Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems in Greater Akron, OH

Reverse osmosis cleans the water homes use for drinking water or ice machines. The systems are compact and can be installed under the kitchen sink or in the basement below. They feed a separate faucet at your sink but can also be split off to feed your ice maker and water dispenser at the refrigerator. Best of all, there’s no more buying cases of water at the store. Prices range from $533 for an owner-supplied install up to $1,222 with your choice of faucet finish, as of July 2026, and we service what we install.

What reverse osmosis actually does

While water softeners remove hardness throughout the whole house, reverse osmosis fixes the water you drink. Water passes through sediment and carbon stages, then a membrane fine enough to strip dissolved solids that carbon alone cannot touch. It is the same technology bottled water plants run, shrunk to a cabinet. The membrane is designed to reduce chlorine taste and odor along with the things you cannot taste, like lead and nitrates. The result is pure water that makes coffee taste like the beans instead of chlorine or the copper pipes in your home.

The system we install

We install the PuroMax four-stage, 50-gallon-per-day system with a dedicated sink-top faucet in your choice of finish:

• Brushed stainless faucet: $1,222 installed
• Chrome faucet: $1,220 installed
• Matte black faucet: $1,216 installed

Prices as of July 2026. The install includes the cold water tie-in with its own shutoff, the filter bank and pressure tank set in the sink cabinet (or the basement below it if your cabinet is full), the drain line, and the initial flush and fill so it pours right before we leave. Already bought your own RO unit? We install owner-supplied systems for $533.

What it costs to maintain

This is the part the box stores skip. An RO system is not install-and-forget. We see systems all the time that have never had the filters changed and just don’t work anymore. Every system we install includes a reminder schedule to keep your system performing as it should. The effort and cost to keep it working are reasonable:

• Filter change: $90, recommended every 12 months
• Membrane and full filter set: $357, recommended every 2 years
• Pressure tank, if yours ever fails: $210

Compare that to what your household spends on bottled water in a year, and the math makes good sense. No hauling cases, no plastic pile, same water from a faucet that is always on.

Soft water helps a reverse osmosis system

If your house has hard water, the RO membrane spends its life fighting scale and may not last as long. A water softener upstream is the fix, and the free in-home water test we run before any water treatment work tells us whether your supply needs one. City water with taste problems through the whole house might point to a whole-house filter instead, and the water treatment page covers the full lineup, iron and sulfur included.
