Kinetico Reverse Osmosis System

The Most Important 1% of Your Water

Representing only 1% of your total water bill, drinking water is probably the most important 1%. From reverse osmosis systems to carbon filtration, we provide the leading drinking water purification systems on the market today. We encourage you to look for third-party testing and look at the datasheets as you shop for drinking water systems. The longer the list, the longer the membrane life, the larger the carbon surface area, and the less you’ll have to worry about these common problems in your drinking water:

Bad Odor   |   Foul Taste   |   Organic Compounds   |   Chlorine 
Arsenic   |   Heavy Metals   |   Fluoride

What is Reverse Osmosis System?

No matter where you live in Wisconsin, by the time water reaches your home, it will have been through countless pipes and exposed to who-knows-what along the way. So good science is needed to take H2O back to something resembling its pure natural state.

Reverse osmosis is a process by which water is put through semi-permeable membranes that keep the impurities back and allow the good water through. A Kinetico reverse osmosis system provides beautiful pure water throughout, yes, the whole house. That is obviously a good thing, and like many good things, you don’t have to really understand the terminology to appreciate it and benefit from it.

We at Water Doctors have been installing Kinetico whole house water filtration system since 1982 and we use Kinetico products because they are the best. We can install an array of Kinetico water softeners including the Kinetico Signature Series, Kinetico Premier Series as well as the Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station®. So, forget the jargon and leave the technical side to us. You don’t have to think about what Kinetico reverse osmosis is or even what it does; just let us provide you with clean soft water and enjoy it. Read More

Do I Need a Kinetico Whole House Reverse Osmosis System?

You may have gotten used to the water in your house, so you don’t notice its imperfections anymore. But consider this: water is supposed to be completely neutral: no smell, no taste. It’s just wet and you can drink it and it does you good because hydration is essential for health. Maybe you drink bottled water, but really, in a civilized country in this day and age, that’s just an unnecessary expense.

Now, pour yourself a glass from the faucet: roll it around the glass and sniff. Any odor there? Take a sip and get your taste buds on the case. Anything to report? If so, you need to let us sort it out for you.

Kinetico whole house reverse osmosis systems are ideal for customers who do not want any residue left on their appliances and products etc. A POU reverse osmosis system is also another more affordable option. Give our team a call and together we’ll determine which option is best for your home and needs.

What is a Kinetico Reverse Osmosis Filter?

Reverse osmosis is not a sexy phrase, but that’s terminology for you. RO, as it’s called, is a brilliant way of purifying water, and with a Kinetico drinking water filter, you can take your water to a whole new level of purity.

Reverse osmosis forces water through a membrane that allows the liquid through but blocks any undesirable particles, so although the water may look the same, you’ve got rid of impurities invisible to the naked eye. The result is drinking water so clean and neutral that you will never have to buy bottled water again. Discerning cooks will notice the difference in the food they have boiled or poached. A Kinetico reverse osmosis drinking water system is like the icing on the cake as regards water, elevating it back to the standard of the mountain streams our ancestors enjoyed.

Why Kinetico Drinking Water Filters?

We have been using Kinetico products since the very beginning because when we set up our business, we looked for the best quality we could find. It turned out to be Kinetico, and although we still keep an open mind and are constantly reassessing, Kinetico is still the best.

How Can I Get the Process Started?

Simple. Contact us – your local water filtration company – online or by phone and tell us your issue. We’ll come to your home and test the water. Whatever the problem is, we can solve it for you. We won’t try to blind you with science, although a few of those scientific words may come up. We’ll tell you what can be done and recommend the right Kinetico water softener system for your needs. So get in touch today and get yourself the best water possible.

Different Drinking Water System Choices

The choice of a drinking water system is probably the most important in designing a water treatment system. From the amount of contaminants your system removes to a lower total cost of ownership, Water Doctors offers both whole-house reverse osmsis filtration and activated carbon solutions to improve your drinking water quality.

Reverse Osmosis vs. Carbon Filtration​

Reverse Osmosis / Carbon Combination
Reverse osmosis is a membrane-based system. The membrane has very tiny pores and works by blocking anything larger than a water molecule from getting through. The system is only as effective as the membrane. So, a lower grade membrane will produce lower-quality water and need frequent replacement. This drives up the total cost of ownership.

Third-parties measure reverse osmosis quality and compile results into datasheets listing contaminants removed. The better the system, the longer the datasheet. You might find lower-end systems tested to remove 50-80% of what is in the water. Our Kinetico K5 Drinking Station has one of the longest datasheets in the industry.

Carbon Block or Activated Carbon Only
Carbon covers a wide range of filters. The lower end, typically a loose, granulated carbon, includes most of the pitcher-types and refrigerator filters. Higher grade filters feature a denser block of carbon and are more effective than granulated carbon. The Always Fresh filters that we carry are a dense carbon block, affording high levels of chlorine reduction. The density increases the contact time water has with the filter, removing more volatile organic chemicals like herbicides and pesticides.

The Always Fresh filter also has a silver-based substance that curbs microbial growth. While the main benefit to using carbon is its incredible surface area, that’s also a lot of nooks and crannies for bacteria to grow in. Silver-impregnated filters help curb that growth, making carbon filters like the Always Fresh a healthier choice for your home.
