Most Runyon homeowners searching for a whole house reverse osmosis system want one thing: bottled-water quality at every tap, not just the one under the kitchen sink. Here’s how whole home RO works, where it struggles, and why Reactive Osmosis (RO2) is the way we install it.
What is a whole house reverse osmosis system in Runyon?
A whole house reverse osmosis system treats water where it enters your Runyon home—at the main line—so every fixture is fed purified water: kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, ice maker, and outdoor spigots. That’s the difference between whole home reverse osmosis and a point-of-use RO unit, which purifies a single faucet and leaves the rest of the house on untreated water.
Why traditional whole house RO is hard to live with in Runyon
A true reverse osmosis membrane produces water slowly and under pressure, so a whole house RO system has to bank it: a large pressurized storage tank, a booster pump to refill it, and a brine line that sends a significant share of your incoming water to the drain. In Runyon, where water can vary a lot from municipal supply to private wells, that complexity often isn’t worth it. Run two showers and the dishwasher at once and you can outrun the tank. The equipment footprint, the wasted water and the pump are the three reasons most homeowners abandon the idea.
How Reactive Osmosis (RO2) is different for Runyon homes
Reactive Osmosis reaches reverse osmosis quality water by filtration rather than by pressurized rejection. Multi-stage media—a 5-micron sediment pre-filter, KDF-55 copper-zinc redox alloy and a 0.5-micron carbon block—handle sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, VOCs, taste and odor. A hollow-fiber membrane with pores at or under 0.01 microns then blocks bacteria, cysts, colloids, microplastics and many viruses outright. No storage tank, no booster pump, no brine line, and 15 gallons per minute on demand—ideal for Runyon where water quality can vary between municipal supply and private wells.
Does whole house RO remove fluoride, chlorine and heavy metals in Runyon?
Chlorine, chloramine byproducts, hydrogen sulfide, VOCs, pesticides and dissolved heavy metals such as lead, mercury, nickel and chromium are handled by the KDF-55 and carbon stages. Bacteria, cysts, microplastics, turbidity and fine suspended solids are blocked by the membrane. Dissolved salts and TDS are the honest exception—lowering those takes a true RO membrane, which is the tradeoff you make in exchange for losing the tank, the pump and the brine. In Runyon, that’s especially helpful when your home’s water may come from either municipal supply or a private well.
How much does a whole house reverse osmosis system cost in Runyon?
Whole home reverse osmosis systems commonly run several thousand dollars once the tank, pump, plumbing and labor are counted. Our complete whole-house Reactive Osmosis (RO2) system is $2,995 installed—regularly $5,000, so you save $2,005. That price includes the cartridge housings, manifold, membrane vessel, professional installation, a water test and a system check before we leave—ideal for Runyon homes on city water or private wells.
City water or well water—where we install in Runyon
In Runyon, drinking-water conditions can vary depending on whether your home is on a municipal supply or a private well. On municipal water, the KDF-55 and carbon stages target chlorine, disinfection byproducts, and taste/odor right at the main line. On well water and sediment-prone plumbing, the pre-filter and membrane work together to reduce silt, rust, turbidity, and biological contamination.
