Alkaline Water Systems in Philadelphia, PA

Most home alkaline water systems are a mineral cartridge added after reverse osmosis. The RO membrane strips out dissolved solids. The alkaline stage, usually a granular media of calcium and magnesium, raises pH to somewhere around 8 to 9.5 depending on contact time.

Bear Water Purification connects Philadelphia, PA homeowners with plumbers who add alkaline stages to existing RO systems or install complete 6 and 7 stage units with the stage built in. The plumber checks flow direction and fitting sizes, since many alkaline cartridges use 1/4 inch quick connects that are easy to fit backward.

Set your expectations honestly. pH reads highest on the first glass after water has sat in the cartridge and lower on long draws. The health claims around alkaline water are thin. Taste is the real reason to want it, and plenty of people prefer it to plain RO water, which can taste flat.

Electric ionizers are a different product with a different install, and they need an outlet.

Call Bear Water Purification at (833) 879-3600 to set up an alkaline water system.

Reverse osmosis FAQs

Questions about reverse osmosis system installation

Questions we hear most often about Alkaline Water Systems in Philadelphia, PA.

Talk to a real person
How much water does a reverse osmosis system waste?
Older under-sink systems send roughly 3 to 4 gallons to drain for every gallon of purified water. Newer high-efficiency units and systems with a permeate pump cut that ratio sharply, some close to 1 to 1.
Does an RO system remove nitrate?
Yes, reverse osmosis reduces nitrate and nitrite, which is why it is common on farm-area wells. Look for an NSF/ANSI 58 certification that lists nitrate, and retest the treated water after install.
Why does my RO water taste bad all of a sudden?
A spent carbon post-filter, a storage tank that needs sanitizing or a worn membrane are the common causes. Filter changes and a tank sanitize clear up most taste complaints.
How do I know if my RO membrane needs replacing?
Compare a TDS reading from the regular tap with one from the RO faucet. If the membrane is removing less than about 80 to 85 percent of dissolved solids, it is time to replace it.
Can reverse osmosis remove arsenic and fluoride?
RO reduces fluoride and the arsenic V form well. Arsenic III, common in some wells, is removed poorly unless the water is oxidized first, so a lab test should come before the purchase.
