What is a Reverse Osmosis System? Benefits of Installing an RO Water System

Welcome to Ask Reliance, where we answer your most asked home comfort questions. Today, we’re talking about reverse osmosis (RO)—a simple, effective water filtration system for your home.

A reverse osmosis system is typically installed under your kitchen sink. It uses a multi-stage filtration process, including a specialized RO membrane, to remove impurities, dissolved solids, and impurities from your tap water.

Why Consider an RO System?

  • Great-tasting water: Helps remove unpleasant tastes or odours from your tap water.

  • Health-conscious choice: Reduce exposure to impurities.

  • Eco-friendly: Cut back on plastic water bottles if you are constantly buying them.

  • Compact design: Perfect for small kitchens, condos, or cottages.

Our RO systems connect to a dedicated faucet at your sink, providing purified water for drinking and cooking. You can also add an alkaline filter to help balance pH or reintroduce minerals.

If you’re curious about what’s in your water—or looking for a simple, reliable home filtration option—a reverse osmosis system may be the perfect fit.

Call on Reliance for all your water purification and filtration needs. Our trained technicians make installation easy, so you can enjoy pure, great-tasting water every day.
