RO Membrane Replacement in Philadelphia, PA

The membrane does the real work in a reverse osmosis system, and it wears out quietly. Water still comes out of the faucet. It just carries more of what you were trying to remove.

A TDS meter tells the story. A healthy membrane rejects roughly 90 to 98 percent of dissolved solids. If your tap reads 400 ppm and the RO faucet reads 60, rejection has dropped to 85 percent and the membrane is due.

Bear Water Purification connects Philadelphia, PA homeowners with plumbers who replace membranes in standard 1812, 2012 and 3012 housings, plus the proprietary cartridges used by brands like APEC, iSpring and Express Water. The housing O-ring gets inspected and greased with food-grade silicone, and the first two tanks get dumped to flush out the preservative.

Membrane life depends on what reaches it. Hard water scales it. Chlorine attacks thin-film composite membranes, which is why a spent carbon prefilter shortens membrane life so fast. On city water, most last two to four years.

Call (833) 879-3600 to schedule an RO membrane replacement.

Reverse osmosis FAQs

Questions about reverse osmosis system installation

Questions we hear most often about RO Membrane Replacement in Philadelphia, PA.

Talk to a real person
How much does reverse osmosis system installation cost in Philadelphia, PA?
It depends on the system, the countertop material and whether a booster or permeate pump is needed. A standard under-sink install is the simplest job, while whole house and commercial systems are priced after a water test. Call (833) 879-3600 to get a quote for your home.
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.
Why is the water from my RO faucet so slow?
The usual causes are a tank that has lost its air charge, clogged prefilters or low feed pressure. A plumber checks tank pressure first, which should be 7 to 8 psi when empty.
Does a reverse osmosis system need electricity?
A standard tank system does not, and neither does a permeate pump. Tankless units, booster pumps and UV stages do need an outlet under the sink.
Do I need UV with my reverse osmosis system?
On treated city water, usually not. On a private well, a cistern or after a positive bacteria test, a UV stage adds protection that RO alone does not give.
