Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration for Twin Cities Homes

Reverse osmosis (RO) is one of the most trusted methods for purifying household drinking water. It removes contaminants that other filters can miss — including dissolved solids, heavy metals like lead, nitrates, and even some bacteria — providing your family with crisp, clean water straight from the tap.

Why Choose Reverse Osmosis?

In the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, water is often treated with chlorine and can contain naturally occurring minerals and impurities. Over time, these can affect the taste, clarity, and safety of your drinking water. A reverse osmosis system works by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane that traps contaminants while letting pure water pass through.

Key benefits:

  • Removes up to 99% of common impurities.
  • Improves taste and odor.
  • Reduces the need for bottled water.

How It Works

An RO system typically includes several stages:

  1. Pre-Filtration: Removes sediment and chlorine that can damage the RO membrane.
  2. Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Filters out dissolved solids and microscopic contaminants.
  3. Post-Filtration: Polishes the water for great taste.
  4. Storage Tank: Holds purified water, ready when you need it.

At Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, we install high-quality Brita PRO reverse osmosis systems as part of a whole-home water treatment plan or as a stand-alone drinking water solution.
