FAQs
What is reverse-osmosis (RO) filtration and how does it purify my Copperhill home’s water?
Reverse-osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that filters out up to 99% of dissolved salts, heavy metals, chlorine by-products, micro-plastics, and many other contaminants found in municipal or well water. The system typically has three to five stages—sediment pre-filter, carbon block, RO membrane, post-carbon polish, and sometimes a remineralization cartridge—ensuring the water that reaches your tap is exceptionally clean, clear, and better tasting.
Why is an RO system a good choice for Copperhill residents specifically?
Copperhill’s water can contain elevated levels of hardness minerals, iron, and seasonal organic compounds that cause taste and odor issues. An RO system tackles these local water quality challenges by removing hardness ions, dissolved metals, and volatile organic chemicals in a single solution. RO also offers extra peace of mind for homes that rely on private wells, which may experience occasional bacterial or chemical intrusion after heavy rains common to our area.
How often will I need to maintain or replace filters in my RO unit?
Typical service intervals are: sediment pre-filter every 6–12 months, carbon pre-filter every 6–12 months, RO membrane every 2–3 years, and post-carbon “polishing” filter every 12 months. If you notice a drop in water flow or a change in taste sooner, schedule a check-up. Our Copperhill technicians can set you up on a convenient filter-change program that keeps your warranty valid and performance optimal.
What does installation involve and will it fit under my kitchen sink?
Most residential RO systems are compact (about the size of a small desktop computer) and mount neatly in the cabinet beneath your sink. Installation includes connecting the system to the cold-water line, adding a dedicated RO faucet on the sink deck, installing a 2–4-gallon storage tank, and routing a small drain line to your sink’s waste pipe. Our licensed plumbers usually complete the job in 2–3 hours with minimal disruption, and we always leave the workspace spotless.
How much water does an RO system waste? Is it environmentally friendly?
Modern high-efficiency membranes and smart flow restrictors have reduced waste to roughly 2–3 gallons of brine per gallon of purified water—about half of what older units consumed. The waste line simply carries the rejected contaminants down the drain. Many Copperhill homeowners capture this brine for non-potable uses such as plant watering or cleaning. Overall, RO’s environmental impact is far lower than buying and disposing of single-use plastic bottles.
What is the cost of a reverse-osmosis system and are there financing options?
A high-quality, professionally installed under-sink RO system for a typical Copperhill household ranges from $650 to $1,100, which includes the first year of filters and labor. Whole-house RO starts around $4,000 due to larger membranes and pumps. We offer 0% financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months, plus discounts when combined with a softener or UV system.
