Where is the reverse osmosis system installed?

Most systems are installed under the kitchen sink with a dedicated faucet and a line to the fridge or ice maker. In some homes we can design whole-home RO setups depending on your plumbing and water usage.

How often do RO filters and membranes need to be changed?

Pre-filters and post-filters are typically changed every 6–12 months, while the RO membrane often lasts 2–3 years depending on water quality and usage. We can set you up with a maintenance plan so you never have to guess.

Will a reverse osmosis system reduce water pressure at my faucet?

A properly sized and installed RO system should deliver steady flow at its dedicated faucet. If you have low pressure now, we can evaluate your plumbing and recommend the right solution.

Problem • Tap Water Taste & Quality

Tap water that smells, stains, or tastes “off” doesn’t belong in your glass.

Maybe your ice cubes are cloudy, your coffee tastes bitter, or your kids refuse to drink from the tap. Hard water, chlorine, and other dissolved solids can leave your water tasting and smelling less than refreshing. In some homes, there are also concerns about contaminants you can’t see at all.

You shouldn’t have to buy endless cases of bottled water or worry about what’s coming out of the faucet. That’s where a professionally installed reverse osmosis system comes in.

Why Reverse Osmosis

Cleaner, better-tasting water for every drink, recipe, and ice cube.

Reverse osmosis systems use a multi-stage filtration process—including a semi-permeable membrane—to remove many dissolved solids, chlorine, and other impurities from your water. That means clearer ice, better-tasting coffee and tea, and peace of mind every time you fill a glass.

Reduces dissolved minerals that cause cloudy ice and scale
Filters out chlorine that can affect taste and smell
Helps remove many contaminants for safer drinking and cooking
Protects appliances like coffee makers and ice machines from buildup

How It Works

What a Reverse Osmosis System Looks Like in Your Home.

Here’s the basic flow of a typical under-sink RO system we install in Omaha homes:

1

Pre-Filtration

Incoming water first passes through sediment and carbon filters to remove sand, rust, and chlorine that can damage the RO membrane.

2

RO Membrane

Water is pushed through a semi-permeable membrane that removes many dissolved solids and contaminants.

3

Storage Tank

Filtered water is stored in a small pressurized tank so you have purified water ready on demand.

4

Polishing & Delivery

Before reaching your glass, the water passes through a final polishing filter, then flows out of a dedicated faucet and often to your fridge/ice maker.

Reverse Osmosis FAQ

Questions About Reverse Osmosis? We’ve Got Answers.

Here are a few common questions we get from Omaha homeowners considering a reverse osmosis system. Your technician can answer anything else during your in-home visit.

Is a reverse osmosis system worth it in Omaha?

For many homeowners, yes. RO systems improve taste, reduce many dissolved minerals, and filter out chlorine and other impurities. If you’re tired of buying bottled water or dealing with off-tasting tap water, RO can be a smart long-term upgrade.

Where does the RO system go and will it take up all my cabinet space?

Most systems are installed under the kitchen sink with a small storage tank and compact filters mounted neatly to the cabinet wall. Our techs make sure you still have usable space and route lines cleanly to your faucet and, when possible, your fridge.

Can you hook the RO system to my fridge and ice maker?

In many homes, yes. If the fridge location and plumbing allow, we can run a dedicated line from your RO system to the fridge so your ice and dispenser water are filtered as well.

How much maintenance does a reverse osmosis system need?

You’ll typically change pre- and post-filters every 6–12 months and the membrane every 2–3 years, depending on usage and water quality. We’ll show you how everything works and can provide ongoing service if you prefer we handle it.

How long does installation take?

Most standard under-sink RO installations take just a few hours. More complex layouts or whole-home systems can take longer, but we’ll review timing and expectations before we begin.
