Under-sink 4- and 5-stage RO for pure drinking and cooking water at the kitchen tap.
Materials
What we install vs. what corner-cutters use.
System
4- or 5-stage with quality membrane (Filmtec/Dow).
low-grade all-in-one with generic membrane.
Why it matters: Quality membranes last 3–5 years vs 1–2 for low-grade.
Faucet
Solid brass with quality ceramic disc.
Plastic faucet.
Why it matters: Plastic faucets drip and crack in 1–2 years.
Safety
Auto-shutoff leak detector, air-gap drain.
No leak detection.
Why it matters: Leak detection has saved dozens of our customers from flooded kitchens.

Why us
Why homeowners pick Modern Builders for reverse osmosis system.
We install with a leak-detection auto-shutoff valve. If the system ever leaks, it shuts off water automatically — you don't come home to a flooded kitchen. Every install includes a proper drain saddle with air gap (code requirement) so contaminated wastewater can never siphon back into clean. We tie in your refrigerator ice-maker line at install so your ice and drinking water are both RO-pure.
FAQs
Answers before you ask.
How much water does RO waste?+
Modern RO wastes 1–3 gallons for every gallon produced. Older systems wasted 4–5. We install high-efficiency membranes standard.
Filter changes?+
Sediment and carbon: every 6–12 months. RO membrane: every 3–5 years.
Does RO remove healthy minerals?+
Yes — that's why 5-stage systems add a remineralization cartridge to restore calcium and magnesium.
Can I connect it to my fridge?+
Yes — included in every install if you want it.
