Reverse Osmosis System Explained | EDS Pumps & Water Treatment

What Does a Reverse Osmosis System Remove?

Reverse osmosis pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that filters out dissolved substances. EDS reverse osmosis systems remove up to 99% of dissolved solids, sodium and many other contaminants, depending on the system and your incoming water.

RO systems can reduce:

  • Dissolved solids and sodium: Many dissolved salts and minerals.
  • Heavy metals: Including lead and arsenic.
  • Certain chemical contaminants: Including specific PFAS and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
  • Microplastics: Tiny plastic particles that can get into water from packaging and the environment.
  • Unwanted tastes and odours: Pre- and post-filters can help improve drinking water taste and smell.

Performance varies by system and contaminant. Check the system’s specifications and test your water to find out which treatment you need. If there’s bacteria in your water, don’t rely on RO alone to disinfect it. You may need a UV system as part of your treatment setup.

For a more detailed explanation, read our guide to how reverse osmosis works.

Signs You Could Benefit from Reverse Osmosis

An RO system may be worth considering if:

  • Your drinking water tastes or smells off. RO and its pre- and post-filters can help improve taste and odour.
  • You rely on well water. Testing can identify dissolved substances that may need treatment.
  • You’re concerned about specific contaminants. RO can reduce many dissolved substances, depending on the system.
  • You want to reduce bottled water use. An RO system provides treated drinking water at home.
  • You need water for specific uses. Certain systems can be configured for applications such as coffee preparation.

Reverse Osmosis for Well Water in the Fraser Valley

Private wells across Langley, Aldergrove, Abbotsford and Mission can contain iron, manganese, hardness minerals, sulphur, tannins and bacteria.

These can affect how well an RO system works. Excessive sediment, iron and hardness can contribute to membrane fouling or scale buildup, so some properties need pre-treatment before installing reverse osmosis. Depending on your test results, this could include a sediment filter, water softener or iron filter.  If your water has bacteria, you may also need a disinfection system.

EDS tests your water and recommends a treatment setup based on your well and property requirements.

Reverse Osmosis vs. Water Filtration: What's the Difference?

Standard water filtration and reverse osmosis treat different water quality issues.

Sediment filters remove particles, while carbon filters reduce chlorine and certain compounds that affect taste and smell. Whole-house filtration treats water as it enters your property.

Reverse osmosis pushes water through a membrane to reduce many dissolved substances and is commonly installed at a single drinking water tap. Depending on your water test results, you may benefit from an RO system, whole-house filtration or a combination of treatments.

EDS can assess your water and help you choose equipment that addresses the issues you actually have.

Reverse Osmosis FAQs

The cost depends on the system, number of filtration stages, plumbing requirements and any additional treatment your water needs. Options such as remineralization, a permeate pump or leak protection can also affect the total cost. Properties using well water may need pre-treatment to protect the RO membrane.

EDS can assess your requirements and provide a quote. Water testing options include a $69 chemical test, a $167 full test and a $309 certified potability test.

Reverse osmosis removes many dissolved substances, including some minerals. A remineralization stage can add selected minerals back into the treated water and adjust its taste. RO systems also send some water to the drain during treatment, although the amount varies by system.

RO systems send some water to the drain as they separate dissolved substances from treated water. The amount depends on system design, water pressure and operating conditions. Modern high-efficiency systems can use up to 75% less water than older models. A permeate pump can also help reduce wastewater.

Not every property needs both. A water softener reduces hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium throughout the treated supply, while reverse osmosis reduces many dissolved substances at a drinking water tap.

If your well water is hard, a softener may help prevent scale buildup and protect the RO membrane. Water testing can help determine whether you need a softener, reverse osmosis or both.

Replacement intervals depend on your system, water quality and usage. As a general guide, sediment pre-filters may need replacing every 3 to 6 months, carbon filters every 6 to 12 months, and RO membranes every 2 to 3 years. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and have your system checked if performance changes.

Reduced water production, changes in taste and unusual TDS readings can indicate that your system needs attention. Clogged pre-filters, low water pressure and storage tank problems can cause similar symptoms, so an inspection can help identify whether the membrane needs replacing.

Yes. EDS services reverse osmosis systems from all major brands, including equipment installed by other providers. We can assess your system and recommend the necessary maintenance or repairs.
