The purest glass in the house

Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water

Reverse osmosis removes up to 99% of dissolved contaminants — lead, PFAS, nitrates, arsenic — that carbon filters can’t touch. A compact under-sink system gives you bottled-water quality for drinking, cooking, coffee, and ice, straight from a dedicated tap.

Between century-old service lines in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre and groundwater PFAS detections across Pennsylvania, more NEPA families want certainty about what ends up in their glass. RO is the gold standard: a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved solids other filters pass. Our systems fit neatly under the kitchen sink, include remineralization for taste, and run at modern 1:1 efficiency — not the wasteful ratios of older units.

Problems this system solves

Lead from old plumbing

Pre-1950 housing stock across NEPA can carry lead service lines or solder. RO removes over 95% of lead.

PFAS / forever chemicals

RO membranes are among the most effective residential defenses against PFAS compounds.

Nitrates

From fertilizer and septic influence in rural wells. Carbon filters pass nitrate right through — removal takes RO, anion exchange, or distillation, and boiling actually concentrates it.

Arsenic

Detected in some Pennsylvania groundwater; RO reduces it effectively at the tap.

Flat or metallic taste

Dissolved solids dull the taste of water, coffee, and everything you cook with it.

Bottled water fatigue

The cost, the plastic, the hauling — an RO tap replaces the case habit entirely.

The payoff

Why NEPA homeowners choose this system

Up to 99% contaminant reduction

Dissolved solids, heavy metals, and emerging contaminants removed at the membrane.

Water you actually crave

Crisp, clean taste for drinking, cooking, and crystal-clear ice — with minerals added back for flavor.

Cheaper than bottled

Pennies per gallon versus dollars — an RO system typically pays for itself, then keeps saving.

Tidy under-sink install

A dedicated faucet at the sink; filters change once a year, membrane every 3–5.

Frequently asked questions

How is RO different from a pitcher or fridge filter?

Pitcher and fridge filters are carbon — good for chlorine and taste, but they pass dissolved metals, nitrates, and most PFAS. An RO membrane physically rejects dissolved contaminants at the molecular level. It is a different class of protection.

Does RO strip the healthy minerals?

The membrane removes minerals along with contaminants, which is why our systems include a remineralization stage — healthy minerals and a crisp taste go back in after purification.

How much water does RO waste?

Older systems sent 3–4 gallons to drain per gallon produced. The efficient systems we install run at roughly 1:1, a fraction of what a single load of laundry uses.

Should I pair RO with a water softener?

They are a great team. Soft water dramatically extends RO membrane life by preventing hardness scaling — and the RO removes the sodium the softener adds.

What does an RO system cost installed?

It depends on the stages your water needs and the install location. We quote only after the free test — in writing, for the system that matches your readings. Filter changes are an ongoing cost; we spell those out in the quote so there are no surprises.

Does RO remove PFAS and lead?

Yes — when the unit is certified for those reductions under NSF/ANSI 58 (or paired carbon stages under 53 for PFAS). Ordinary pitchers without that certification are not a substitute. See our PFAS and lead guides for the plain-English details.
