Reverse Osmosis Systems in Tulsa, OK
You can put your mind at ease about the safety of Tulsa water; the city is on top of testing and puts out the results every June. But while it is safe, it is also moderately hard, carrying enough minerals to leave spots on your glassware and a taste that some are not fond of. A reverse osmosis system is the answer to the latter. Wooten Knock-Out Plumbing installs and services RO systems across Tulsa with upfront pricing and licensed plumbers.

What a Reverse Osmosis System Does
What you get from an RO system is drinking water with a noticeably cleaner taste. It works by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane to block dissolved solids. In a standard under-sink reverse osmosis system, the water is run through a series of filters, sediment, carbon, the RO membrane itself and a final polish, before coming out of a dedicated faucet at your sink. There is usually a small storage tank so you does not have to wait on the membrane to fill a glass.
Reverse Osmosis and Tulsa's Water
Tulsa draws its water from the reservoirs in northeastern Oklahoma, Spavinaw, Eucha, and Oologah, and it picks up calcium and magnesium along the way from the region's limestone and sedimentary rock. That is what makes it moderately hard. The hardness in the water is not a health issue, but it can be an annoyance: scale on fixtures, a flat coffee, haze on glasses. An RO system will take care of the water you drink and cook with at one tap. Should you find that scale is getting to your water heater and other parts of the house, we will have a frank discussion about whether a whole-home water softener or filtration system should be part of the plan.
(918) 367-8887RO Installation, Done Right
Installation makes or breaks a reverse osmosis system. We do not just put the unit in place; we mount it securely, make sure the drain line has an air gap to prevent back-siphoning, and do a clean job with the dedicated faucet in your sink or countertop. We pressurize and check the storage tank and give the system a full flush before we are done. If you need the line run to the ice maker and water dispenser in the fridge, we will handle that. Our quotes are flat, in writing, and upfront, with no hidden fees.
Filter Changes and Service
Maintenance is part of the deal. You can expect to change the sediment and carbon pre-filters every six to twelve months or so and the membrane every two to five years. With our hard water, those timelines can be shorter if the pre-filters are neglected and the membrane has to pick up the slack. We will give you a realistic schedule for your household and let you know what actually needs replacing when we come out, rather than peddling a new set of filters at every visit. We service systems we have put in and ones we have not.

Serving Tulsa and nearby communitiesFrequently Asked Questions
1Does reverse osmosis remove the hardness from Tulsa water?
At the tap it serves, largely yes. The membrane blocks most dissolved minerals and impurities. But an under-sink RO only treats that one faucet. For scale protection throughout the house, the water heater and fixtures and dishwasher, you would want a water softener or whole-home filtration system working alongside it.
2How often do RO filters need changing?
Pre-filters typically every six to twelve months; the membrane every two to five years. We will set a realistic schedule based on your actual water and household size, and remind you rather than letting the system quietly degrade.
3Does an RO system waste water?
There is some wastewater involved in keeping the membrane clean, though modern water systems are much more efficient in that regard than older models. We will tell you the true ratio of the unit you are looking at before you buy it.
4Can you install a reverse osmosis system I bought myself?
Yes. Bring home whatever unit you like, and we will install it properly, with a drain connection and dedicated faucet included. If we see a problem with the unit itself, we will say so before we put it in rather than after.
