FAQs
What is reverse osmosis and how does it improve the drinking water in my Talbott home?
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a multi-stage filtration process that forces water through a semi-permeable membrane, removing up to 99% of dissolved salts, lead, nitrates, PFAS, chlorine by-products, and many other contaminants common in Talbott’s municipal and private-well supplies. The result is clean, fresh-tasting water delivered directly from a dedicated RO faucet, eliminating the need for bottled water and reducing plastic waste.
Will installing an RO faucet require major changes to my existing plumbing?
No. Our technicians mount a compact RO unit under your kitchen sink, connect it to the cold-water line, and drill a 7⁄16" hole (or use an existing sprayer hole) for the dedicated faucet. A ⅜" drain saddle attaches to the sink’s drain pipe to carry away the small amount of reject water. The entire installation is non-invasive, typically takes 2–3 hours, and is fully reversible should you remodel or move.
How often do I need to replace the filters and membrane, and what does it cost?
Pre- and post-filters (sediment and carbon) should be changed every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and household usage. The RO membrane generally lasts 3–5 years. In Talbott, an annual filter pack costs about $60–$80, and a replacement membrane runs $90–$120. We offer convenient service plans that include parts, labor, and annual water-quality testing to ensure peak performance.
Does a reverse-osmosis system waste water, and how efficient is it?
All residential RO units create a small stream of ‘reject’ water to flush away contaminants. Modern systems average a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio—meaning 3–4 gallons go to drain for every gallon of purified water produced. High-efficiency models we install in Talbott can achieve ratios as low as 1.5:1. Many homeowners repurpose the reject water for tasks like plant watering or cleaning to minimize waste.
Is RO water safe for cooking, and do I need to add minerals back in?
Yes. RO water is excellent for cooking, coffee, tea, and baby formula because it is free of taste-altering impurities. While the process removes most dissolved minerals, typical diets more than compensate, and the World Health Organization deems RO water safe for all ages. If you prefer a slight mineral ‘bite,’ we can add an in-line remineralization cartridge that restores calcium and magnesium for a balanced, alkaline finish.
What warranty and ongoing support do you provide to Talbott residents?
Every RO system we install carries a 1-year labor warranty and a 3–5-year manufacturer warranty on tanks, faucets, and the RO membrane housing. Our local team offers 24-hour phone support, annual maintenance reminders, discounted filter-change visits, and free post-installation water testing. Should you sell your home, the warranty is transferable to the new owner, adding value and peace of mind.
