Tampa switched to free chlorine through Oct 5 — expect a stronger chlorine taste. City notice

BaylifeWater Filtration Solutions

Reverse Osmosis

Under-sink RO for better-tasting Tampa Bay drinking water. We install NSF/ANSI 58-certified models, with an optional PFAS-reduction tier.

What it fixes

  • Odd taste or smell in drinking and cooking water
  • Dissolved solids and sediment at the kitchen tap
  • Concern about PFAS at the tap where you drink and cook
  • Reliance on bottled water

What it doesn't do

  • Only treats water at its dedicated faucet, not the whole house
  • Uses some extra water as part of the filtration process
  • Doesn't soften water or fix whole-home taste and smell issues

How it works

  1. 1

    Water passes through pre-filter stages

    Sediment and carbon pre-filters remove larger particles before water reaches the RO membrane.

  2. 2

    The membrane does the fine work

    A semi-permeable membrane blocks dissolved solids and many contaminants, sending them to a drain line.

  3. 3

    Clean water waits in a tank

    Filtered water collects in a small under-sink tank, ready at its own dedicated faucet.

Is it right for you?

A good fit if

  • You want the best-tasting water at your kitchen sink for drinking and cooking
  • You're concerned about PFAS or dissolved solids in your tap water
  • You want a certified reduction claim, not a guess — we'll name the exact certified model (NSF/ANSI 58, and 53 for PFAS) before you buy

Probably not if

  • You want treated water at every tap, not just the kitchen — pair with whole-home filtration
  • You want to avoid any wastewater from filtration
  • Your main concern is hardness, not taste or contaminants — start with a softener

Common questions

Does RO remove PFAS?

Certified RO systems can reduce PFAS, but the specific claim depends on which tier the certified model carries — a legacy PFOA/PFOS-only claim, or the newer claim covering seven PFAS compounds. We'll confirm and name the exact tier for your equipment before you buy.

Does RO remove fluoride?

Florida stopped adding fluoride to public water in July 2025, so this isn't a reason to choose RO here. It's better suited to taste, dissolved solids, and certified contaminant reduction.

How much water does it waste?

RO systems use some extra water to flush the membrane. We can talk through efficient models at your free test if that's a concern.
