Reverse Osmosis in Potrero, CA.
Reverse Osmosis for Potrero homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. Reverse osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects dissolved contaminants: dissolved solids, nitrates, heavy metals, PFAS compounds, sodium, and more. The result is water that consistently outperforms bottled water in purity and does it for pennies per gallon rather than dollars.
What reverse osmosis looks like in Potrero
An under-sink RO system provides bottled-quality drinking water for Potrero well homes and adds a second filtration barrier downstream of the whole-home treatment sequence. Even after iron filtration, softening, and UV disinfection, an RO membrane at the kitchen removes residual dissolved solids, any trace compounds the upstream system didn't catch, and provides an independent line of defense at the point where you're actually drinking and cooking. Well water in the SR-94 corridor is worth treating at both the whole-home and drinking-water level.

How does Potrero's climate affect this service?
Potrero sits at 2,500 feet along SR-94 in a rural border-zone valley with hot summers, winter freezes, and 15-18 inches of annual rainfall. Private wells are the norm here, and groundwater quality ranges from moderately hard with iron staining to sulfur odor and sediment issues on older systems. An under-sink RO system provides bottled-quality drinking water for Potrero well homes and adds a second filtration barrier downstream of the whole-home treatment sequence.
Does reverse osmosis remove PFAS?
Yes. Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective technologies for PFAS reduction. The EPA established enforceable drinking water limits for several PFAS compounds in 2024, and NSF/ANSI 58 certified RO membranes are rated for PFAS reduction. We specify certified membranes on every RO install.
Does RO remove beneficial minerals?
RO removes most dissolved minerals, including calcium and magnesium. Some people prefer to add a remineralization stage after the membrane that reintroduces trace minerals and slightly raises the pH. We offer this as an add-on. For most households the difference in mineral intake from water versus food is negligible.
