Question 1

Do I need reverse osmosis if I already have a water softener in Palm River-Clair Mel?

Accepted Answer

A water softener handles hardness, but doesn't remove dissolved contaminants like PFAS, fluoride, nitrates, lead, or pharmaceuticals. For Palm River-Clair Mel residents who want the purest possible drinking water, an RO system under the kitchen sink is the perfect complement to a whole-house softener.

Question 2

How much water does a reverse osmosis system waste in Palm River-Clair Mel?

Accepted Answer

Our modern RO systems have a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio (2–3 gallons of 'waste' per gallon of purified water). This is much better than older models. The concentrate water can be used for plants or cleaning. Given Palm River-Clair Mel's water quality, the trade-off for near-pure drinking water is well worth it.

Question 3

What does reverse osmosis remove from Palm River-Clair Mel water?

Accepted Answer

RO removes up to 99% of dissolved contaminants from Palm River-Clair Mel water, including: TDS (typically reducing from 300–500 ppm to under 30 ppm), PFAS, lead, arsenic, fluoride, nitrates, pharmaceuticals, chloramines, and virtually all other dissolved substances.

Question 4

How often do I need to change RO filters in Palm River-Clair Mel?

Accepted Answer

Pre-filters and post-filters: every 6–12 months. The RO membrane itself lasts 2–3 years with Palm River-Clair Mel water (longer if you have a whole-house pre-treatment system). We send reminders and most homeowners can change filters themselves in under 5 minutes.
