Reverse Osmosis in Tierrasanta, CA.
Reverse Osmosis for Tierrasanta 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 Tierrasanta
San Diego's chloramine-treated, high-TDS municipal supply gives tap water a flat or chemical taste that whole-home conditioning alone does not resolve at the glass. An under-sink reverse osmosis system at the kitchen tap removes chloramines and disinfection byproducts, takes dissolved solids down to the bottled-water range, and filters nitrates and residual mineral content from the Colorado River source water. Most Tierrasanta households who add an RO system after whole-home treatment comment immediately on the improvement in drinking water taste.

How does Tierrasanta's climate affect this service?
Tierrasanta is the "Island in the Hills" on San Diego municipal water with the same hard chloramine-treated supply as the rest of the city. Original 1970s-80s water infrastructure in many homes has been operating on 17-20+ grain hardness water for decades, making water heater and fixture protection a priority. San Diego's chloramine-treated, high-TDS municipal supply gives tap water a flat or chemical taste that whole-home conditioning alone does not resolve at the glass.
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.
