Question 1

What does a reverse osmosis system remove?

Accepted Answer

Reverse osmosis is designed to reduce dissolved solids and many common contaminants in drinking water. What an RO system reduces depends on the membrane, filters, water quality, and system design. We test your water first so we can recommend the right treatment for your home.

Question 2

Is reverse osmosis water only for drinking?

Accepted Answer

Most residential RO systems provide treated water through a dedicated kitchen faucet. RO water is ideal for drinking, cooking, coffee, tea, ice, and food preparation.

Question 3

Will reverse osmosis remove hardness?

Accepted Answer

Reverse osmosis can reduce dissolved minerals, including minerals associated with hardness, but it is not intended to replace a whole-home water softener. Very hard water can also shorten RO membrane life, so a softener may be recommended ahead of the RO system.

Question 4

Does reverse osmosis remove nitrate?

Accepted Answer

Reverse osmosis can reduce nitrate in drinking water when the system is properly selected, maintained, and operating correctly. If nitrate is a concern, we recommend testing the water first so the treatment can be matched to the actual nitrate level and your household needs.

Question 5

How often do RO filters need to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Filter and membrane replacement intervals depend on your water quality, water usage, and the specific RO system. Routine maintenance is important for water quality and system performance. Taurus Water Treatment can provide ongoing RO filter and membrane service.

Question 6

Do reverse osmosis systems waste water?

Accepted Answer

Reverse osmosis systems use some water to flush concentrated dissolved solids away from the membrane. The amount varies by system design, incoming water pressure, water quality, and operating conditions. Modern residential systems are designed to provide efficient drinking-water treatment when properly installed and maintained.
