Reverse Osmosis in Mequon
A reverse osmosis system under your kitchen sink gives you clean, good-tasting water for drinking, coffee and cooking, right from its own faucet. We install it neatly, show you how it works and check back afterward so it keeps doing its job.
Better drinking water without the bottled water runs
Reverse osmosis pushes water through a very fine membrane that holds back dissolved minerals, chlorine taste, lead from older pipes and many other trace contaminants. Carbon filters before and after the membrane handle taste and odor. Filtered water is held in a compact tank under the cabinet until you open its own faucet at the sink.
This system makes the most sense if what bothers you is the glass of water, the pot of pasta and the morning coffee, rather than every faucet in your home. If you also want better water at the shower or the washing machine, whole-home filtration or a water softener may belong in the conversation too, and we will tell you plainly whether you need one.
Our part does not end when the faucet runs. We call to see how things are going, answer the questions that come up in the first few weeks and leave you with a clear schedule for filter changes.
What your reverse osmosis install includes
- 01
A look at your sink and plumbing
We check the space under the sink, the cold water line, the drain and your water pressure before recommending a system. Low pressure, common on private wells, can mean adding a small pump so the tank fills properly.
- 02
System and faucet installation
We mount the filter housings and tank, add a dedicated faucet in your sink or countertop and connect the drain line with an air gap or proper drain saddle. Everything is fitted so you can reach the filters later.
- 03
Optional ice maker or fridge line
If you want filtered water at the refrigerator, we can run a line from the system to it. We will talk through the route before drilling anything.
- 04
Flush, leak check and cleanup
New filters and the membrane get flushed before you drink a glass. We check every fitting for drips, wipe down the cabinet and take the packaging with us.
- 05
A walk-through and a follow-up
We show you the shutoff, the filter order and what normal sounds and flow look like. Then we check back after the job to make sure the water tastes the way you hoped.
Questions about Reverse Osmosis?
Call(262) 800-6327Signs a reverse osmosis system fits your home
You keep buying bottled water
If cases of water or a pitcher filter live in your kitchen because you don't like the tap, an RO faucet replaces both.
Coffee, tea or ice tastes off
A chlorine or metallic note shows up most in hot drinks and ice cubes. Carbon and the membrane together take care of most of it.
Pipes and fittings from decades back
Aging supply lines and the old solder joining them can leach lead into water as it sits. The membrane strips out the large majority of it, which makes RO a strong pick for the water your family drinks and cooks with.
You want extra assurance for family
New babies, health concerns or simply wanting fewer unknowns in your glass are all good reasons to filter drinking water.
White spots on glassware and kettles
Mineral film from tap water builds up on dishes and in kettles. RO water leaves far less behind.
How the day goes

Your free quote by phone
We talk through what bothers you about your water, your sink setup and any extras like a fridge line. You get a clear quote that holds for 30 days.

Install day
Most kitchen installs take a few hours. We shut off the cold line under the sink only, so the rest of your home keeps running water while we work.
- 3
Flush and show you around
The system fills and flushes before first use. We walk you through the faucet, the shutoff valve and when each filter is due.
- 4
We check back
After you have lived with it a little while, we follow up to ask about taste, flow and any drips. Payment is due when the install is complete, not before.
What affects the price of reverse osmosis
Most of the cost comes from the system itself and how your kitchen is set up. We look at both before quoting, so the number you hear covers the job. For anyone who prefers monthly payments to one lump sum, we offer financing through U.S. Bank Avvance, on approved credit.
- Number of stages and extras
- A basic system costs less than one with a remineralization stage that adds back a little calcium and magnesium for taste.
- Countertop material
- Stone counters like quartz and granite need a special bit and a slower hand to cut a new faucet hole. If your sink already has an unused sprayer or soap opening, or the counter is laminate, the faucet goes in faster.
- Water pressure
- Homes with low pressure, including many on wells, may need a permeate or booster pump so the tank fills and the membrane works efficiently.
- Fridge or second location
- Running a line to an ice maker, or installing the system in a basement to feed more than one tap, adds tubing and labor.
Reverse osmosis questions we hear
How often do the filters need changing?
Plan on fresh pre-filters and a new carbon post-filter roughly every twelve months. The membrane itself goes much longer, often a few years, though how long really comes down to how much water you draw and what is in it. At install we hand you a written schedule and explain what each filter does, so swapping them is not a guessing game.
What warranty comes with the system?
The RO unit is covered for 1 year, with filters excluded since they are meant to be replaced. Our labor on the original install is also covered for 1 year. If something leaks or misbehaves in that time, let us know and we will come take a look.
Does reverse osmosis waste water?
Some water goes to the drain to carry away what the membrane removes. Newer systems and permeate pumps cut that amount considerably, and we will explain the ratio for the system we recommend.
Do I need a water softener as well?
Not always. RO handles your drinking water on its own. If your water is hard enough to scale fixtures across your home, softened water also helps the membrane last longer, and we will give you an honest answer on whether it is worth adding.
Can I back out once the paperwork is signed?
Yes. The agreement gives you a window of three business days to cancel. On top of that, the quote we give you stays good for 30 days, so you can take your time and talk it over at home before deciding.
