Reverse osmosis systems Denver

Crisp drinking water at the tap you actually use. We install RO for Denver Water homes that want chlorine, byproducts, and dissolved solids pulled down — and for well-edge properties after the right pretreatment. Call (303) 248-3390.

The outcome people want

Better taste is the headline. What RO actually removes is the reason it lasts.

Denver Water is well run. Households still call because the kitchen tap smells like the pool, ice is cloudy, or an older home has solder they do not want in the drinking glass. Reverse osmosis is the tightest common residential barrier for those dissolved contaminants.

We almost always put carbon ahead of the membrane so chlorine does not damage it. If hardness is also chewing up fixtures, the honest pair is a Denver water softener at entry plus RO at the sink — not one device pretending to be both.

  • Chlorine taste and odor from residual disinfectant
  • Disinfection byproducts that form in the distribution main overnight
  • Trace metals from pre-1986 solder and brass
  • Dissolved solids that flatten coffee, tea, and ice

What we install

RO configurations we use in Denver

  • Under-sink 4-stage RO

    Sediment, carbon, membrane, and a polish filter feeding a dedicated faucet. The most common Denver Water install.

    Under-sink filters
  • 5-stage and remineralization

    Extra stage when a well or a specific contaminant calls for it, or when someone wants minerals added back for taste.

  • Whole-house RO

    Every tap on permeate. Reserved for high-TDS wells or contamination that does not belong in showers and laundry either.

    Whole-house filters
  • Light-commercial RO

    Ice machines, espresso, and process water. Sized on flow, not a residential tank. See commercial filtration for building-wide work.

Process

From tap sample to a faucet that stays on

  1. Test the drinking tap

    TDS, chlorine residual, and anything the well or plumbing is adding. We ask how much cooking and drinking water you actually use.

  2. Choose point of use vs whole home

    Most Denver jobs stay under the sink. We only go whole-house when the water chemistry or the household’s goals require it.

  3. Install, flush, and verify

    Leak check, tank pressure, and a post-install TDS reading so you can see the drop, not just hear about it.

  4. Filter and membrane service

    Cartridges on a calendar; membranes when rejection falls. Denver maintenance visits keep the system honest after install day.

Reverse osmosis in Denver — practical answers

Is reverse osmosis in Denver worth it if the city already treats the water?

City treatment is about meeting limits at the plant. RO is about the glass you drink. Chlorine residual, disinfection byproducts, and metals from older solder are still reasons Denver households put a membrane under the sink.

Under-sink or whole-house RO?

Most Denver Water homes use point-of-use RO at the kitchen. Whole-house RO is for serious contamination, high-TDS wells, or households that want every tap on permeate. We do not upsell whole-house when a dedicated faucet solves the problem.

Does RO help with Denver’s chlorine taste?

Yes — carbon stages strip chlorine and many odor compounds before the membrane. The membrane then cuts dissolved solids. Taste is usually the first change people notice.

What about well properties on the city edge?

RO is often the drinking-water stage after iron, sulfur, or sediment are handled upstream. Start with well water treatment in Denver so the membrane is not asked to do the whole job.
