Reverse Osmosis System Installation in San Diego

Protect your health and improve water quality with expert RO system installation.

What Is a Reverse Osmosis System?

A reverse osmosis (RO) system is a powerful water filtration solution designed to remove impurities from your drinking water using a semi-permeable membrane. The system works by applying pressure to force tap water through a multi-stage filtration process, leaving behind contaminants like lead, chlorine, fluoride, arsenic, bacteria, and even microplastics.

 

The result? Cleaner, better-tasting water right from your kitchen sink.

 

Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective filtration methods available, making it a top choice for San Diego homeowners who want peace of mind about what’s in their water. Whether you’re concerned about hard water, strange tastes, or local water quality reports, a reverse osmosis system provides a reliable line of defense.

Trust LGE Prime Plumbing to install your reverse osmosis system the right way—clean, fast, and professionally. Whether it’s under-the-sink or connected to your fridge, we’ll make sure you get crystal-clear water you can count on.

Who Needs a Reverse Osmosis System?

If you’re concerned about what’s in your drinking water, a reverse osmosis (RO) system is one of the most effective solutions available. RO systems are ideal for:

 

  • Homeowners in San Diego who want added protection from contaminants commonly found in local water, such as chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, and dissolved solids.

  • Families with young children or elderly individuals who may be more sensitive to pollutants in tap water.

  • Health-conscious individuals who want cleaner water for drinking, cooking, coffee, tea, and even pet bowls.

  • People on well water or with questionable municipal supply looking for an added layer of purification.

  • Renters or those living in smaller homes—especially with under-the-sink or tankless RO options that don’t require whole-home systems.

 

Even if your tap water meets local safety standards, reverse osmosis can remove additional impurities for peace of mind, better taste, and improved water quality across your household.

Reverse Osmosis Installation Process

At LGE Prime Plumbing, we make reverse osmosis installation simple, clean, and tailored to your home.

  1. In-Home Assessment

    We start with a quick evaluation of your water quality and plumbing layout. This helps us determine the right RO system type (under-sink, tankless, or hybrid) and the best placement for your filter and faucet.

  2. System Preparation

    We shut off the water supply and prepare your sink area or chosen installation location. If you’re replacing an existing unit, we’ll safely disconnect and dispose of the old one.

  3. Mounting & Connections

    We install the filtration system and make secure connections to your cold water line and drain. If you’re using a tankless or hybrid system, we ensure proper setup for power and any additional components like UV or remineralization cartridges.

  4. Dedicated Faucet Installation

    A sleek RO faucet is mounted near your sink, giving you a convenient, direct line to clean drinking water.

     

  5. System Testing & Cleanup

    We check for leaks, flush the system, and ensure everything is functioning correctly. You’ll also receive instructions on filter maintenance and replacement schedules.
