a treatment strategy for substances such as:

• Dissolved salts
• Certain metals
• Nitrates
• Fluoride
• Arsenic
• Other dissolved contaminants

Testing is especially important when you are trying to address a specific contaminant. The treatment system should be selected for the actual water conditions rather than assuming every RO unit provides identical performance.

Reverse Osmosis vs. Whole House Water Filtration

Reverse osmosis and whole house filtration are not necessarily competing options.

A whole house filtration system treats water as it enters the home and can be configured around concerns such as chlorine, sediment, taste and odor.

A point-of-use RO system provides additional treatment at a specific fixture, usually the kitchen.

Many homes use both.

Whole house filtration handles water throughout the property while reverse osmosis provides more extensively treated water for drinking and cooking.

Do I Need a Water Softener With Reverse Osmosis?

Hard water and drinking water filtration are separate concerns.

A water softener addresses hardness minerals throughout the home. A reverse osmosis system uses a membrane to treat water for a different purpose.

Depending on your water, the two systems can be used together.

This is another reason we recommend testing the water before choosing equipment.

Custom RO Systems for More Difficult Water Conditions

Not every reverse osmosis installation can be handled with an off-the-shelf system.

Properties with difficult water conditions may require pre-treatment or additional filtration before water reaches the RO membrane.

Pure Water Filtration designs custom water treatment systems when standard equipment is not enough for the application.

Our capabilities include reverse osmosis, water softening, whole house filtration, scale prevention, well water treatment, arsenic removal and commercial water treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reverse Osmosis Systems

How much does a reverse osmosis system cost?

Cost depends on the type of system, treatment requirements and installation. An under-sink system is considerably different from a whole house RO installation. We provide free estimates after determining which equipment is appropriate.

Is reverse osmosis good for drinking water?

Reverse osmosis is widely used to provide treated water specifically for drinking and cooking.

Does reverse osmosis soften hard water?

RO can reduce dissolved minerals in the water it treats, but a point-of-use RO system is not a replacement for a whole house water softener when hardness throughout the property is the concern.

Can reverse osmosis remove arsenic?

Reverse osmosis can be used in certain arsenic treatment applications, but treatment should be based on testing and the form and concentration present in the water.

Do I need whole house reverse osmosis?

Most residential properties do not automatically need whole house RO. It is generally used when water conditions or the desired treatment level justify a more extensive system. Testing can help determine if it makes sense for your property.

Can you install an RO system with my existing water softener?

Yes. Reverse osmosis and water softening equipment can be used as part of the same overall water treatment setup.
