Reverse Osmosis in Alpine, CA.
Reverse Osmosis for Alpine homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. Reverse osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved contaminants: dissolved solids, nitrates, heavy metals, PFAS compounds, sodium, and more. The result is water that consistently outperforms bottled water in purity and does it for pennies per gallon rather than dollars.
What reverse osmosis looks like in Alpine
Even after a whole-house well treatment system removes iron, adjusts pH, and conditions hardness, some dissolved solids and trace compounds remain in the water. An under-sink reverse osmosis unit at the kitchen tap takes total dissolved solids down to bottled-water range and provides a final polishing stage for drinking and cooking water. For Alpine families with wells in the I-8 corridor or near agricultural land where nitrate or other agricultural inputs may be present, RO at the drinking tap adds meaningful protection that the upstream treatment stages are not designed to provide.

How does Alpine's climate affect this service?
Alpine sits at 1,800 feet in the foothills along I-8. Almost every home here draws water from a private well, not a municipal supply. The groundwater in this zone runs hard, often carries dissolved iron and manganese, and can have low pH that eats copper pipes from the inside over years of use. Even after a whole-house well treatment system removes iron, adjusts pH, and conditions hardness, some dissolved solids and trace compounds remain in the water.
Does reverse osmosis remove PFAS?
Yes. Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective technologies for PFAS reduction. The EPA established enforceable drinking water limits for several PFAS compounds in 2024, and NSF/ANSI 58 certified RO membranes are rated for PFAS reduction. We specify certified membranes on every RO install.
Does RO remove beneficial minerals?
RO removes most dissolved minerals, including calcium and magnesium. Some people prefer to add a remineralization stage after the membrane that reintroduces trace minerals and slightly raises the pH. We offer this as an add-on. For most households the difference in mineral intake from water versus food is negligible.
