What is Whole-Home Reverse Osmosis?
Whole-Home Reverse Osmosis is a water purification technology. It can purify virtually any type of water. It is so effective it can actually purify seawater into potable drinking water! This method is becoming popular in Saskatchewan because we have brackish well water, or even for larger volumes for agricultural application such as spraying.
Alternative methods of water filtration
Regular filtration only removes the particles in water, which typically account for 10-20% of the contaminants in the water. To remove the rest of the contaminants, traditional methods have focused on ion-exchange methods (water softener, etc.) which swap the undesirable contaminant (calcium, tannin, nitrate, etc.) with sodium. This is enough only when there is a single, easy-to-fix issue. Whole-home reverse osmosis is necessary when the water quality is very poor. It can handle high dissolved solids, hardness, tannin/organics, salt and dugout water. It is the only way to get remove all dissolved contaminants from your water. (This would include nitrates, sulphates, calcium, arsenic and more.)
How does it work?
Whole-Home Reverse Osmosis removes the particles and the dissolved contaminants (salts, metals, chemical byproducts, etc.) for as close to 100% purification as possible. It uses a large (usually 40”) membrane which is able to remove up to 99% of the contaminants from the water including dissolved material such as nitrates, sulphates, arsenic, lead, sodium, tannin, uranium, dirt, and virtually any other undesirable contaminant for your entire home. The result is “bottled quality” water (or better) from every tap in your home, including the outside taps, or even for larger volumes for agricultural applications such as spraying.
The pros of a Whole-Home Reverse Osmosis System
Ease of use
Whole-house RO is much more convenient than water softeners. Some homes are spending $400 to $600 a year on water softener salt. This represents a lot of effort, time and expense. With an RO system, one doesn’t have to check salt levels, haul heavy salt bags or clean salt residue. The machine does the work so you don’t have to.
Robust & Durable
The great thing about these systems is that they don’t even flinch at extreme water conditions such as extreme hardness, extreme TDS (our record for this system is 13,500 ppm and 450 grains of hardness), poor quality dugout water, etc.. For example, your water hardness or TDS could triple and the system wouldn’t even flinch (minor adjustments might be needed).
- It can handle most any water condition and is reliable in extreme water conditions
- It can handle changing water conditions
- The water quality is constant
- The water pressure is constant and adjustable
Water Quality
There is virtually zero variance in how well they perform – they simply work. Customers might complain about the price, but there are almost no complaints once the system is installed as you can’t beat the quality. But, yes, they are expensive!
RO is the gold standard of water treatment. It makes water soft, silky, stain-free, smell-free and clear. If someone wants the best water quality, they will choose reverse osmosis. Sometimes, it is the only way to treat Saskatchewan water!
The cons of a Whole-Home Reverse Osmosis System
Water Consumption
These systems waste more water than conventional systems. They typically lose 1/2-1 gallon of water for every gallon produced. A four-person household could waste 100-300 gallons a day. Compare that with a large iron filter and softener, which wastes around 300 gallons in 2-3 days. The difference can be significant.
Cost & Maintenance
These systems are expensive to buy and maintain. How much you pay depends on usage and water conditions. Most of our clients spend $500-$1,200 a year on consumables and service fees. We can tell you how much you would spend when you request a quote.
Whole-home RO systems can be overkill. They are best suited for extreme water conditions (2000+ TDS, extreme hardness, high tannin, high nitrates or surface water). We aren’t the type who will try to sell you the system if you don’t need it. If an “under the sink” RO and a water softener are enough, then that’s what we will offer you.
Health & Taste
Reverse osmosis removes all the minerals from the water and can reduce the pH to an acidic level. This makes the water less than ideal for drinking and can be corrosive on copper pipes. To prevent this, our Triple Protection package enriches the water with good minerals. It adds pH/alkalinity, absorption benefits and taste so you can have the best of both worlds.
Requirements
Whole-home RO is not always possible. These systems need a 3 GPM flow rate and a 240v electrical (20 amp breaker). You might need to add a water tank if you have a low-producing well. You will have to hire an electrician if you don’t have the right breaker. Some homes don’t have enough room to fit it all in. We will let you know if you are a candidate as part of our free consultation.
A whole-home reverse osmosis system can take up more space than conventional systems. How much space depends on the water chemistry. More components are needed if there is iron, manganese and/or high hardness. They make noise too. This isn’t usually a problem but it could be annoying if you spend a lot of time directly above or beside it. It usually runs 2-3 hours/day during waking hours. You needn’t worry: our customers say they barely hear the hum or don’t notice it at all.
Parts of the System
Required Components

About Saskatoon SK:
Infinite Water was founded in March 2014 by Amanda Machuk and Kalen Mazenc, who were both raised on multi-generational Saskatchewan farms. With respective backgrounds in management and psychology, they wanted to start a business but insisted on a trade that was essential, health-based, and genuinely helped people - something they could be passionate about. Water treatment was the industry that ticked all the boxes. Being raised in a small town that had a boil water advisory for over 10 years, Kalen knew firsthand how poor quality could negatively affect people's lives. And, it was discovered that Saskatchewan well water is known for having the hardest water and most complicated water chemistry of any area in the continent. Being able to grow a business in the province they love, while witnessing firsthand the benefits families in their community can enjoy by having ideal water quality was a dream come true.
The Saskatoon branch was the first to open, with a Weyburn office opening its doors just 14 months later. 6 months after that, a branch location in Regina formed. In 2021, Regina expanded to a new location with twice the square footage, then added a second warehouse in 2023. With service technicians, installers, and sales reps based out of Melville, Emerald Park, Regina, Saskatoon, Hepburn, and Prince Albert, Infinite Water has built a large customer base across our expansive province by focusing on referral business from existing clients and has installed over 5,000 water systems province-wide, with over 3,200 annual service visits on various routes to every corner of Saskatchewan.
Infinite Water has always focused on marketing to small towns and rural areas including farms, where the need is great and customers are often forgotten about by the city companies that can't or won't service the more remote areas of our expansive province (not affordably, anyways). It was found that there was a large gap in the existing water treatment market - companies are either branded which requires them to be exclusive to a particular brand (which greatly limit treatment options and affordability), focus only on one particular type of treatment (which prevents them from providing proper custom solutions for the individual household - there is no one size fits all approach in SK), or hold low-quality products manufactured in China. There is also a severe lack of water quality experts that possess water treatment designations through accredited institutions such as the Canadian Water Quality Association while having enough field experience to properly diagnose and treat problem rural water, including (or arguably, especially) at the "national brand" water companies.
On the contrary, Infinite Water is 100% Saskatchewan-owned and independent, holding products from nearly every major manufacturer, allowing us maximum versatility, and with volume (full truckload) pricing and over 10,000 SKUs, we can access any non-proprietary water treatment equipment or consumables - from water softeners to iron filters to replacement filters - for better pricing than our competitors. The best system or water technology for your neighbor may not be best for you. And, by marketing North-American manufactured products with an industry-leading warranty combined with an included installation and ongoing service package, low-cost consumables, and custom-designed solutions, we believe we have created a product and service that is unique.
We don't care about being the biggest, and we have no desire to scale past the borders of our own province. We are proudly local and have been financially healthy since our first month after opening our doors. Instead of focusing on rapid growth and endless profit growth, we are content with focusing our resources on providing the best care we can to our clients. We take pride in the fact that almost 50% of our new business comes from referrals and that we have maintained most of our prices since inception - as inflation has risen, our efficiency and volume pricing has improved to offset those costs. And, we love to hear clients' reaction in hearing that we don't charge mileage for annual service visits province-wide - whether our clients live in Lloydminster, Maple Creek, Oxbow, or Hudson Bay.
We are big enough to have an established reputation with a strong customer base and field experience, but small enough for our owners and managers to remember you by name when you stop into our office or visit us at a tradeshow. And, supporting Infinite Water keeps your investment in our local economy. We hope you'll introduce yourself, and we'll try to help you in any way we can. We're less interested in selling you a new water system today and more focused on helping you in any way we can, in the process creating a relationship with you and your family that keeps you coming back to us as your go-to water treatment company for life.
