RO Membrane Replacement in Reno, NV

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 Reno, NV 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 Reno, NV.

Talk to a real person
How often should RO filters be changed?
Sediment and carbon prefilters usually need changing every 6 to 12 months. The membrane typically lasts two to four years, and a TDS meter tells you when it is due.
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.
What is the difference between tank and tankless RO systems?
A tank system stores purified water under air pressure and needs no power. A tankless system makes water on demand with a built-in pump, takes less cabinet space and needs an outlet.
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.
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.
