Residential Reverse Osmosis Systems For Central Texas Homes

Austin Reverse Osmosis Systems

American Water installs Kinetico reverse osmosis systems for Austin homeowners who want better-tasting water for drinking, cooking, coffee and ice. Our team brings more than 250 years of combined water treatment experience to every install, and we’ve been helping families in Round Rock, Dripping Springs, Victoria and Corpus Christi get cleaner water since 1987.

The right system depends on your water and your kitchen. Some homes need targeted filtration for specific contaminants, while others want something compact that frees up space under the sink. Below, you’ll find how reverse osmosis works, what it removes and how Kinetico’s systems compare, so you can see what fits before we ever talk price.

What Does Reverse Osmosis Remove?

Water in Central and South Texas travels through a lot of limestone before it reaches your tap. It picks up dissolved minerals along the way, and city systems add disinfectant to keep it clean in the pipes. Reverse osmosis is one of the most thorough ways to filter what’s left. Depending on the system, Kinetico RO is certified to reduce:

Kinetico HYDRO® ECO™: Tankless Reverse Osmosis

HYDRO ECO is Kinetico’s first tankless reverse osmosis system. Many traditional RO systems store filtered water in an under-sink tank. HYDRO ECO skips the tank and filters water on demand, so you get a continuous supply right when you turn on the faucet.

It’s also Kinetico’s first electronic drinking water system with built-in feedback. LED indicators on both the faucet and the unit show system status and filter life at a glance. Built-in leak detection monitors the system around the clock, sounds an alert and shuts off automatically if it senses a leak.

HYDRO ECO is a strong fit for:

• Kitchens with limited under-sink space
• Homeowners who want filtered water without waiting on a tank to refill
• Households focused on saving waterAnyone who wants a simple, low-maintenance system

• EPA WaterSense® Certified

• WaterSense is the EPA’s label for products that use less water without sacrificing performance, and every labeled product is independently certified to meet the EPA’s criteria. HYDRO ECO is among the first point-of-use reverse osmosis systems to earn it. It produces about two gallons of filtered water for every gallon sent down the drain, so you get better drinking water without the waste of older RO systems.

• Certified Contaminant Reduction

  • 

    HYDRO ECO is certified to reduce lead, chlorine, fluoride, nitrates, heavy metals and total dissolved solids. That covers the chlorine taste many city water customers notice, metals that can come from older plumbing and fixtures, and the dissolved minerals that leave tap water tasting flat. Certified means the system was tested against these contaminants, not just designed with them in mind.

Because HYDRO ECO is electric, it needs a power source under the sink. We’ll check your setup during your free water test.

Which Kinetico RO System Is Right for You?

All three systems use reverse osmosis to deliver better drinking water. The differences come down to space, features and how much you want to customize your filtration.

What Are The Main Benefits Of Reverse Osmosis?

A reverse osmosis system does more than improve taste. It changes how your household uses water every day.

• Better taste and smell: It cuts the chlorine taste and dissolved minerals that make tap water taste flat or off.
• Reduced contaminants: It filters out lead, PFAS and more, depending on the system.
• Less plastic waste: Fewer bottled water runs and fewer empty bottles in the recycling bin.
• Better coffee, ice and cooking: Filtered water lets flavors come through the way they should.
