You're ready for clean water, but let’s talk about where a reverse osmosis system (ROS) should be installed to get the biggest benefit for you and your family for fresh clean water.

Under the sink:

  • This is the most common place for a Reverse Osmosis System (ROS)
  • Either the kitchen sink or bathroom sink
  • Connecting an under the kitchen sink ROS to your refrigerator will allow ice cubes to be clear

Whole House Reverse Osmosis for Homes with a Well

  • If you get your drinking water from a private well, then a ROS is an excellent way to ensure that the water flowing to your tap is safe
  • A reverse osmosis system is a perfect way to remove difficult contaminants often found in well water, like nitrates

For the Main Water Supply for Homes With City Water

  • City Water is treated before it reaches your home - but some cities do better than others, and many contaminants are completely unregulated, despite being linked to a variety of health concerns. All towns are required to post their water quality reports online. Peruse your town or city's water reports to decide if a whole house reverse osmosis system would be best for your family.

For a Saltwater Aquarium:

  • Reverse osmosis allows you to strip all minerals from the water and add the amount of salt you need back in with a remineralizing filter
  • Most aquarists rely on a combination of reverse osmosis and deionization (known as RO/DI water) to ensure their fish are immersed in highly pure water to match the fish’s natural environment

For your greenhouse:

  • Where plants are misted or in small gardens, depending on the types of plants
  • When doing hydroponic farming which eliminates soil, and instead nurtures fruits and flowers with only nutrient-rich water, high-quality water is of utmost importance to hydroponic success.

In RVs:

RO systems require draining which makes it a bit tricky as drain hookups aren’t located at campsites. A ROS can though be very helpful when your RV adventuring takes you out into the wilderness. Think of times you have gone camping or RVing and had to get water from a stream or river. The ROS can remove harmful bacteria among other things.
