Get Your QuoteHow Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration Works
The reverse osmosis filtration process ensures purified, great-tasting water in every glass:
- Water first flows through a pre-filter to remove sediment, chlorine taste and odors, and particulate matter.
- Under pressure, water is pushed through a semipermeable membrane. A high percentage of dissolved solids and other pollutants is removed and flushed away.
- A final activated carbon block filter polishes the water, removing any remaining tastes and odors before it reaches your tap.
The automatic shut-off feature stops the system when the storage tank is full and water isn’t being used. This demand-based production not only conserves water but also extends the life of the membrane, lowering the need for frequent maintenance.

How does water become contaminated?
Many issues, like aging infrastructure, environmental pollution, farming, and naturally occurring substances, can all affect the quality of your drinking water.
Aging Municipal Water Distribution Systems
Clean water doesn’t always stay clean once it leaves the treatment plant. Even if your water supply meets safety standards at its source, contaminants can be introduced along the way. Pipes that deliver water to homes can deteriorate over time, allowing contaminants to leach into the supply. Some pipes may release lead and other harmful metals, while cracks in older systems can let in bacteria or debris.
Pollution
Industrial dumping, agricultural runoff, and improper waste disposal can all contribute to water contamination. Chemicals, nitrates, pesticides, and other pollutants often make their way into groundwater and local water systems.
Natural Substances Entering Wells
Groundwater can contain many unwanted elements. Sediment, minerals, and other naturally occurring substances often enter private wells. This can result in hard water, unpleasant tastes, low clarity, and poor overall quality. Common contaminants found in Michigan wells range from hard minerals to arsenic and cysts (such as those from the Giardia parasite).
These combined factors mean many households end up with drinking water that doesn’t look, smell, or taste as it should. Many families turn to bottled water as a quick fix. Unfortunately, this not only adds up in expenses but also contributes to plastic waste and pollution.
Benefits of Reverse Osmosis Systems
Environmentally Friendly
Relying on bottled water adds up in cost and impacts the environment:
- 35 billion single-use plastic water bottles are sent to landfills or incinerated every year in America.
- Plastic bottles take between 450-1,000 years to degrade in landfills or nature.
- Bottling and shipping water consume vast amounts of energy.
- Producing one billion plastic bottles requires 24 million gallons of oil.
- Nearly 90% of the cost of bottled water comes from the packaging, not the water itself.
- What’s the second most popular beverage in the U.S.? You got it.
By switching to a reverse osmosis water purifier, you get a sustainable, cost-effective way to enjoy clean water while helping reduce plastic waste.
Additional Advantages
- Cost Savings: A one-time investment in an RO system gives you unlimited purified water at a fraction of the long-term cost of buying bottled water.
- Improved Taste and Odor: Reverse osmosis removes a variety of contaminants that make water taste and smell unpleasant.
- Peace of Mind: These systems filter out harmful contaminants like nitrates, lead, arsenic, and pesticides. RO can also remove bacteria and viruses without chemicals, and can be coupled with UV water treatment to further eliminate microbiological contaminants.
- Convenience: No more hauling, storing, or recycling heavy cases of bottled water.
In short, a reverse osmosis water filtration system is a smart investment that saves money, improves your drinking water, and helps protect the environment.
