Reverse Osmosis Systems in Colorado Springs

Clean, Great-Tasting Drinking Water—Right From Your Tap

Many homeowners in the Colorado Springs area want better-tasting, cleaner drinking water without relying on bottled water. Even when local water is treated and safe, taste, odor, and mineral content can still be frustrating—especially across El Paso County’s diverse water sources.

We provide professional reverse osmosis (RO) system installation in Colorado Springs, led by Master Plumber Shane Ebersbach and based on real local water conditions. Our goal is simple: deliver clean, great-tasting drinking water—installed correctly and sized for your home.

What Is a Reverse Osmosis System?

A reverse osmosis system is a multi-stage drinking water filtration system that uses a semi-permeable membrane to reduce dissolved solids and impurities.

RO systems are typically installed:

  • Under the kitchen sink
  • At a dedicated drinking water faucet
  • Connected to refrigerators or ice makers when desired

They are designed specifically for drinking and cooking water—not for whole-home treatment.

Glacier Drop Reverse Osmosis System

Pure Drinking Water—Right From Your Kitchen Tap

We install the Glacier Drop RO system, an ultra-efficient under-sink solution built for Colorado Springs city water and surrounding well water.

Why Homeowners Love It:

  • 1:1 water efficiency ratio (most systems waste 3 gallons for every 1 produced)
  • Produces up to 75 gallons per day
  • Slim design fits under most sinks
  • Five-stage filtration for crisp, premium taste
  • Twist-off disposable filters for fast, sanitary replacement
  • Uses existing household water pressure—no pump required

The Glacier Drop reduces:

  • Dissolved solids (TDS)
  • Chlorine taste and odor
  • Many nuisance contaminants common in municipal and well water

This makes it ideal for:

  • Drinking
  • Cooking
  • Coffee and tea
  • Ice makers

It also helps reduce reliance on bottled water while delivering consistent quality year-round.

Glacier Drop+ Alkaline Reverse Osmosis System

Purified Water With Added Mineral Balance

For homeowners who want the purity of reverse osmosis plus enhanced taste and mineral balance, we offer the Glacier Drop+ system.

Standard RO removes dissolved minerals along with impurities. The Glacier Drop+ includes an alkaline remineralization stage that restores beneficial minerals back into the water.

Benefits of the Glacier Drop+:

  • Raises the pH of drinking water
  • Adds beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium
  • Improves taste and mouthfeel
  • Reduces the flat taste sometimes associated with purified water
  • Maintains the same high-efficiency filtration as the Glacier Drop

Like the Glacier Drop, it installs neatly under the sink and provides dedicated drinking water for everyday use.

Reverse Osmosis vs. Other Water Treatment Systems

RO systems are best for:

  • Drinking and cooking water
  • Improving taste and odor
  • Reducing dissolved solids

RO systems are not designed to:

  • Reduce hard water scale
  • Replace water softeners
  • Treat the entire home

In many Colorado Springs homes, RO systems are paired with water softeners or whole-home filtration to create a complete water treatment strategy.

Why Proper Installation Matters

Reverse osmosis systems must be installed correctly to perform as intended.

Professional installation ensures:

  • Correct system sizing
  • Proper water pressure and flow
  • Clean, leak-free connections
  • Proper drain and air-gap configuration (when required)
  • Long-term reliability and easy maintenance

As a Master Plumber–led company, we install RO systems cleanly, safely, and in accordance with plumbing best practices.

Why Reverse Osmosis Is So Popular in Colorado Springs

Why Reverse Osmosis Is So Popular in Colorado Springs

Homes in our area rely on a mix of surface water, groundwater, municipal systems, community wells, and private wells. While these sources are treated for safety, many homeowners still notice:

  • Chlorine or chemical taste
  • Mineral or metallic flavors
  • Inconsistent water quality
  • White residue in kettles and coffee makers
  • Concerns about what’s actually in their drinking water

Reverse osmosis systems treat water at the point of use—most commonly under the kitchen sink—providing highly purified water where it matters most.

RO systems are especially beneficial for homes served by:

  • Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU)
  • Widefield Water & Sanitation District
  • Donala Water & Sanitation District
  • Cherokee Metropolitan District
  • Tri-View Metropolitan District
  • Community well systems, including areas like Woodmoor
  • Private residential wells

Because each source has different characteristics and mineral content, RO systems help deliver consistent, high-quality drinking water regardless of supply.

Better Water Starts with the Right System

Do You Need Water Testing Before RO?

In most cases, a basic water evaluation is recommended to confirm:

Testing helps ensure your system performs efficiently and lasts longer.
