What Is Reverse Osmosis (RO)?

Reverse osmosis uses multi-stage membrane filtration to remove impurities such as chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, fluoride, and dissolved solids. It delivers the highest level of water purity available for residential use.

RO systems are ideal for homeowners who want:

Cleaner, Better-Tasting Water Removes up to 99% of contaminants.

Healthier Drinking Water Filters out microplastics, lead, and other harmful substances.

Crystal-Clear Ice and Cooking Water No odor, residue, or aftertaste.

Appliance Protection Reduces mineral buildup in coffee makers, fridges, and dishwashers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions our Orange County neighbors ask about reverse osmosis systems services

How long does the RO installation process take?

Most Reverse Osmosis systems can be fully installed under your kitchen sink and connected to your water line within 2 to 4 hours. We ensure a clean, seamless connection and minimal downtime.

How often do I need to change the filters?

Filter changes vary by system and water quality, but typically:

Pre-filters and Carbon filters: Every 6–12 months.

The Main RO Membrane: Every 2–4 years.
We provide a clear maintenance schedule and can offer simple service plans.

Does RO water waste a lot of water?

Modern, high-efficiency RO systems are far better than older models. While the process produces some wastewater (used to flush contaminants away), the best systems minimize this amount, making them highly efficient and well worth the quality upgrade.

What contaminants does a reverse osmosis system remove?

RO systems commonly reduce chlorine, lead, nitrates, fluoride, arsenic, and other dissolved contaminants, improving water taste and quality.

Can KCB install a dedicated RO water line to my refrigerator?

Yes, we can run a dedicated, filtered RO water line directly to your refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser for crystal-clear ice and perfect water quality throughout your kitchen.
