Reverse osmosis: bottled-quality water from your own tap.

A membrane under the kitchen sink blocks dissolved solids, chlorine, heavy metals and harmful chemicals, and feeds a dedicated faucet and your refrigerator line. It is the one system we install at the point of use.

Is this your water?

The signs we hear about most.

  • Buying bottled waterBecause the tap tastes flat, chlorinated or metallic.
  • A test result you want goneLead, arsenic, nitrates, fluoride or PFAS in the drinking water.
  • Residue on the kettle and glassesDissolved solids that leave spots and film.
  • Cloudy iceThe fridge line makes ice that looks and tastes off.

Removing impurities, delivering purity.

Dissolved solids, chlorine and harmful chemicals reduce the quality of water and make it less suitable for everyday use. Reverse osmosis pushes water through a special membrane that blocks unwanted elements, reducing bacteria, heavy metals and other harmful substances. The result is purified water for drinking, cooking and ice, and a long-term answer that eliminates the need for bottled alternatives.

Untreated water also leaves residue on appliances and surfaces: spots on dishes, film on sinks and fixtures. By reducing sediment and dissolved minerals at the tap, our reverse osmosis systems keep kitchens cleaner and small appliances running longer. Businesses benefit too, by providing safer drinking water for employees and customers.

Our team guides each step of the process and recommends the right system based on your water quality, household needs and usage habits. Our high-efficiency model recovers 99.9% of the water instead of sending four to twelve gallons down the drain for every gallon produced.

What we install

Reverse osmosis solutions we offer.

Compact under-sink units

Fit neatly under the kitchen cabinet and deliver purified water from a dedicated faucet and the refrigerator line. Fresh, great-tasting water without buying bottled alternatives.

Commercial reverse osmosis

Restaurants, offices and other businesses depend on reliable filtration for food preparation, beverages and employee hydration. Commercial-grade systems sized for the demand.

Ongoing maintenance and support

Filters and membranes collect contaminants over time and lose effectiveness. We replace worn components and clean the unit on a schedule, so the water stays consistent with no surprises.

RO for arsenic and other test results

When a well test comes back with arsenic or other dissolved contaminants, an under-sink RO treats the water you actually drink without changing the main plumbing.

Common questions

What people ask Tony about reverse osmosis.

Quick answers to the questions we hear on the phone. If you would rather just talk it through, call us; we test your water before quoting anything.

How often do the filters need changing?

Once a year for the Quick Change cartridges, which twist off without removing a sump. The membrane lasts several years; we check it on the annual visit.

Does reverse osmosis waste water?

Standard RO sends some water to the drain. The H.E.R.O. model recovers 99.9% of it by routing the rinse water back into the house supply.

Can it feed the refrigerator?

Yes. We plumb a line to the refrigerator for ice and the door dispenser, in addition to the dedicated faucet at the sink.

Is RO enough on its own?

It treats drinking and cooking water at one tap. For hardness, iron or chlorine throughout the house you pair it with a softener, an iron filter or a carbon filter at the point of entry.

Does the price include installation?

Yes. Both models are quoted as starting prices with installation included; the final number depends on the plumbing under your sink.

Tony came out to do an assessment when our old water softener quit working. He did a water test and provided some recommendations and options for new equipment. He was able to install the new equipment within days of us deciding which route we wanted to go. Great service and great prices!
Chris S.Google review★★★★★
We had Taplin install a water softener a couple years ago. They were so great we had them back for a filter this year. Tony was clear on communication, super fast to schedule and quick on install. He even answered all my questions before and after the fact. Products are easy, 0 maintenance. Go with Taplin, they're great!
Shawn K.Google review · Local Guide★★★★★
Talk about customer first! Knowledgeable, fast, and genuinely committed to doing things right. Fair pricing and exceptional service. Couldn't be happier with my water softener install. So glad I found them! Highly highly recommend.
Julie E.Google review★★★★★
After much research on local companies we decided to go with Taplin Water and I'm very glad we did. Taplin is a family owned business and Tony is a very stand up guy. It literally took him about 30-45 minutes to install an iron filter.

One problem usually comes with another.

Most well-water homes need a softener and an iron filter together; most city-water homes pair a softener with carbon.
