Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis System Installation and Service
At 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP, we install and service reverse osmosis systems that give you clean, great-tasting water right from your tap. A reverse osmosis system, often called an RO system, is one of the most effective ways to remove impurities from your drinking water. Whether you want better-tasting water, protection from contaminants, or a reliable alternative to bottled water, our team can help you choose and maintain the right system for your home.
How Reverse Osmosis Works
A reverse osmosis system uses a multi-stage filtration process to purify your water. It pushes water through a semipermeable membrane that separates contaminants from clean water molecules. This process removes even microscopic impurities, leaving you with fresh, purified water at the faucet.
The system typically includes several stages: a sediment filter to catch dirt and rust, a carbon filter to remove chlorine and odors, and the RO membrane that blocks dissolved solids. The final stage polishes the water for improved taste and clarity. The result is cleaner, healthier water for drinking, cooking, and even making ice.
What Reverse Osmosis Removes
Reverse osmosis removes a wide range of contaminants that are often found in municipal and well water. This includes heavy metals such as lead and mercury, nitrates, fluoride, chlorine, and dissolved salts. It also eliminates pesticides, bacteria, and other impurities that can affect taste or safety.
In the Katy area, water often contains high mineral content and chlorine from municipal treatment. Over time, these minerals can cause scaling on fixtures and leave a noticeable taste in your water. An RO system provides an extra layer of protection and helps extend the life of your plumbing and appliances by reducing buildup.
RO Systems Compared to Other Filtration Options
A reverse osmosis system provides a higher level of filtration than most standard carbon filters or whole-house systems. While carbon filters improve taste and odor, they do not remove dissolved solids or heavy metals. Whole-house filtration systems are great for treating all the water entering your home, but they are not designed for the same level of purification as reverse osmosis.
An RO system is ideal for drinking and cooking water, while a whole-house filter can complement it by treating water for bathing, laundry, and appliances. Many of our customers in Katy choose to install both systems for the best combination of protection and convenience.
Maintenance and Service Requirements
Reverse osmosis systems require regular filter and membrane replacements to maintain peak performance. The pre-filters and post-filters typically need to be replaced every six to twelve months, while the RO membrane may last two to three years depending on water quality and usage.
Some homeowners choose to replace the filters themselves, but professional service ensures that all seals, fittings, and pressure levels are correct. At 24/7 Plumbing Co., LP, we offer scheduled maintenance and replacement services to keep your system running efficiently and your water quality at its best.
