TANKLESS REVERSE
OSMOSIS SYSTEMS

People are installing reverse osmosis (RO) filtration systems more than ever. It’s mainly because RO filtration systems offer the highest level of purification available for home use. RO systems reduce a long list of contaminants like lead, PFAS, nitrates, and even bacteria and parasites. Your water tastes cleaner, and it’s safer to drink. It’s no surprise people are switching!

People are also more aware of what’s in their water thanks to growing concerns about chemical pollution. Reverse osmosis gives you control over your water quality
without relying on bottled water or expensive delivery services.

With modern designs like tankless systems, RO filtration is now more efficient and accessible than ever.

A reverse osmosis system purifies water by forcing it through a semi-permeable membrane with pores only 0.0001 microns in diameter. The membrane blocks contaminants while clean water molecules pass through. Most systems include multiple stages of filtration, starting with sediment and carbon filters that remove
larger particles, chlorine, and bad taste.

The RO membrane filters various contaminants and dissolved solids, such as arsenic and lead. Finally, a post-filter polishes the water for a clean, crisp taste. Some systems also include UV or remineralization stages for added protection or better flavor.

This multi-step process produces water that’s much cleaner than standard tap water. RO systems are considered the most effective option for home use.

Drinking water that’s filtered through a reverse osmosis system offers health and
lifestyle benefits. RO systems remove a wide range of contaminants, including lead, arsenic, PFAS, chlorine, and other substances that affect enjoyment and safety. Plus, without those contaminants, you may avoid the health issues they can cause.

In addition, the high level of filtration that reverse osmosis provides can be reassuring, especially in areas where water quality is inconsistent due to flooding and other problems. Old water mains may also be a concern. Regardless of the issues, RO-filtered water tastes better and improves the flavor
of beverages and meals prepared with it.

Finally, switching to RO means drinking more water for many people. It’s also a better choice than bottled water since it reduces plastic waste and recurring costs. RO systems are low maintenance and provide a reliable, long-term solution for great-tasting water.

Identify your specific water problems. If you’re concerned about lead, chlorine, or PFAS, be sure the system you choose can reduce these contaminants. Brio tankless RO systems, for example, offer advanced multi-stage filtration that covers many water quality issues.

Next, consider the number of people in your household. How much filtered water do you need for drinking, cooking, or making coffee and tea? For most households, this adds up to a few gallons per person per day.      

Now, think about this: tankless systems are great for saving space under the sink. Traditional RO systems with tanks may be better suited to homes with high water use or limited water pressure. How important is space-saving to you?

Also, be sure to examine features like filter life, maintenance, and any options that are important to you. Finally, consider installation. Some systems are DIY-friendly, while others may require professional help.

Choosing the right RO system means balancing performance with convenience and the specific needs of your home.

All reverse osmosis systems create wastewater as part of the filtration process. The RO membrane separates the contaminants from the permeate, or clean water. The RO system then flushes the contaminant-filled water, or brine, down the drain.

In many traditional tank systems, the ratio of pure to waste can be as high as 1 cup of pure water to 5 cups of wastewater. However, newer systems, including Brio
SIMPL and AQUUS, are designed to be much more efficient and waste less water.
