Reverse Osmosis Drinking-Water Systems for Twin Cities Homes

Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are usually installed under the kitchen sink and supply a separate faucet for drinking and cooking water. Water passes through pre-filters and a semi-permeable membrane designed to reduce many dissolved substances. What a specific system reduces depends on its design and documented performance.

Concerns it's intended to address

  • Preferences about drinking-water taste

  • Wanting treated water for coffee, ice, and cooking

  • Uses multiple stages, including a membrane
  • Stores treated water in a small tank or produces on demand, depending on the model

Factors that affect selection

  1. Cabinet space and drain access under the sink
  2. Incoming water pressure
  3. Whether you want a connection to a refrigerator or ice maker
  4. Specific reduction claims you want documented
02

Installation & maintenance

  1. Requires a drain connection and usually a dedicated faucet
  2. Pre-filters and membranes are replaced on intervals that depend on water conditions and use
  3. Very hard or high-sediment water may benefit from pre-treatment

Performance depends on system selection, installation, maintenance, and your specific water conditions.

Common
questions

Is RO water the same as distilled water?

No. They are different processes. RO uses a membrane under pressure; distillation boils and condenses water.

Can RO connect to my fridge?

Often, yes, depending on distance, tubing route, and the system. It's worth discussing during planning.
