Will a reverse osmosis system remove PFAS and "forever chemicals" from my water?

Yes. Unlike standard refrigerator or pitcher carbon filters, the reverse osmosis (RO) systems installed by Superior Water and Radon Systems LLC use a microscopic, semi-permeable membrane. This specialized filtration is highly effective at stripping out difficult contaminants found in local groundwater, including PFAS (forever chemicals), lead, and arsenic, ensuring the water your family drinks in Derby, CT (and surrounding areas) is safe and pure.

Do I need a whole-house reverse osmosis system, or just one for the kitchen sink?

For almost all homeowners in the Derby, CT area, an under-sink (Point of Use) RO system is the smartest and most cost-effective choice. It provides highly purified water exactly where you need it—for drinking, cooking, and making ice. A whole-house RO system is rarely necessary, as it requires a massive amount of water and pressure. Instead, Superior Water and Radon Systems LLC usually recommends pairing an under-sink RO with a standard whole-house softener to protect your plumbing while giving you perfect drinking water.

How much maintenance does an RO system actually need?

Reverse osmosis systems are incredibly low-maintenance, especially compared to the hassle of hauling heavy cases of bottled water back to your Derby home. Generally, the standard pre-filters need to be swapped out every 6 to 12 months, and the main RO membrane only needs replacing every 2 to 3 years. It’s a simple process, and the team at Superior Water and Radon Systems LLC is always ready to help you maintain your system so you have premium water on tap year-round.

Will reverse osmosis make my water taste "flat" by removing all the minerals?

It doesn't have to! While the RO process does remove natural minerals along with the bad contaminants, Superior Water and Radon Systems LLC offers modern systems equipped with a remineralization filter. This final step adds healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium back into the purified water right before it reaches your glass, giving you crisp, perfectly balanced, and great-tasting water straight from your kitchen sink.

Concerned About PFAS? Safeguard Your Health with Reverse Osmosis

Superior Water & Radon Systems delivers clean, PFAS-reduced, and worry-free water for your Connecticut home.

Understanding PFAS and the Risks:

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of synthetic chemicals renowned for their extensive use in various consumer products and industrial applications. From non-stick cookware to firefighting foams, their versatility knows few bounds. Dubbed "forever chemicals" due to their remarkable persistence in the environment and the human body, PFAS linger indefinitely, posing a significant challenge for environmental and public health. Exposure to these compounds has been linked to a myriad of health concerns, including increased cholesterol levels, compromised immune function, developmental delays in children, and even certain cancers like testicular and kidney cancer.

Reverse Osmosis: The Superior Solution

Reverse osmosis is like a super-fine filter for water. Imagine a sieve so tiny that only pure water molecules can pass through, leaving behind all the nasty stuff like PFAS and other contaminants. It works by applying pressure to push water through a special membrane, trapping impurities and letting only clean water flow through.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) knows a good thing when they see it. They've recognized reverse osmosis as a top-notch method for getting rid of PFAS. So, when it comes to ensuring your water is as clean as can be, reverse osmosis is the superhero you can count on.
