(2) If you have had one of our systems installed for 10 years or more and have had it serviced by us, we will credit you $150 towards the purchase of a new RO!

Under-the-Counter Reverse Osmosis Systems

Bottled quality water generated right at your tap for a fraction of the cost of bottled water

  • Does not contain plastics with Bisphenol A
  • No more heavy bottles to lift or have knocked over.
  • Pure, clean water available at your sink, ideal for washing fruits and vegetables and all your cooking needs!
  • Multiple taps can be installed. For example, you can have one RO unit installed in a storage closet, with tubing leading to the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink, and the ice-maker in the fridge.
  • The units use no electricity (unless a booster pump is required) and no chemicals to deliver pure drinking water to your home.
  • Installing a RO system in your home can save you hundreds of dollars in as little as two years (when compared to bottled water).
  • Maintenance is cheap, quick & simple! Filters will need changing once a year and the membrane every two years. When you compare changing the filters once a year to changing the bottled water jug once a week, the choice is easy.
  • An optional calcite post-filter will add back in the "good" minerals that RO will remove from the water during the purification process. Ask about this option. The calcite post filter replaces the standard carbon post filter and you won't notice a difference, but can be rest assured that your water will still have the minerals you desire.
RO unit will fit under the sink
Under-the-Counter Reverse Osmosis Units are ideal for residential, small commercial and RV.

How the RO units work:
Reverse Osmosis Unit # 525

Approved Standard 58 &
WQA Gold Sealed Certified S-300

UReverse Osmosis Unit # 625 U/DX

Step 1
Water is first passed through a 5 micron sediment filter to remove suspended matter, dirt, algae and silt.
Step 2
The water then passes through 1 or 2 (depending on the model) pre-carbon filters. The carbon filters remove chlorine and other volatile organics from the water. The removal of chlorine improves the taste and odour of the water and maintains the integrity of the membrane.
Step 3
From the carbon filters, the water is passed through the reverse osmosis membrane. The membrane removes inorganics, minerals, lead, cysts (eg. Giardia and Cryptosporidium), dissolved metals, chemicals, and more. There are two types of membranes available: CTA and TFC. A CTA membrane can be used for chlorinated water supplies while a TFC membrane has higher contaminant rejection rates and is faster than a CTA membrane. TFC membrane technology was developed by NASA.
Step 4
The pure water is now transferred to a 4-gallon (15 L) holding tank. The tank is an essential component to the system, as the process of reverse osmosis is not instantaneous. The tank generally sits under the counter next to the RO unit, but can easily be installed in a closet or crawl space.
Step 5
When clean water is needed, the faucet is opened and the water travels from the holding tank through a post-carbon filter and to the tap. The post-carbon filter ensures the water maintains it crisp, clean taste.
Step 6
The addition of an ultraviolet light protects against bacteria (such as E-coli), viruses and other microorganisms. A UV light is highly recommended if your water is not protected by normal municipal means.
