Reverse Osmosis Systems in Reno, NV

Reverse osmosis works through water pressure that pushes water molecules through a semipermeable membrane. Any contaminants attached to those water molecules can’t follow through the membrane and are effectively “shed” from the water. The result is that pure water molecules continue to the water fixtures in your home and a collection of filtered contaminants is left behind.

Reverse osmosis systems are good for filtering these contaminants and more:

• Salts
• Fluoride
• Lead
• Chlorine
• Nitrates
• Pesticides

Benefits of Reverse Osmosis Systems

You have your choice when it comes to choosing a water treatment system for your home. Why should you pick a reverse osmosis system? Let’s review some of the benefits, so you can make your choice with more confidence.

Three important benefits of reverse osmosis systems are:

• Highly effective: Reverse osmosis systems target contaminants at a molecular level, so very few can actually make it through the filtration membrane. Approximately 99% of contaminants are cleared out using reverse osmosis in this way.
• Long service life: Inside a reverse osmosis system, you might be surprised to find that there aren’t many complex mechanical and electrical components. It mostly runs itself using the semipermeable membrane and water pressure. As such, there are fewer parts to wear down, so the overall service life of the equipment is quite long. With routine maintenance handled by our professional technicians, you might never need to replace the reverse osmosis system for as long as you own your home.
• Self-cleaning: The semipermeable membranes in a reverse osmosis water treatment system are effectively self-cleaning. As the water moves through the membrane and sheds contaminants, it also helps clear contaminants away that might have gathered on the original side of the membrane.

Routine Reverse Osmosis System Maintenance

Once a year, we recommend that you let our team maintain and clean the reverse osmosis system. Although the membranes are self-cleaning, they should still be replaced annually. We can swap them out for new membranes and check other parts for any signs of wear. With routine maintenance, we can sometimes catch and fix small issues before they become larger, more expensive problems.
