REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTERS AND MAINTENANCE COSTS

​

When choosing a reverse osmosis system you will have to decide on a system that contains the industry standard 10" twist off filter housings or a system with encapsulated filters and in most cases are proprietary. Either way the water filtration quality is the same. The differences in the filters will be how long they last and the replacement costs. Most systems sold through home improvement stores, or big box stores have encapsulated filters. Most of them have a 6 month life expectancy and they charge anywhere from $15.00 to $65.00 or more for each filter. The average yearly filter costs alone for these systems is $210.00 and in most cases is more than the original system cost. This is how they make their money.

​

We always recommend the Industry Standard 10" housing systems as these filters are readily available virtually anywhere and the entire set of filters cost around $25.00. This includes  highly rated filters that only need to be replaced once a year.

​

We do offer systems with encapsulated filters for customers that like the sleek compact design and the convenience of the filter change process. We have chosen systems that have high quality filters that only require yearly filter changes and that have reasonable filter replacement costs.

​

Unlike the big box store systems our membranes last 2 to 4 times longer and are a fraction of the costs. The standard starts at $35.00 and the high efficient at $65.00.
