Metallic taste, stains laundry and fixtures, can cause gastrointestinal distress in high levels.
How Our Home Reverse Osmosis System Works
Our RO home systems are unique and effective because they involve not one but four filtration steps, from the initial sediment filter to the final post-carbon filter. The result is the cleanest possible drinking water. Here’s how our RO system works.
1. Sediment filter
The sediment filter removes bigger particles like dirt, sand, and rust, which helps protect the system’s main parts from damage.
2. Pre-carbon block
The pre-carbon block helps prevent contaminants from passing through and chemical compounds, such as chlorine and chloramines, that are not removed by reverse osmosis alone.
3. Reverse osmosis membrane
This is where the magic happens. Water is forced through a semipermeable membrane, where tiny pores in the membrane block harmful contaminants and dissolved chemicals while allowing purified water to flow through.
4. Post-carbon filter
The post-carbon filter polishes the water, removing any leftover taste or smell.

Reverse osmosis helps reduce the following water issues:
- Disinfection chemicals (Cl & NH2Cl)
- Disinfection byproducts (THMs & chloroform)
- Organic compounds (VOCs & SOCs)
- Sediment
- Inorganic chemicals, metals, and other high-risk
- Contaminants (lead, copper, arsenic, pharmaceuticals, fluoride, etc.)
Reverse osmosis is a water filtration process that involves four stages of filtration: a sediment filter, pre-carbon block, reverse osmosis membrane, and post-carbon filter. In one of the most critical steps of the process, pressure is applied to push the water through a membrane that can filter heavier molecules, such as sodium, lead, and fluoride.
Yes, a reverse osmosis system can significantly improve the taste and odor of your water by reducing chlorine, lead, copper, and other unpleasant substances. The result is healthier and more pristine drinking and cooking water for your home.
A reverse osmosis system helps filter out unwanted substances from your home’s drinking water, including heavy metals, chemicals like chlorine and high-risk contaminants such as lead, arsenic and PFOS/PFOAs. The result is healthier, cleaner drinking water with a crisper taste. With a dedicated source of drinking water, you’ll also save money and reduce waste by no longer relying on bottled water.
Reverse osmosis can be used in combination with other water filtration systems if you use well water.
Yes. RO water is free from harmful contaminants, and it’s nearly tasteless due to its higher levels of purity and removal of minerals. Most people love it, but there are some who prefer the taste of water with minerals present. If this is you, a remineralization cartridge can be specially ordered and easily added to your system to adjust the taste.
A reverse osmosis system may slightly impact water pressure or flow rate, but Leaf Home Water Solutions RO systems are designed to maintain strong flow for household use.
Water quality varies from home to home, so exactly what you and your family need may be different from your neighbor’s or friend’s home.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and optimal performance. Our Leaf Home Water Solutions installation team will schedule a date and time that works for you, providing free, white-glove installation and ensuring everything is set up and working properly before leaving your home.
After having an RO system installed in your home, our water experts will conduct an annual assessment that includes the following steps:
- Full system inspection
- Sediment filter cartridge
- Carbon filter cartridge(s) replacement
- Remineralization cartridge replacement (if applicable)
- RO system and reservoir tank sanitization
In addition, an RO membrane replacement is typically required every three years.
We highly recommend allowing our water experts to handle things like installing replacement filters or other system maintenance to help ensure optimal performance and longevity of your system. As always, you can reach out to our service and maintenance call center at 1-833-452-2737 to schedule a date and time for a technician to come to your home and conduct annual maintenance and service.
