Reverse osmosis

The purest drinking water, right from your kitchen tap.

Our six-stage system pushes water through a reverse osmosis membrane, then finishes it with an alkaline stage, for purified drinking water with a clean, fresh taste.

What it treats

Reduces what ordinary filters can't.

  • Lead & heavy metals

    The membrane reduces toxic heavy metals you can't see or taste.

  • Dissolved solids

    Salts and minerals that cause off tastes and spots on glassware.

  • Cysts

    Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts are reduced by the RO membrane.

  • Chlorine, taste & odor

    Carbon stages remove chlorine before it reaches the membrane.

  • Organic impurities

    Granular and block carbon reduce organic impurities before the membrane.

  • Alkaline finish

    A final alkaline stage raises the pH from about 7.5 up to 9.5.

How it works

Six stages of filtration.

  1. 01

    Sediment prefilter

    Reduces rust and particles, and protects the membrane.

  2. 02

    Granular activated carbon

    Pre-treats the water and removes chlorine before the membrane.

  3. 03

    Carbon block

    Reduces flavors, odors, chlorine and organic impurities.

  4. 04

    RO membrane

    Reduces dissolved solids, toxic heavy metals, and Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts.

  5. 05

    Carbon post-filter

    A final polish for taste and odor.

  6. 06

    Alkaline filter

    Raises the pH from about 7.5 to 9.5 before water reaches your faucet.

Before you buy

Is RO right for your family?

Signs you need one

  • You buy bottled water or refill jugs
  • Your home has older plumbing that may contain lead
  • A water report shows PFAS, nitrates or arsenic
  • You want better water for coffee, ice and baby formula

Good to know

  • Treats drinking and cooking water at one sink. Pair it with a whole house system for every tap.
  • Can also supply your refrigerator's water dispenser and ice maker.
  • Prefer a freestanding option? The SupplyLife hydration station combines five purification stages, ultrafiltration, an alkaline membrane and UV self-cleaning.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does RO remove healthy minerals?

The membrane reduces most minerals, then the alkaline stage adds minerals back and raises the pH to about 7.5–9.5.

How much water does it waste?

Some water is used to flush contaminants away from the membrane. Modern systems are much more efficient than older ones, and we size yours to keep waste low.

Where does it go?

Under your kitchen sink, with a small dedicated faucet on the countertop or sink. The storage tank sits in the cabinet beside it.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the system and options like a fridge line. Your free water test comes with a written quote, and financing is available from 60 to 240 months.

Can it connect to my refrigerator?

Yes. We can run a line to your refrigerator's water dispenser and ice maker.
