Why RO Appeals in Colton
Colton's 2024 city report puts hardness at 150 to 230 mg/L, which means a lot of dissolved minerals in the water.
- Taste. RO removes much of the mineral load, so water tastes cleaner.
- Spotting. Glasses and kettles stay clearer.
- Ice and coffee. Better water improves both.
- Pairing. RO works best after a softener.
Install Sequence
- Pick the system. Tank or tankless, based on your sink space.
- Mount and plumb. Filters and the membrane go in the cabinet.
- Add the faucet and drain. The air gap faucet and saddle are installed.
- Run the fridge line. Optional tubing to the refrigerator.
- Flush and test. We check for leaks and measure output.

How RO Works in Plain Terms
- Prefilters. Catch sediment and chlorine before the membrane.
- Membrane. Pushes water through a very fine barrier and leaves most dissolved solids behind.
- Storage tank. Holds a supply so the faucet flows at normal speed.
- Post filter. A final polish for taste.
- Drain line. Carries rejected water away.
Tank or Tankless
Tank Systems
- Pros. Lower cost and simple parts.
- Cons. Takes more cabinet space.
Tankless Systems
- Pros. Compact and fast.
- Cons. Needs more electricity and higher cost.
Space and Counter Prep
- Measure the cabinet. Pipes and the disposal take room.
- Check the counter. Stone and solid surface need special bits.
- Clear the space. Empty the cabinet before we arrive.
- Plan the faucet spot. A spare sprayer hole is a handy home.
Filter Schedule
- Pre filters. Roughly every 6 to 12 months.
- Membrane. Roughly every 2 to 4 years.
- Post filter. Check yearly.
- Tank. Inspect the air pressure now and then.
We can set reminders so changes do not slip.
Water Quality Questions to Ask
- What do you want reduced? Taste, minerals or specific substances.
- How much water do you use? Heavy cooking households need bigger tanks.
- Is your water softened? Softening helps the membrane.
- Will the fridge need a line? Plan the route early.
