Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration in Las Vegas, NV 

Here at Rakeman Plumbing, we sell a variety of water filtration systems. One of our most popular versions is the reverse osmosis filter. But what does this filter do, exactly? And why might you want to consider one for your home or business in Las Vegas, NV? If you’re considering reverse osmosis water filtration services, here’s what you should know.

WHAT IS A REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTER?

For starters, a reverse osmosis filter uses a semipermeable membrane to remove minerals and contaminants from your drinking water.

You may wonder why you would need a filter since the purity of drinking water is so heavily regulated. The truth is that even though your drinking water meets certain federal and state regulations, it’s still not perfect.

A reverse osmosis filter further purifies your water so that you can be confident that the health of your family or employees won’t be affected by trace levels of contaminants.

WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER ONE?

In Las Vegas, water is known for being very hard. What this means is that the water has an unusually high mineral content, particularly calcium and magnesium. This amount is about 18 grains per gallon. Compare that amount to zero to one grains per gallon in soft, filtered water. While this excess of minerals won’t necessarily make you sick, it can negatively impact the taste of your water.

Some of the Minerals and Contaminants this Filter Removes:

  • Lead
  • Asbestos
  • Mercury
  • Cysts
  • Iron
  • Salt
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
