NEED HELP WITH A
PLUMBING, HEATING
OR DRAIN PROBLEM?

Sherwood Park’s municipal water supply meets Health Canada guidelines, but point-of-use filtration can address residual tastes or hardness. A reverse osmosis system can eradicate up to 99% of dissolved impurities such as chlorine, lead, and arsenic (Lone Star Water Services). As sherwood park reverse osmosis experts, we combine local insight with certified installation practices to ensure your system delivers crisp, clean water every time. Whether you’re steps from Millennium Place or a short drive from Sherwood Park Mall, our team has you covered. You can explore our full range of reverse osmosis installation and replacement services through Kingstree Plumbing.

Reverse Osmosis Maintenance, Service & Repair in Sherwood Park keeps your system performing like new—inspections, filter swaps, leak checks, and membrane health tests done right.

Key idea: Partnering with certified local professionals helps you avoid common installation pitfalls and enjoy maximum contaminant removal with minimal downtime.

Assess your water quality

Before you choose a system, get a clear snapshot of what’s in your tap water. A simple home test kit or certified lab report can identify:

• Total dissolved solids (TDS) level, measured in parts per million
• pH (acidity or alkalinity) on a 0–14 scale
• Hardness, due to calcium and magnesium minerals
• Chlorine or chloramine residuals from disinfection
• Sediment, iron, or manganese traces

Knowing these numbers helps you pick the right filters and pre-treatment. For example, a pH between 2 and 11 won’t harm most RO membranes, but extreme hardness can lead to scaling and reduced flow (ROAGUA). Good news, local water test kits often return results in under a week and cost less than $75.

Choose the best system

Reverse osmosis units range from compact under-sink models to whole-house setups. Focus on these factors to match your needs:

• Installation point (POU vs POE):
• Point-of-use (under-sink) treats only drinking and cooking water
• Point-of-entry (whole-house) protects all fixtures and appliances
• Filtration stages:
• 3-stage systems cover sediment, carbon block, and membrane
• 5-stage setups add post-filters and optional UV or remineralization
• Flow rate and capacity:
• Typical under-sink units deliver 50–75 gallons per day
• POE systems often exceed 100 gallons per day
• Remineralization: rebuilds essential calcium and magnesium for taste and health

Pros and cons at a glance:

System type	Pros	Cons
Under-sink RO	Compact footprint, lower cost	Treats only one faucet
Whole-house RO	Protects plumbing, extends appliance life	Higher upfront investment, larger size
Remineralized RO	Balanced mineral profile, better taste	Slightly higher maintenance cost

Prepare for installation

A smooth install starts with good planning. Here’s what to arrange before your appointment:

1. Space and access
   Clear under-sink cabinets or reserve room near the main line for point-of-entry setups.
2. Water feed and drain line
   Confirm a dedicated cold-water tap and safe drain connection—air gap faucets help prevent backflow.
3. Electrical outlet
   Booster pumps or UV lights need nearby power.
4. Permits and code compliance
   Our technicians use CSA-certified fittings and follow Alberta plumbing codes to keep everything up to standard (CSA Group).
5. Final walkthrough
   Review installation steps, warranty details, and maintenance expectations with your installer.

Maintain your system regularly

Routine upkeep keeps performance high and avoids surprises. Follow this schedule:

• Replace sediment and carbon pre-filters every 6 to 12 months.
• Change the RO membrane every 2 to 3 years, or when TDS rejection drops below 85%.
• Swap post-filters annually to polish taste and odor.
• Sanitize the system yearly to prevent microbial growth.

Watch for these common issues:

• Low water pressure: clogged pre-filters or a partially closed feed valve
• Leaks at fittings: worn gaskets or loose connections
• Cloudy or off-taste water: flush the system for 5 minutes after long idle periods

Lone Star Water Services reports that tailored maintenance plans—combining periodic checks and filter swaps—keep water quality at its peak (Lone Star Water Services). Good news, many tasks you can handle yourself, or simply book a service call.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical RO installation take?
Under-sink units usually install in 2 to 4 hours, including flush and testing. Whole-house systems can take a full day if piping modifications are needed.

How often should I change my filters?
Pre-filters every 6–12 months, post-filters annually, and the RO membrane every 2–3 years, depending on water quality.

Can I install the system myself?
DIY kits exist, but certified installers hold WQA credentials like Certified Installation (CI) to meet code and optimize performance.

Do RO systems waste a lot of water?
Standard models use about 3–4 gallons of drain water per gallon produced. High-efficiency units can reduce waste to 1–2 gallons per gallon.

Do I need a permit in Sherwood Park?
Minor under-sink installations typically don’t require permits. Whole-house RO systems may need a plumbing permit—your installer will handle approvals.
