Under-Sink Reverse Osmosis in Cedar Hill

Clean Water Right at Your Kitchen Sink

Tap water in a reverse osmosis system moves through a sediment filter, then a carbon filter, then an extremely fine membrane that stops dissolved solids. The filtered water fills a small tank under the sink and flows from a narrow faucet beside your regular one. Most households use it for drinking, cooking, coffee and ice.

It fits best when your worry is the water you drink: chlorine taste, lead from aging pipes, or just wanting one more layer of protection from trace contaminants. For better water in showers and laundry too, whole-house carbon filtration covers that, and the two pair nicely.

We work neatly. We clear the cabinet together with you, cover the floor and take every bit of tubing and packaging away.

What Comes With Your Install

Testing before any sizing

We test your water so the system fits what's really there. If the readings call for something else, you'll hear that from us.

Every filter stage

A sediment and a carbon pre-filter guard the membrane, and a last polishing filter improves taste before water reaches your glass. We describe each stage in simple words.

Its own faucet

If your sink has an unused sprayer hole, the faucet goes there. If not, we drill a neat hole in the sink or counter and vacuum the dust while we work.

Supply and drain hookups

We connect to the cold line with a new shutoff and hook up the drain line with an air gap, which keeps wastewater from backing into the system.

Fridge line if you want one

For a refrigerator with an ice maker or water dispenser, we can route filtered water to it along the wall of the cabinet.

Your cabinet and floor kept clean

We use drop cloths, a mat inside the cabinet and towels under each connection. At the end we wipe the cabinet out and return your things to where you'd like them.

Signs Reverse Osmosis Fits Your Home

• Your water tastes like a pool

  A chlorine taste or smell is common with treated city water. Carbon pre-filtering in an RO system takes it out of your drinking water.

• You buy bottled water by the case

  If the garage is stacked with plastic jugs, a faucet under your sink is easier to live with and saves the trips to the store.

• Your home has older plumbing

  Lead can come from old pipes, solder and fixtures inside a house, not from the water supply itself. The fine RO membrane holds back most of it, so the water you pour for drinking and cooking carries far less.

• White crust on kettles and coffee makers

  Mineral buildup on small appliances means dissolved solids are in your water. RO removes most of them from what you drink and cook with.

• Cloudy or odd-tasting ice

  If your ice smells or tastes off, a filtered fridge line usually solves it.

How the Job Runs

1. 1

   A conversation by phone

   Start with a quick call. Let us know what you have noticed, like a taste, a smell or spots on glasses, and roughly how the cabinet below your sink is laid out. Then we pick a visit time that suits your schedule.

2. 2

   Test and look under the sink

   We test your water and check cabinet space, the shutoff valves and the drain. You get a written estimate with each item listed, and we answer questions before anything is decided.

3. 3

   Installation day

   We empty the cabinet with you, lay down protection and shut off the cold water. Then we mount the filters and tank, set the faucet and make the connections, usually within a few hours.

4. 4

   Flush, check and clean

   We flush the new filters, check every fitting for drips and pour you the first glass. Then we vacuum, wipe down and show you how the filter changes work.

What Moves the Cost of an RO System

Kitchen sinks vary a lot from house to house, so we give you a number once we have tested your water and seen what is under the sink. The written estimate lists every part and every piece of labor on its own line. Here is what makes that number go up or down.

The system itself

A unit that stores water in a tank is priced differently from one that makes water on demand. More filters in the line add to the price, and so does a final cartridge that puts a little calcium and magnesium back in for taste.

Your countertop

Drilling granite or quartz takes a diamond bit and more time than a stainless sink or laminate. An unused sprayer hole avoids drilling entirely.

Plumbing condition

Old or stuck shutoff valves and tight drain layouts may need replacing or rerouting before we connect.

Extra lines

Running filtered water to a refrigerator or a second faucet adds tubing and labor.

Ongoing filters

Pre-filters and the membrane wear out on a schedule. We go over that cost up front, and our filter replacement and maintenance service can handle it for you.
