Water in Nebraska and Iowa can contain a variety of impurities. Things like nitrates, arsenic, lead, and bacteria can contaminate well water or municipal systems. Hard water and high iron levels are also common in the region.
If you’re looking to improve the taste of your drinking water or remove contaminants, our experts can design a system that delivers pure, great-tasting water every time.
Enjoy crisp, clean water right from your tap with a reverse osmosis (RO) water filter system from Futuramic’s Clean Water Center. Our team provides professional reverse osmosis system installation, maintenance, and repair services for homeowners and businesses.

What Is Reverse Osmosis Filtration?
A reverse osmosis water filter system uses advanced filtration technology to remove impurities from your water. During the process, water is forced through a semipermeable membrane that traps particles, chemicals, and contaminants while allowing clean water molecules to pass through.
The RO process eliminates up to 99% of impurities, making it one of the most thorough household purification methods. The result is cleaner, better-tasting water ideal for drinking, cooking, and even making ice.
RO systems can remove or reduce:
- Pesticides and herbicides
- Dissolved salts
- PFAS
- Lead
- Arsenic
- Nitrates
- Fluoride
- Heavy metals
- Tannins
- Total dissolved solids (TDS)
- Microorganisms, including some bacteria, viruses, and cysts
Additionally, the carbon filters in most RO systems also help eliminate issues like:
- Chlorine
- Bad tastes and odors (like rotten egg smell)
- VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
If your tap water has a poor taste, cloudy appearance, or bad odor, our advanced reverse osmosis systems can provide a noticeable quality improvement. And if you’re worried about the potability of your water, our water testing and RO installation services offer peace of mind.

Parts of a Reverse Osmosis System
A reverse osmosis filter system includes several key components that work together to deliver clean water:
- Pre-Filters: Remove sediment, chlorine, and larger particles to protect the reverse osmosis membrane.
- RO Membrane: The core of the system, filtering out dissolved contaminants like lead, nitrates, and fluoride.
- Post-Filter: Polishes the water to improve taste and odor before it reaches your faucet.
- Storage Tank: Holds purified water until it’s needed.
- Automatic Shut-Off Valve: Stops water production when the tank is full to conserve energy and water.
- Faucet & Drain Line: Dispenses filtered water and carries away impurities removed during the filtration process.
Regular RO maintenance and timely filter replacements help keep every component working efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reverse Osmosis
How often should I replace my RO filters?
Most reverse osmosis filters need to be replaced every 6–12 months, while membranes typically last 2–5 years. We can create a maintenance plan to fit your specific system and water conditions.
How long does an RO system last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, a reverse osmosis system can last 10–15 years or longer. Replacing filters and membranes on schedule ensures the system continues producing clean, high-quality water throughout its lifespan.
Does reverse osmosis waste water?
RO systems produce a small amount of wastewater while removing impurities. However, newer high-efficiency systems minimize waste significantly compared to older models.
Can reverse osmosis remove fluoride and lead?
Absolutely. RO systems are highly effective at removing fluoride, lead, and other contaminants commonly found in municipal or well water.
