Purification

Bottled-quality water, without the bottles

A reverse osmosis system removes over 90% of dissolved solids, plus lead, chlorine and more, for great tasting water right at your sink.

Water Depot 5-Stage reverse osmosis unit with storage tank

Better water for drinking and cooking

Multi-stage filtration

Sediment, carbon and membrane stages work together.

Less plastic

Skip the cases of bottled water.

Remineralizing options

Add back healthy minerals for a crisp taste.

How reverse osmosis works

Reverse osmosis (RO) pushes water through a very fine membrane that lets water molecules pass but holds back dissolved salts, metals and many other contaminants. Pre-filters remove sediment and chlorine to protect the membrane, and a carbon post-filter polishes the taste. Purified water is stored in a small tank under your sink and delivered through its own faucet.

What RO reduces

  • Total dissolved solids (TDS), often by 90% or more
  • Lead, copper and other heavy metals
  • Sodium, including sodium added by a water softener
  • Nitrates, fluoride and arsenic (varies by system)
  • Chlorine taste and odour

Performance depends on your water and the system chosen. Look for systems certified to NSF/ANSI standards, and ask your store to test before and after installation.

Ways to enjoy RO water

Kitchen faucet

A dedicated tap for drinking, coffee, tea and cooking.

Fridge and ice maker

Clear, great-tasting ice with no cloudy cubes.

Remineralizing stage

Adds calcium and magnesium back for a crisp, alkaline taste.

U-Fill at the store

No system yet? Fill your jugs with RO water at any store.

Maintenance made easy

Pre- and post-filters are usually changed every 6 to 12 months and the membrane every 2 to 3 years. Your store keeps your filter history on file and can remind you when it is due, so your water always tastes its best.
