Clean, purified drinking water at home isn't just a nice-to-have. It's essential for your family's health. We design residential purification systems that strip out contaminants like chlorine taste, lead, and bacteria, so every glass from your tap tastes crisp and clean.
Dealing with bad taste, cloudiness, or contamination concerns? You shouldn't have to wonder about the water your family drinks. We tailor each purification solution to your home's specific water-quality issues, striking the right balance between thorough purification and preserving the qualities your water should keep.
Reverse osmosis: purified water from your own tap
Reverse osmosis (RO) is the workhorse of residential drinking-water purification. Water is forced through a membrane fine enough to remove the dissolved contaminants that ordinary pitcher or fridge filters can't touch, while carbon stages polish off chlorine taste and odor. The system installs under the kitchen sink with its own dedicated faucet, purified water on demand, right where you drink, cook, and make coffee.
Crisp, clean taste: no more chlorine, metallic, or "earthy" flavors
Removes dissolved contaminants such as lead and nitrates
Better-tasting coffee, tea, ice, and food cooked in water you trust
An end to hauling and storing bottled water
These are the two types of RO systems we install:
Tank system: storage tank and filter bank under the sink.Tankless system: compact unit with quick-change cartridges.
The Aqua Flo systems we sell and install:
The Aqua Flo QCRO tank system. The QCRO4V-50 is certified by IAPMO R&T to NSF/ANSI 58 and CSA B483.1 for the reduction of lead, arsenic, fluoride, PFOA/PFOS and more, verified by test data.The Aqua Flo CRO-800UX6 tankless system, which makes fresh drinking water on demand with no storage tank taking up room under the sink.
RO treats the water you drink. If your whole house has hard water, staining, or odor problems, pair it with a whole-home treatment system. Many Tyler-area homes benefit from both.
Matched to your water, not a template
City water and well water arrive with very different problems: chlorine byproducts and taste on one hand; sediment, iron, or bacteria on the other. We kick things off with a full water analysis at your tap to pinpoint what's actually going on, whether that's sediment, high sodium, or harmful bacteria. From there we recommend the treatment approach that fits best, be it a filtration stage, a softener ahead of the RO unit, or purification technology like UV where your water calls for it.

Frequently asked questions
What does a reverse osmosis system actually remove?
RO forces water through a membrane fine enough to strip out dissolved contaminants ordinary filters can't touch: lead, nitrates, and the dissolved solids that affect taste, while the system's carbon stages handle chlorine taste and odor. What's actually in your water determines how much benefit you'll see, which is why we start with a free on-site test: we'll show you what your tap delivers today and what an RO system would change.
Does reverse osmosis remove the good minerals too?
An RO membrane removes dissolved solids across the board. It can't tell wanted minerals from unwanted contaminants. For most families that's a worthwhile trade for drinking water, and where taste matters, systems can include a remineralization stage that adds beneficial minerals back. We tailor each install to strike the right balance between thorough purification and preserving the qualities your water should keep.
Is a drinking water system better than buying bottled water?
For a household drinking multiple gallons a week, an under-sink system almost always wins over time: purified water on demand, no cases to haul, no plastic piling up. It also covers cooking, coffee, ice, and pet bowls, which bottled water rarely does. Upkeep is a simple periodic filter change we can handle as part of maintenance.
Where does it install, and does it work with well water?
Typically under the kitchen sink with its own dedicated faucet. It works on well water too, though wells often need pre-treatment first. If your well carries sediment, iron, or bacteria, we address those ahead of the RO unit so the membrane lasts and the water is genuinely safe. Our well water treatment page covers that side in detail.
How much does a reverse osmosis system cost?
Under-sink reverse osmosis systems start at $1,150 installed. Filter changes fold into our annual maintenance visit, starting at $175 plus parts, and we confirm the right setup with a free on-site water test first.
