Drinking Water Systems

Reverse osmosis drinking water systems

A whole-home system is not designed to make drinking water. Reverse osmosis is — it pushes water through a membrane fine enough to strip out dissolved solids, heavy metals like lead, and the remaining chlorine. This is the water you drink, cook with and fill the coffee machine from.

Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water

The glass of water you actually want to drink.

A softener handles hardness and carbon handles taste. Reverse osmosis handles what neither is built for: the dissolved solids that come with a hundred years of iron main and older service lines between the plant and your kitchen. Reverse osmosis sits under the kitchen sink and treats the water you actually drink and cook with.

Best for: Anyone on city water, and anyone who buys bottled water for drinking

Details and specs

Worth knowing

Why this matters

It filters to 0.0001 microns

Fine enough to catch lead and other heavy metals, dissolved solids and contaminants that a carbon filter alone will pass straight through.

Your coffee and ice change noticeably

The taste difference in coffee, tea and ice is the thing customers mention most. Cooking too — pasta water and stock genuinely taste different.

It replaces bottled water

A household getting through cases of bottled water a month usually finds an RO system pays for itself faster than they expected, and stops the plastic.
