On the flip side a family can install whole house reverse osmosis to protect themselves from the wide array of contaminants in city water. The whole house reverse osmosis system shown above is very effective at providing purified city water and costs about $20,500 plus shipping.

Sometimes whole house reverse osmosis is the only option. Extremely high total dissolved solids (tds) can be among the most common reasons to employ whole house reverse osmosis. Other issues may include high sodium (a component of tds) and a mix of other contaminants like fluoride, radioactive metals, or nitrates.

Often times substantial pre-treatment is necessary to prepare the water before it reaches the actual reverse osmosis system. In the case of this photo there is no pretreatment. The reverse osmosis system is on the left. Note the permeate pump just above the canister holding two ro membranes on the right.  There is a sediment filter in front of the membrane.  The water then travels to the right where the almond colored tank is an acid neutralizer to raise water pH.  Next is water storage tank based on an estimate of peak daily water usage.  Note the pump on the right. This pump delivers pressurized water to the home. This system cost the homeowner about $12,000.

"Because I have chemical sensitivities, allergies, and other health challenges, I need the purest water. You and I discussed my particular requirements and sensitivities and arrived at a customized set of components for whole house filtration, showering, and drinking. I intentionally waited a year after the installation to have the water analyzed by a national lab to see if the filtration components were each still doing a good job, even at the point in time when replacement filters were due. The various tests came back with results that were near perfect: in all cases contaminants and bacteria were below the national standard, and no contaminants and bacteria could be detected at all for the drinking water. This is the only filtration after many years and several systems that allows me to tolerate the water and have peace of mind about it. Thanks for your help and caring."

This 3/4 inch hot water extender mixing valve is designed for domestic water supply systems and recommended for tankless heater, water heater, and solar applications installed at or near the boiler or hot water heater. It consists of a lead free brass body, solder connections, thermostat, stainless steel springs, and dial adjustment cap. The hydraulically operated thermostat opens a spring loaded check in the cold water inlet which allows cold and hot water to mix and can be replaced as a unit. The temperature range is 120 to 160 degrees F (49 to 71 degrees C).

Are you looking for a home water purification system or a kitchen water filter and wondering how to find your way through all the hype?

Sometimes your water is so bad or has such a unique combination of contaminants that whole house reverse osmosis is only way to resolve the issues. I provide this photo for you in order to give you the perspective that might be missing in a brief discussion of the topic. Whole house reverse osmosis need not be difficult to operate but it is much more complex to rely on than a whole house water filter such as my Urban Defender. There will also be more maintenance. You may request specifications from me by emailing.

Obtain a copy of your city's annual water quality report (also known as a Consumer Confidence Report) Here's how to find it:

High iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic or hardness will require additional pre-treatment for removal prior to the water entering the whole house reverse osmosis system.
