Reverse Osmosis
Systems in
Orlando, FL
Crisp, great-tasting drinking water straight from your tap. Alkaline reverse osmosis reduces the chlorine taste, plus lead, arsenic, and PFAS, then adds healthy minerals back. We test your water, build the right system, and put an end to buying bottles.

What does a reverse osmosis system do?
A reverse osmosis system cleans your drinking water at the kitchen tap. It pushes water through a fine membrane that reduces chlorine, lead, arsenic, PFAS, and other contaminants, then an alkaline stage adds healthy minerals back for taste. You get crisp, bottled-quality water on demand. Seagull tests your water first, installs the system under your sink in a few hours, and most families stop buying bottles the same week.
The honest version
What's actually in Orlando tap water
Orlando tap water is safe to drink. It meets every federal standard, and OUC treats it well before it reaches your home. But cleaning water with chlorine and ozone leaves a few things behind. These are the exact things a reverse osmosis system is built to reduce at your kitchen tap. No scare tactics here, just the real numbers from the city's own report.
Chlorine byproducts (TTHM)
66.29 ppb, limit is 80 ppb
About 83% of the federal ceiling. These form when chlorine cleans the water.
Chlorine (the disinfectant)
Averages 1.2 ppm, up to 2.1 ppm
This is the pool taste and smell you notice at the tap.
Bromate
3.7 ppb, limit is 10 ppb
A byproduct of the ozone OUC uses to treat the water.
Under the limit is not the same as gone. Your family still drinks these every day. Reverse osmosis and carbon filtration reduce them at the one tap you drink from. See the full report yourself in OUC's 2024 Water Quality Report.
Signs your Orlando home needs reverse osmosis
If two or more of these sound like your kitchen, you are already paying for water you do not enjoy.
It tastes like a swimming pool
Chlorine taste and smell straight from the tap. Your kids refuse to drink it, and you reach for bottled water instead. Reverse osmosis takes the chlorine taste out.
You keep buying bottled water
Cases from Publix, five-gallon jugs, $40 to $50 a week. The average Florida family runs through hundreds of plastic bottles a year. An RO tap ends that for good.
A chemical or metallic smell
Off smells and odd aftertastes usually mean chlorine byproducts or metals from old pipes. You should not have to hold your nose to drink your own tap water.
You worry what is really in it
Orlando's tap water carries chlorine disinfection byproducts (TTHM) close to 83% of the federal limit, per OUC's 2024 Water Quality Report. RO is built to reduce those at the tap.
Simple and honest
How we install your reverse osmosis system
Three steps from your first test to clean water at the tap. No mess, no guesswork.
We test your water first
A Seagull specialist tests your actual Orlando tap water in your home. You see what is in it, chlorine, hardness, contaminants, before anyone talks about a system.
We install it under your sink
The system tucks neatly under the kitchen sink with its own dedicated faucet. Most installs take just a few hours, and we clean up before we leave.
Alkaline minerals go back in
A final stage adds healthy minerals back for a smooth taste and balanced pH. You get clean, crisp water that tastes better than the bottles you were buying.
How it works
The stages of a reverse osmosis system
A reverse osmosis system is not one filter. It is a set of stages, and each one does a different job before the water reaches your glass.
Sediment pre-filter
Catches the big stuff first, sand, rust, and dirt that travel through the pipes. This protects the finer filters downstream so they last longer.
Carbon filter
Carbon pulls out the chlorine taste and smell, plus the chlorine byproducts. This is the stage that ends the pool-water flavor, and it protects the membrane from chlorine damage.
Reverse osmosis membrane
The heart of the system. Water is pushed through a membrane with openings so small that dissolved contaminants get left behind, including lead and metals a carbon filter cannot catch alone.
Post-carbon polish
A final carbon stage cleans up any last taste or odor before the water reaches the faucet. It is the difference between clean water and crisp water.
Alkaline mineral stage
Pure RO water can taste flat, because it removes almost everything, including healthy minerals. This last stage adds them back for a smooth taste and balanced pH.
Which one fits your home
Under-sink RO vs. whole-house reverse osmosis
Not every home needs the same system. Here is the honest difference, so you know what you are choosing before Cesar ever quotes anything.
Under-sink reverse osmosis
Most Orlando homes
This is the system most families ask for. It tucks under the kitchen sink with its own dedicated faucet, and it makes clean drinking and cooking water on demand. It is the practical, affordable way to stop buying bottled water. For most households, this is all you need.
Whole-house reverse osmosis
Specific needs
This treats RO water for the entire home, every tap and appliance, not just the kitchen. It is a bigger system for homes with specific water goals. It is not the right fit for everyone, and Cesar will tell you straight if your home does not need it.
One thing about Orlando that matters either way. The water here is hard, and hard water is rough on an RO membrane. A water softener installed upstream protects the membrane and helps the whole system last longer. Your free water test tells us whether you need a softener, an RO system, or both. Got hard water too? See our water softener systems.
Built to standard
Industry standards, capacity, and TDS
The systems Seagull installs are built to recognized industry standards, the same NSF/ANSI benchmarks used to rate drinking water treatment. That is not marketing language, it is how the components are made and tested.
Capacity is measured in gallons per day, or GPD. A typical home system makes plenty of clean water for drinking and cooking, and it refills on its own as you use it. You will not run out mid-week the way you do with a case of bottles.
You will also hear the term TDS, which stands for total dissolved solids. It is the total amount of minerals, salts, and metals dissolved in your water. Reverse osmosis lowers TDS significantly. We do not guess your number from a city average, because your home is not an average. Cesar measures your actual TDS during the free in-home water test, and you see it with your own eyes before anyone talks about a system.
Reverse Osmosis vs. Bottled Water
Bottled water feels like the safe choice. Here is what it actually costs you.

How long does a reverse osmosis system last?
A quality reverse osmosis system runs for many years when the filters are changed on schedule. Upkeep is simple, and Seagull handles the service so it never slips. Here is what keeps it running clean:
- Filters change about once a year, we show you the schedule
- The RO membrane lasts several years with normal care
- A softener upstream protects the membrane in Orlando hard water

Good questions
Reverse osmosis questions, answered
How much does a reverse osmosis system cost in Orlando?
It depends on the system and your plumbing. We test your water first and hand you a written price before you decide. Many homeowners find an RO system pays for itself by replacing what they spend on bottled water every month. Flexible payment plans are available for qualified homeowners.
Does reverse osmosis remove lead, arsenic, and PFAS?
A properly built and maintained reverse osmosis system is designed to reduce many common drinking water contaminants, including lead, arsenic, PFAS, and VOCs. It also takes out the chlorine taste and smell. Your water test shows exactly what is in your tap so the system targets it.
What is alkaline reverse osmosis?
Standard reverse osmosis removes almost everything, including some healthy minerals. Alkaline RO adds those minerals back in a final stage. The result is clean water with a smoother taste and a balanced pH, closer to a quality bottled water but straight from your tap.
Does it waste a lot of water?
Older systems wasted more. The modern systems we install are far more efficient and use only a small amount of rinse water for every gallon of drinking water they make. For most families the trade is well worth crisp, clean water at the tap.
How often do the filters need changing?
Most filters are changed about once a year, and the membrane lasts several years with good care. We show you the schedule and handle service, so you never have to guess when it is due.
Do I need a water softener too?
Often yes, because they do different jobs. Reverse osmosis cleans your drinking water at the kitchen tap, while a softener treats hard water for the whole house. A softener also protects the RO membrane in Orlando hard water. Your free water test tells us if you need one or both.
Do you install whole-house reverse osmosis in Orlando?
Yes. Most Orlando homes go with an under-sink system for clean drinking and cooking water, but we install whole-house reverse osmosis too for homes that need RO water at every tap. Which one fits depends on your water and your goals. Cesar tests your water first, then recommends the right size. In Orlando's hard water we usually pair RO with a softener, because the softener protects the membrane and helps the system last longer.
What contaminants are in Orlando's tap water?
Orlando tap water is safe and meets federal standards, but treatment leaves a few things behind. Per OUC's 2024 Water Quality Report, chlorine disinfection byproducts known as TTHM measured 66.29 ppb, against a federal limit of 80 ppb, which is about 83% of the ceiling. Chlorine itself runs up to 2.1 ppm, and that is the pool taste you notice. Bromate, a byproduct of ozone treatment, came in at 3.7 ppb. These are exactly what a reverse osmosis and carbon system reduces at your kitchen tap.
What is TDS and does reverse osmosis lower it?
TDS stands for total dissolved solids. It is the total amount of minerals, salts, and metals dissolved in your water. Reverse osmosis lowers TDS significantly, because the membrane leaves most of those dissolved solids behind. We do not quote you a number from a city average, because your home is not an average. Cesar measures your actual TDS during the free in-home water test, so you see your real number before you decide anything.
