Reverse Osmosis in Boiling Springs, SC
Good service is worth sharing.
There is a certain quality to clean, good-tasting water that you notice in the course of an ordinary day.
It is there when you put the kettle on for coffee, top off a bottle before heading to work, or pack some for an afternoon over at Va-Du-Mar McMillan Park.
In a family-oriented Upstate town like Boiling Springs, where residents take pride in their homes, the water from the kitchen tap is no exception.
How a Reverse Osmosis System Works
At Pro-Flo Plumbing we install reverse osmosis systems that are right for your home and how your family goes about using water.
- The process is straightforward.
- Most of our residential setups first run the tap water through a sediment filter and activated carbon to filter out particles, chlorine, and odors.
What is left is then forced through a fine membrane to cut down on dissolved substances. You end up with purified water of a crisp, clean flavor at a dedicated faucet or your refrigerator line, and no need to make a trip to the store for jugs.
Water Quality in Boiling Springs and the Upstate
The city gets its water from Spartanburg Water, sourced from Lake Bowen, Municipal Reservoir #1 and Lake Blalock. While the utility will tell you it meets state standards, with fluoride added and chlorine for disinfection, many homeowners want to do more at the sink to get rid of the chlorine taste and smell. For those on well water, the water problems can be quite different: iron, hardness, sediment, or even arsenic. A water test is the sensible way to start, and we will be plain-spoken about what the numbers mean.
Local Rules That Affect Water Treatment
Then there is the matter of code. South Carolina has backflow protection requirements for public water, and the local utility has been running a cross-connection control program since the early 1980s. Any new equipment has to be plumbed so nothing can flow back into the supply, and a reverse osmosis unit calls for an air gap or approved drain for its waste water. That is why a licensed plumber should handle the installation.
Reverse Osmosis Systems for Spartanburg County Homes
- Under-sink RO system: the most popular choice, with a dedicated faucet for drinking and cooking.
- Whole-home treatment: a softener or filter at the main line to protect fixtures, water heaters, and appliances, often paired with RO at the kitchen sink.
- Refrigerator and ice maker connection: purified water for every glass and every cube.
- Well water solutions: pre-filtration and softening to protect the membrane and improve results.
What Installation Looks Like
We will come by and assess your water usage and the space under the sink before we get to work mounting the tank, filters, and faucet. After we make all the connections and check for pressure and leaks, we walk you through when to change out the membrane and filters. If you do not want to keep track of it, we can put a maintenance schedule in place for you.
