The bottled water stacked in a Litchfield Park garage has spent the summer in heat that would make a plastic lawn chair sag. Reverse osmosis is the cheaper, better-tasting alternative, made fresh under the sink as you use it. We install it with its own faucet, often alongside other kitchen plumbing work, and show you what the filters look like when they’re due.
Every gallon that reaches a tap in Litchfield Park brings roughly 15 to 20 grains of dissolved mineral per gallon along for the ride. Most of it leaves with the water. The rest stays behind in your plumbing, a thin layer at a time, and every job here is priced with that in mind.
Reverse osmosis cleans water in stages. A sediment filter catches grit. A carbon filter removes chlorine and most of the compounds behind off tastes, which also protects the membrane, since chlorine damages it. Then household pressure pushes water through the membrane itself, a sheet with pores so fine that most dissolved minerals, salts, and metals can’t follow. What gets rejected is rinsed to the drain. The clean water collects in a small pressurized tank and passes through a final carbon filter on its way to the faucet.
Signs the system needs service
The RO faucet trickles
Slow flow usually means clogged prefilters, a fouled membrane, or a tank that has lost its air charge. All three are fixable, typically in one visit.
That taste is back
Chlorine or a musty note in RO water means the carbon stages are spent. Change them before the chlorine reaches the membrane.
A TDS reading close to the tap’s
The membrane has stopped rejecting much of anything. Membranes wear faster on hard water, and a spent one looks perfectly normal from the outside.
Water running to the drain all night
A steady trickle under the sink long after the tank should be full points to a failed shutoff or check valve. The system keeps producing, and wasting, around the clock.
Drips inside the cabinet
Filter housings, tubing connections, and the drain saddle are the usual sources. Particleboard cabinet floors swell fast, so it’s worth a look whenever the trash goes out.
When were the filters last changed?
If nobody in the house knows, it has been too long. Prefilters generally want changing about once a year, more often on hard or well water.
