Reverse Osmosis Water Systems

Reverse osmosis water systems (RO Systems) have become a common method for the treatment of household drinking water. This water treatment process filters undesirable materials from water by using pressure to force the water molecules through a semi permeable reverse osmosis membrane. RO Systems, or reverse osmosis filters, water treatment removes ionized salts, colloids, and organic molecules down to a molecular weight of 100. 

Fresh Water Systems offers a full line of reverse osmosis systems from Water Factory Systems, GE, PuroSmart and more. Our RO Drinking Water Systems are designed for point-of-use residential water quality improvement.


The Environmental Working Group just released a report on December 20, 2010 that Hexavalent Chromium or Chromium-6 has been found in 31 of 35 U.S. cities. The highest levels were detected in Norman, OK; Honolulu, HI; and Riverside, CA. Awareness of the presence of Chromium-6 was brought to the spotlight through the feature film "Erin Brockovich" starring Julia Roberts.

The best way to remove Chromium-6 from tap water at home is with a reverse osmosis system or a water distiller. There is no legal limit for Chromium-6 in either tap water or bottled water, so ensure your safety by utilizing a Reverse Osmosis System Drinking Water System.
