Reverse Osmosis (R.O.)
	Home → Water Solutions → Reverse Osmosis

The REVERSE OSMOSIS Process...Your Raw Water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane which rinses contaminants to the drain. High quality, filtered drinking water is produced and conveniently stored in a sealed tank. The lead-free faucet easily delivers an abundant supply of clear, clean, and fresh drinking water to you and your family. There are many different types of R.O. units, chillers, and additional accessories available to Residential, Rural and Commercial customers. Learn more about BRM Reverse Osmosis products.

Reverse Osmosis Benefits

Reverse osmosis is used to purify water and remove salts and odour impurities in order to improve the color, taste or properties of the fluid. The key benefits behind reverse osmosis include:

• Delicious, sparkling-clear, odor free drinking water.
• Cost effective. The daily cost of bottled water will no longer be a concern, nor will the need to lift heavy water cooler jugs.
• Environmentally sound water treatment methods and no plastic containers adding to land-fill waste.
• Convenient. Fresh, clean water, ready at your tap.

Servicing Your R.O.

Our Service Centre will call you to remind you when your service is due annually or sooner if required. We have certified Service Technicians who will provide the following specialized service at affordable rates:

• Test your RO water for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to ensure your membrane is working to the highest standard and replace it only if necessary.
• Pressurize your holding tank to ensure you are getting the optimum pressure and quantity possible.
• Sanitize inside your complete RO unit including your tank, lines and tap to ensure your system is bacteria free. (Recommended by the Alberta Health Board)
• Replace all filters required to ensure your RO continues to produce high quality drinking water.
