Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration Systems
A reverse osmosis water filtration system helps reduce many unwanted contaminants, dissolved minerals, and impurities in water. Originally developed to turn seawater into safe drinking water, reverse osmosis (RO) technology is now used around the world.
H2O Care installs and services reverse osmosis water systems throughout New England. These systems use a special membrane to help reduce contaminants that can affect the taste, smell, and quality of your water. A reverse osmosis system for home use can improve drinking water for cooking, coffee, ice makers, and more.
With a professional drinking water filtration system from H2O Care, you can enjoy filtered water directly from your tap without constantly buying bottled water. Our trained team provides reverse osmosis installation, maintenance, and filter replacement services to keep your system working properly.

How Reverse Osmosis Works
A reverse osmosis system works by forcing water through a semipermeable membrane. These systems have the potential to remove up to 99% of contaminants. The membrane has microscopic holes through which water can pass. Impurities are trapped on one side of the membrane and diverted away to drain, while the purified water flows into a pressurized storage tank.
In RO systems, pre- and post-filters remove things like sediment, chlorine, and odor-causing contaminants. These steps allow the membrane to work more effectively and protect it from wear, while also improving the taste and smell of drinking water.

FAQs About Reverse Osmosis Systems
-
What are the signs you need reverse osmosis?
You may need a reverse osmosis water filter if your water tastes bad, smells odd, contains dissolved solids, or you have saltwater intrusion in your well. RO systems can also help reduce harmful contaminants like nitrates, arsenic, lead, and PFAS.
-
What are signs your reverse osmosis unit needs service?
Slow water flow, bad tastes or odors, cloudy water, or leaking connections may mean your RO system needs service. In many cases, filter replacement or maintenance can solve the problem.
-
How often should reverse osmosis filters be replaced?
Most reverse osmosis systems need filter replacement about once a year. RO membranes usually last longer, but should still be inspected regularly.
-
Does reverse osmosis remove PFAS?
Many reverse osmosis water systems can help reduce certain PFAS contaminants. They may also help reduce nitrates, lead, and other dissolved impurities.
-
Is reverse osmosis good for well water?
Yes, reverse osmosis systems are often used to filter well water. RO can treat saltwater intrusion, high dissolved solids, nitrates, or other well water quality concerns.
-
What is the difference between a standard water filter and reverse osmosis?
Standard water filters mainly improve taste and reduce things like chlorine or sediment. A reverse osmosis water filtration system helps reduce many types of dissolved contaminants that other filters miss.
-
