The Best Water Filtration System For Your Home
Whether you’re drawing water from the municipal system or from a private well, a water treatment system can do everything from softening your water to removing harmful contaminants.
Reverse Osmosis is a water treatment system installed under your sink that removes dissolved substances while still giving you great-tasting water.

How It Works
Reverse osmosis is a water filtration system for home that pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane with very tiny holes called "pores”.
As water passes through the pores, impurities that are too big to pass are held back and flushed away.
Here's a more technical breakdown of how reverse osmosis works:
Step 1: Your water supply passes through a particle filter that removes silt, sediment, sand, and clay particles that might clog the R/O membrane.
Step 2: Your water is then pushed through an activated carbon filter that traps minerals and contaminants such as chromium, mercury, copper, chloramine and pesticides.
It also removes chlorine which is important because chlorine will shorten the life of your membrane.
Step 3: Water is transferred under pressure into the R/O module. Only clean water passes through the small pores in the membrane.
Step 4: Treated water is then sent to your storage tank.
Step 5: Treated water passes through an activated carbon filter to further improve the water's taste and smell.

Benefits of Reverse Osmosis
At this point, you might be asking whether it’s worth investing in this advanced water filtration system for home.
Here are a few of the more specific benefits.
Remove unwanted substances from your home’s water supply before it reaches the tap: Reverse osmosis can remove dissolved solids, salts, minerals that cause hardness, organic chemicals and other impurities.
Improve your water's taste: It can improve the taste of water for people who do not like the taste of dissolved mineral solids. Plus, you won’t have to spend extra money on single-use bottles of water.
Protection for your appliances: R/O treated water will eliminate scale buildup in kettles and coffee makers, for example.
Lower your sodium or potassium intake: If you’re on a prescribed sodium or potassium-restricted diet, this will certainly help.
Silence: Reverse Osmosis units produce no noise other than the sound of water discharging into the drain (usually a sink or a floor drain).

“WaterSmart installed a softener at my daughters new house and I was there during the process. The installers were fast, friendly and courteous. They explained the process to install it and gave her clear instructions on how to use it. They did not leave until they were sure that there were no issues. They did a thorough clean up after they were done. My wife and I were looking for a new softener at the same time so we went to their store on Davenport. We had the same friendly service with no effort to sell us up to a larger model. We got a great deal and they installed it the next day, removing our old tank and unit. Great service, great prices and very skilled technicians. I would recommend them to anyone considering a new or replacement unit.
