The tap you swallow, on anthracite-city plumbing

Reverse Osmosis in Scranton

Scranton city water is already soft. Reverse osmosis at the kitchen is not a hardness play — it is drinking-water insurance for Hill Section, Green Ridge, and West Scranton homes plumbed before 1986, plus certified PFAS reduction when you want a barrier the CCR cannot put inside your walls.

Pair RO with whole-home carbon for chlorine. Do not pair it with a softener on 1.6 gpg city water. Abington wells are a different TDS and hardness story. We will not mix those designs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need RO if Scranton water is already soft?

Softness is not the reason. Lead in old plumbing and PFAS peace of mind are. Many newer homes on city water skip RO; many Hill Section homes should test, then decide.

What does reverse osmosis cost in Scranton?

We do not quote before measuring. The free in-home test produces your numbers and a written recommendation sized to them — no obligation either way.

Will RO fix chlorine in the shower?

No. Whole-home carbon does that. RO is the kitchen tap.

Is the supply lead-free?

It leaves the plant essentially lead-free. The last stretch through pre-1986 solder or a lead service line is the open question — a tap sample, not a plant report.

Abington well vs. Scranton city?

Wells can be hard and high-TDS. City RO designs should not be copied onto those wells without a panel.
