Remineralization Filters in Chicago, IL

Reverse osmosis water is clean but flat. With most of the calcium and magnesium gone, it often tests between 6 and 6.5 pH, and some people find the taste thin or a little sour.

A remineralization stage fixes that. It is an inline cartridge, usually filled with calcite and corosex or a blended mineral media, fitted after the membrane. Water picks up a small amount of calcium and magnesium on the way through, and pH usually rises toward 7.5 to 8.

Bear Water Purification connects Chicago, IL homeowners with plumbers who add remineralization to existing 4 and 5 stage systems. Placement matters. On a system with a storage tank, the cartridge goes on the outlet side, after the post-carbon, so water does not sit in mineral media for hours.

Expect your TDS meter to climb a little after the install, often by 20 to 40 ppm. That is the minerals going back in, not a failing membrane.

Cartridges are usually changed every 6 to 12 months.

Call Bear Water Purification at (833) 879-3600 to add a remineralization filter.

Reverse osmosis FAQs

Questions about reverse osmosis system installation

Questions we hear most often about Remineralization Filters in Chicago, IL.

Talk to a real person
How much does reverse osmosis system installation cost in Chicago, IL?
It depends on the system, the countertop material and whether a booster or permeate pump is needed. A standard under-sink install is the simplest job, while whole house and commercial systems are priced after a water test. Call (833) 879-3600 to get a quote for your home.
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 does my RO water taste bad all of a sudden?
A spent carbon post-filter, a storage tank that needs sanitizing or a worn membrane are the common causes. Filter changes and a tank sanitize clear up most taste complaints.
Does a reverse osmosis system need electricity?
A standard tank system does not, and neither does a permeate pump. Tankless units, booster pumps and UV stages do need an outlet under the sink.
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.
