Clearer, Cleaner Water at Home: Why Reverse Osmosis is a Game Changer 

Featuring RO Systems from Excalibur Water Systems, proudly available at R&D Plumbing & Heating 

When it comes to the water you and your family drink every day, peace of mind matters. Many homeowners across Alberta and Saskatchewan rely on municipal or well water - but even treated sources can contain impurities that affect taste, smell, and safety. That’s where Reverse Osmosis (RO) comes in. 

At R&D Plumbing & Heating, we carry and install Canadian-made Excalibur Water Systems, one of the most trusted names in water treatment. Here’s why RO systems are quickly becoming a must-have for health-conscious homeowners and how we can help you make the switch. 

 

What is Reverse Osmosis? 

Reverse Osmosis is a water purification process that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove contaminants, including: 

  • Chlorine and chloramines 

  • Lead and other heavy metals 

  • Fluoride 

  • Bacteria and viruses 

  • Pesticides, nitrates, and other dissolved solids 

The result? Pure, great-tasting water straight from your tap. An RO system typically includes multiple stages of filtration, including a carbon pre-filter, the RO membrane, and a post-filter for polishing the water before it reaches your glass. 

 

Why Choose an RO System for Your Home? 

✅ Health & Safety 

An RO system provides a deeper level of filtration than standard carbon filters, removing even microscopic contaminants that can slip through other systems. This is especially important in rural areas or homes using private wells, where water quality can fluctuate. 

✅ Better Tasting Water 

Impurities like chlorine and sulphur can give water an off-putting taste or odour. RO water tastes clean and refreshing—perfect for drinking, cooking, coffee, and even pet bowls. 

✅ Lower Environmental Impact 

Instead of relying on bottled water (which is expensive and wasteful), you can produce your own purified drinking water at home. Over time, an RO system can help reduce your carbon footprint and save hundreds of dollars annually. 

✅ Appliance Protection 

RO-treated water can extend the life of appliances like coffee makers, kettles, and humidifiers by reducing mineral build-up and scale.
