How Much Does Reverse Osmosis Installation Usually Cost in Fort Worth?

Installation for reverse osmosis systems can be pretty affordable around Fort Worth. That having been said, there’s a pretty wide range of costs for RO system installation based on a couple of different factors that could have a significant effect on the price. Simple systems may be quick and only run a couple of hundred dollars, but more complex systems can easily approach five figures.

Cost Factor: Size of System

The size and scope of the reverse osmosis system you are interested in can undoubtedly significantly affect your system’s installation cost. In many homes, RO systems are installed as point-of-use units on the countertop or under the sink. These simple systems can ensure that you have one faucet that provides purified drinking water and are often simple, quick, and very affordable installation jobs.

If you want more than one fixture for your reverse osmosis system, the cost may increase accordingly. Multiple point-of-use systems could scale the material and labor cost for each unit you need to be incorporated into your home.

Some homeowners here in Fort Worth may want all the water in their house to be purified. In this case, point-of-entry systems are available that are larger-capacity reverse osmosis systems. They will run all your water through purification as it enters your home so that your entire home only has purified water running through the plumbing. These systems can be large undertakings and can be costly to install. It should also be noted that using purified water for non-drinking use isn’t very efficient, and a whole-home system will also increase your water usage.

Cost Factor: Your Water Usage and Desired Efficiency

How much you use your water will affect the cost in a few ways–in terms of installation and increased costs over time on your water bill. Reverse osmosis systems use several stages of filtration and purification to separate contaminants from drinking water. At each stage, removed material is ejected into your wastewater. Each step always loses a little bit of water down the drain, which will increase your water usage.

There are a lot of reverse osmosis systems out there, and not all are created equal. Some reverse osmosis models could increase your water usage by as much as four times. While this isn’t entirely consequential, if it’s a tap you occasionally get a glass of cold water out of, wash your hands, do dishes, or use it to clean, the amount of water wasted can quickly add up. There are much more efficient RO systems out there, but more sophisticated and efficient systems can increase the cost over simpler ones.

You may wind up weighing how much you can handle your water bill increasing versus how efficient a reverse osmosis system you want to install. Still, one way or the other, the efficiency of your system will affect your costs over the long run.

Cost Factor: Extras and Features

Depending on your specific needs, there are a lot of extra features that you could get in a reverse osmosis system. Some systems add additional layers of treatment to ensure that faucets don’t introduce any bacterial contamination. Some models even add minerals back into the water to improve taste and balance pH to ideal levels. Many systems employ pumps to boost your water pressure and the system’s efficiency.

Whatever drinking water needs you may have, there are a lot of options to accommodate them. Any extra features are likely to increase costs, though, if only incrementally.

What Are the Most Common Water Contaminants in Fort Worth?

The water here in Fort Worth has many of the same common contaminants that other places in Texas do. Our source water is hard, so there’s always an abundance of trace minerals in our water, and occasionally we’ll run into bacterial contamination from wastewater issues. Our water treatment plant handles those issues well and does deliver safe drinking water that meets regulations year after year.

Some contaminants are exceptionally high in Fort Worth water every year on our annual water report, though. Cyanide levels are especially highly concentrated in our water, with the top range nearing 160 PPB. 200 PPB is the EPA’s limit for safety, but skating just below the line isn’t good when it comes to cyanide. The cyanide in our water mainly comes from pollution caused by decaying plastics and fertilizers. In large enough amounts, cyanide is fatal to humans. Fort Worth’s water isn’t toxic, but it would still be a great deal better without such a large cyanide concentration.

Our water also shows repeated high levels of bromate and haloacetic acids. These chemicals are introduced through the chlorine disinfectant process in the water treatment plant but are never entirely removed before reaching our drinking water. Though they test within safe limits, they’re both nearly 2/3 of the way to where they need to be for the EPA to consider our drinking water non-potable.

We have lots of other contaminants that seep into our drinking water. Our treatment plants keep our water safe, but they can’t possibly achieve the level of purification at that volume that it can quickly get within your home with a reverse osmosis system.

Can Residents in Fort Worth Benefit From Reverse Osmosis Treatment?

People here in Fort Worth can benefit from reverse osmosis treatment for their drinking water. The City of Fort Worth and the Texas Water Development Board do a great job of ensuring that our water keeps flowing and meets minimum safety guidelines. Our water is better than many places, but the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has classified our source waters as high risk for many contaminants, and sometimes just meeting the guidelines isn’t enough for you.

Our water meets EPA and the State of Texas regulations for drinking water quality but still contains trace levels of harmful chemicals like arsenic, lead, and cyanide. While these chemicals are within the safe limits set by these regulatory agencies, it goes without saying that any arsenic or cyanide going into your body is not great. Reverse osmosis delivers perfect, pristine drinking water to you without these trace contaminants, straight from your faucet.

Our community does excellent at treating and purifying our water, but some things just can’t be combated in large treatment plants. Much of the minor trace minerals in water slip by the methods employed by water treatment plants, and many other contaminants may be introduced between treatment and your tap.

Lead in tap water can create a considerable health hazard, but often it’s introduced from your plumbing rather than from the source water before the treatment plant. As plumbing corrodes over time, protective coatings can begin to wear away. As they do, corroding pipes may contaminate your water with rust and lead particles. Even a little lead in your drinking water can be detrimental for everyone in your home’s health, and reverse osmosis can verify right at the point where you get your water that it is entirely pure.

How Often Should Residents in Fort Worth Replace Reverse Osmosis Prefilters?

Typically, it’s recommended that you change your prefilter at least every year and more frequently if your water use is above average. With our water’s hardness level here, your filter will likely get used up faster than in a typical example. We always try to recommend to folks around here to check their prefilter twice a year. If not, change it that often.

Do You Need a Water Softener With Your Reverse Osmosis System in Fort Worth?

You don’t necessarily need a water softening system with your reverse osmosis system here in Fort Worth, but we’d certainly recommend it. Our water around here is pretty hard at around 150 ppm total hardness. That means that tiny particles of rock in your water will build up in any plumbing over time, which could lead to damage and obstructions throughout all of your plumbing systems, which includes your reverse osmosis system.

Your reverse osmosis system will soften the water it treats. Trace minerals will be removed just like any other contaminant, but our extremely hard water can put a lot of unnecessary stress on your reverse osmosis system over time. In your RO system, your prefilter first separates anything it catches in its 5-micron filter from the water. This filter will catch the most significant mineral sediment, but it will clog up your prefilter much faster than it would get with softer water. Even past your filter, the smallest of mineral particles can get through to your purification system. Your purifier will remove them from drinking water along with any other contaminants that have slipped through. Still, just like the faucets and fixtures in your house, hard water will build up gritty scale over time within your system, which could eventually lead to malfunctions or failure.

Hard water is a problem all around. In areas with softer water, an RO system could easily bear more stress from not having a water softener. Around here, though, the amount you’d be saving on the more frequent prefilter changes makes it almost always worth looking into a complete home water softener, whether you choose a single point-of-use RO system or a home-wide model.
