Orange County Reverse Osmosis System
The most
common reason people give for treating tap
water in the United States is “health
concerns”. One of the most common methods of
treating tap water is Reverse Osmosis
filtration. A Reverse Osmosis system uses
sediment filtration, activated carbon
filtration and reverse osmosis filtration to
deliver clean, fresh drinking water to your
home.
Are you aware of the concerns over prescription drugs in your tap water?
“A vast
array of pharmaceuticals — including
antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood
stabilizers and sex hormones — have been
found in the drinking water supplies of at
least 41 million Americans…”
“…drugs have been detected in the drinking
water supplies of 24 major metropolitan
areas — from Southern California to Northern
New Jersey, from Detroit to Louisville, Ky…”
According to the Water Quality Association (WQA)
, a properly installed and maintained
Reverse Osmosis system, like the
AdvantageOne RO System from Splash
Plumbing, provides the highest level of
technology available for the treatment of
drinking water.
What about bottled water? How good is it? It
is a fact that there are no government
standards that require bottled water to be
any better, purer or safer than tap water!
In fact, unless it is being transported
across state lines, there are no federal
regulations that govern its quality!
Some bottled water is good and some is no
better than your tap water. Many bottled
water companies use Reverse Osmosis
technology to purify their water, then they
bottle this water and sell it to you. If you
have a Reverse Osmosis system, like the
AdvantageOne RO System installed in your
home today, you eliminate the middle man.
Why pay as much as $6.00 for a gallon of
water and not know what you’re getting?
And what happens to all those empty bottles?
Some of them probably get recycled, but
let’s face it, most of them do not. With an
AdvantageOne RO System installed in
your home, you won’t ever have to buy
another water bottle, or, you can re-fill
the bottles you have and re-use them. Most
of us would be much more likely to recycle
if it was easier because we had so few items
that needed to be recycled. Get a little
more “green”, spend a lot less green, and
use fewer plastic bottles. Have a Reverse
Osmosis system installed today!
About the System
The AdvantageOne RO System is a five-stage filtration and purification system. The stages are: sediment filtration, 2 stages of carbon filtration, the reverse osmosis filter membrane and a final carbon filtration stage. This system comes complete with a 2.5 gallon storage tank (industry standard), an automatic shut-off device built in, and a chrome RO spigot. (Other spigot colors are available for an additional charge.)
About the Installation
During the
standard installation, it will be necessary
to shut off the cold water under your sink
only. We do not need to shut off water to
your entire house! We will be making a
connection to your cold water supply under
the sink, as well as a connection to your
drain pipe.
Part of the installation is installing the
RO spigot (at left, not actual size). This
will require a hole in your sink top or
countertop large enough to fit the faucet.
At Splash Plumbing, we can drill both
stainless steel sinks and porcelain sinks.
If you have a device that is using one of
the existing holes in your sink that you are
no longer using (such as a soap dispenser),
we can remove this device and use that hole.
(Unfortunately, we cannot drill granite,
marble, soapstone and other materials. This
is why we try to use one of the existing
holes if you have this type of material to
be drilled.)

Some of the extras that are available with the AdvantageOne RO System are…
Faucets in various colors and
finishes
(at left, not all
faucets are available, not actual
size)
These are available to be installed, instead of the standard black & chrome faucet, for an additional charge.
A permeate pump
(at left, not
actual size)
This device needs no electricity and will deliver RO water at higher pressures and make your storage tank hold more water.
Hot water dispenser
(at left,
not actual size)
These units heat the water to approximately 200 degrees and come with a variety of faucets. The faucets are available in various colors and finishes and can dispense hot water only or both hot and room temperature water. If you combine this with an undercounter chiller (see below), a faucet can be installed that will dispense both hot and chilled water!
An undercounter chiller
(at

These units are also available with faucets in various colors and finishes. They can dispense chilled water only, chilled and room temperature or, if combined with the hot water dispenser (see above), chilled and hot water.
Additional storage tanks
(at
left, not actual size)
Your RO system comes with one storage tank, if you feel that you will need extra storage (and you have the room) an additional storage tank can be added for a small charge.
