Pre-Treatment: What Is Needed For RO Success
A reverse osmosis system can clean up a mud puddle. However, the question becomes... for how long? With proper pre-treatment, a reverse osmosis system will give you years of reliable performance and outstanding water quality.
For Homes With a Private Well
No two wells produce the same water. The chemistry can vary dramatically—from iron, manganese, and sulfur to bacteria, nitrates, and PFAS. That’s why US Water Systems follows the principle: measure twice, cut once. Before recommending a Defender™ system—or any solution—we strongly advise starting with a laboratory-grade water analysis. It’s the most responsible first step toward solving water quality issues the right way.
A Smart First Step—At No Risk to You
The cost of the Waterlogix™ test kit is fully credited toward any recommended system purchase. That means your lab-grade water analysis is essentially free when you’re ready to move forward—ensuring our solution is right the first time and allowing us to stand behind its performance with confidence.
For Homes That Pay A Water Bill
Water from a municipal source has 3 primary and predictable waterborne contaminants that would be addressed prior to entering your RO system. These contaminants are sediment, chemicals such as chlorine, and limescale.

Behind the Scenes: Membranes

Purification
Network RO Membrane Purified
Water
Pre-treated water is pumped into the RO membrane at about 150 PSI
As the water moves through the wound passages in the membrane, it’s separated into two streams: Permeate = Good Water Concentrate = Waste Water
The treated water (Permeate) then flows out of the membrane through the collection tube and into the storage tank
A portion of the wastewater (Concentrate) can be recycled back to the input to improve recovery, and the small portion remaining flows harmlessly down the drain
US Water Systems’ Waterlogix ™ 4 x 40" High-Efficiency Membranes allow for industry-leading water recovery and total dissolved solids reduction

System Installation Requirements
Minimum Requirements
Water Quality
City Water: Hardness treatment, chemical removal, and sediment filtration must be used for pre-treatment.
Well Water: Requires laboratory water testing and analysis for recommendation with a performance guarantee. This is the only way to ensure proper system performance.
Water Flow and Pressure
The typical system requires a minimum volume and pressure to for nominal and efficient operation of at least 10 Gallons Per Minute @ 40 PSI. Give us a call to find out how to test this.
Drainage
Two (2) 1/2" air-gapped drain connections capable of handling at least 3 Gallons Per Minute. This can be a riser drain or a floor drain.
Power
You will require one (1) 220v connection on a 20A circuit. You will also require two (2) 110V connections on a 20 A circuit. Please contact a certified electrician to confirm your application supports this.
Footprint
The minimum requirement for door openings is 29" wide. It is recommended to ensure you have a open area at least 72" width and 30" depth with access to front and sides.
Plumbing Material
RO water can be aggressive to soft metals like brass and copper, while plastic plumbing materials are unaffected. If you have soft metal plumbing, pH adjustment is usually required to protect the infrastructure and balance the alkalinity.
