Reverse osmosis: better drinking water at the kitchen tap.

A tankless RO unit under your kitchen sink with its own dedicated faucet. It reduces dissolved solids, then remineralizes so your water tastes clean, not flat.

Think of it as a water-bottle vending machine built into your house, with a second faucet (color-matched to your existing one) just for the water you actually drink and cook with. Your regular faucet still handles the dishes; this one is for drinking, cooking, and washing produce.

Why it matters in Greater Austin

Austin Water, Cedar Park and Round Rock all disinfect with chloramine rather than free chlorine, with reported distribution system averages of 2.3 ppm, 3.09 ppm and 1.99 ppm. Delivered hardness runs from about 93 ppm in Austin to 183 ppm in Cedar Park, and from 184 to 358 ppm across Round Rock in 2024. Reverse osmosis works at the tap, after the whole-home stages, through pre-carbon, an RO membrane, and a remineralizing post-carbon filter, reducing the dissolved solids the carbon stage alone doesn't catch.

What's behind the faceplate

  • A pre-carbon filter (like a large fridge filter).
  • The RO membrane, which is the stage that reduces total dissolved solids.
  • A post-carbon filter with built-in alkaline remineralization, so the water isn't stripped flat.
On TDS: the membrane reduces dissolved solids broadly, and the remineralizing filter then adds calcium and magnesium back for taste. So a TDS reading taken after remineralization is expected to be higher than one taken at the membrane, and that is not a fault.

Tankless, and it shows

The tankless unit is about the size of a game console, takes up almost no under-sink space, and looks clean. It's included in most flagship bundles because the plumbing work is already open while we install your whole-home system.
