The Most Important 1% of Your Water

Reverse Osmosis Whole House Water Filtration System

Representing only 1% of your total water bill, drinking water is probably the most important 1%. From reverse osmosis systems to carbon filtration, we provide the leading drinking water purification systems on the market today. We encourage you to look for third-party testing and look at the datasheets as you shop for drinking water systems. The longer the list, the longer the membrane life, the larger the carbon surface area, and the less you’ll have to worry about these common problems in your drinking water:

Bad Odor   |   Foul Taste   |   Organic Compounds   |   Chlorine 
Arsenic   |   Heavy Metals   |   Fluoride

The Best Residential Reverse Osmosis System

The Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station® is so advanced that it eliminates nearly everything from your home’s drinking water that isn’t water. With increased water pressure and flow, our unique system removes bad taste, odors, chlorine and other chemicals, bacteria, viruses, pharmaceuticals, and harmful toxins. Don’t just take our word for it, though–the Water Quality Association (WQA) has certified the K5 to the national standard (NSF/ANSI Standard 58) for PFOS/PFOA (stubborn man-made chemical) removal.

99% Contaminant Removal

Lower-end systems are tested to remove only 50-80% of what is in the water, while the K5 from Kinetico significantly reduces more contaminants than any other drinking water treatment unit. The K5 with water tank is even certified by WQA to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for PFOS/PFOA removal.

QuickFlo® Technology

Producing more water faster than any other comparable system, the QuickFlo® Technology in the K5 delivers a strong, steady stream of water on demand. There’s no need to wait or ration with the increased water pressure and flow from the Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station.

Self-cleaning, Low Cost

The EverClean® Rinse feature of the Kinetico K5 ensures the long life of your reverse osmosis membrane to save you on the cost of ownership. The K5’s combination of a high-quality membrane, self-rinse with clean water, and 10 year warranty is unparalleled in the residential market.

Customizable, Manageable

A fully customizable solution, the K5 allows you to change FlexFilters to meet the specific water challenges you are facing - now or in the future, while the PureMometer® Filter Life Indicator and Kinetico App keep you up to date on filter changes and service needs.

Different Drinking Water System Choices

The choice of a drinking water system is probably the most important in designing a water treatment system. From the amount of contaminants your system removes to a lower total cost of ownership, Water Doctors offers both reverse osmosis and activated carbon solutions to improve your drinking water quality.

Reverse Osmosis vs. Carbon Filtration​

Reverse Osmosis / Carbon Combination
Reverse osmosis is a membrane-based system. The membrane has very tiny pores and works by blocking anything larger than a water molecule from getting through. The system is only as effective as the membrane. So, a lower grade membrane will produce lower-quality water and need frequent replacement. This drives up the total cost of ownership.

Third-parties measure reverse osmosis quality and compile results into datasheets listing contaminants removed. The better the system, the longer the datasheet. You might find lower-end systems tested to remove 50-80% of what is in the water. Our Kinetico K5 Drinking Station has one of the longest datasheets in the industry.

Carbon Block or Activated Carbon Only
Carbon covers a wide range of filters. The lower end, typically a loose, granulated carbon, includes most of the pitcher-types and refrigerator filters. Higher grade filters feature a denser block of carbon and are more effective than granulated carbon. The Always Fresh filters that we carry are a dense carbon block, affording high levels of chlorine reduction. The density increases the contact time water has with the filter, removing more volatile organic chemicals like herbicides and pesticides.

The Always Fresh filter also has a silver-based substance that curbs microbial growth. While the main benefit to using carbon is its incredible surface area, that’s also a lot of nooks and crannies for bacteria to grow in. Silver-impregnated filters help curb that growth, making carbon filters like the Always Fresh a healthier choice for your home.
