Clean drinking water is important for every home. Unfortunately, many water supplies contain contaminants that can affect taste, odor, and overall water quality. A reverse osmosis water filtration system is one of the most effective ways to improve your drinking water.
At NMP Water Systems, we install, maintain, and repair high-quality reverse osmosis systems throughout New Jersey. Whether you want better-tasting water, fewer contaminants, or a complete drinking water filtration system, our team can help you find the best solution.
We also help customers reduce harmful PFAS in water. New Jersey has some of the strictest drinking water standards for PFAS in the country. We provide our clients with some of the most effective treatment systems available to help remove these contaminants from tap water.
We offer premium, American-made products and back our equipment and workmanship with a ten-year warranty. Contact us today to schedule a free water test and evaluation.
What Is Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration?
Reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration is a multi-stage treatment process that uses a specialized membrane to reduce contaminants in water. Water flows through several filters and then is pushed through the membrane under pressure, leaving many unwanted substances behind.
Our top-quality systems are designed to meet NJ’s strict PFAS MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) standards. Many PFAS are effectively removed by RO systems.
A reverse osmosis system can also help reduce:
- Chlorine
- Lead
- Arsenic
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Trihalomethanes (THMs)
- Sediment
- Certain bacteria
- Dissolved solids that affect taste and odor
The result is cleaner, better-tasting water for drinking, cooking, coffee makers, ice makers, and more.
How Does a Reverse Osmosis System Work?
Most reverse osmosis systems use multiple stages of filtration to improve water quality. NMP Water Systems installs advanced 5-stage systems that typically include:
- Sediment filtration
- Carbon filtration
- Reverse osmosis membrane filtration
- Additional polishing filtration
- Final treatment stage before dispensing
Water is filtered through each stage before being stored in a tank for use whenever you need it. Our systems provide a steady supply of purified drinking water directly from a dedicated faucet installed in your home.
Reverse Osmosis Maintenance
Like any treatment system, regular maintenance is important for performance and longevity. Routine maintenance helps:
- Maintain water quality
- Protect system components
- Improve efficiency
- Extend system lifespan
- Prevent unexpected issues
Our technicians inspect system performance and recommend service based on your water usage and system condition.
Reverse Osmosis Filter Replacement
Filters play an important role in RO system performance. Over time, sediment and carbon pre-filters become less effective and need replacement. Professional filter changes from NMP Water Systems help ensure:
- Proper filtration
- Consistent water quality
- Improved flow rates
- Protection for the RO membrane
Our team can help determine the proper replacement schedule for your specific system.

Reverse Osmosis FAQs
-
What does a reverse osmosis water filtration system remove?
RO systems are designed to reduce many dissolved solids and impurities. This can include heavy metals, chemicals, some bacteria, taste/odor issues, and other contaminants. Performance depends on your water chemistry, system design, and maintenance.
-
How does reverse osmosis compare to other household water filters?
Pitcher and faucet filters typically focus on chlorine taste/odor and some contaminants, while RO can reduce a broader range of dissolved contaminants. RO systems are more comprehensive, but they require installation, a storage tank, and periodic service.
-
Is reverse osmosis water safe to drink?
Yes, properly installed and maintained RO systems produce water that is safe for everyday drinking and cooking. If you have specific health concerns or a private well, you should schedule a water test to understand your water chemistry. RO is effective at filtering many contaminants, but may not remove all harmful impurities. For example, some homeowners have a UV water treatment system installed before their RO unit for chemical-free disinfection.
-
What is the difference between reverse osmosis and distilled water?
Distillation boils water and captures the steam, leaving many impurities behind. Reverse osmosis uses a membrane (plus pre- and post-filtration) to reduce contaminants without boiling. Both can produce very clean drinking water, but they work differently and have different operating costs and convenience.
-
Does a reverse osmosis drinking water system require maintenance?
Yes. Regular maintenance keeps water quality consistent, protects the RO membrane, and helps prevent leaks or performance issues. NMP Water Systems can set a service schedule based on your usage and water conditions.
-
How often is reverse osmosis filter replacement needed?
Many homes replace pre- and post-filters about every 6 to 12 months, depending on water quality and usage. The RO membrane is often replaced less frequently, usually every 3 to 5 years. However, the right timing depends on system performance and your water quality.
-
How long does a reverse osmosis system last?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, many RO systems can last for many years. Longevity depends on water quality, usage, and keeping up with filter and membrane replacements.
-
Is a reverse osmosis system for home use worth it?
For many homeowners, yes, especially if you want better-tasting water. RO is a great investment if your drinking water contains various contaminants and you want to rely less on bottled water. It can also provide convenient filtered water for cooking, coffee, and ice.
-
Can a reverse osmosis system connect to a refrigerator or ice maker?
Yes, RO systems can be configured to supply a refrigerator dispenser and ice maker. They can also be routed to dedicated appliances like coffee makers or steam ovens, depending on your home’s layout.
-
What is the difference between standard and alkaline reverse osmosis systems?
A standard RO system focuses on contaminant reduction and taste improvement. An alkaline system includes an additional stage that can increase the water’s pH after filtration. This stage involves remineralization, adding back select minerals for a different taste profile.
