Maglothin Well and Water Treatment LLC installs point-of-use reverse osmosis (RO) systems for better-tasting drinking water at the kitchen tap. We serve Oakland, Livingston, and southern Genesee counties from Ortonville. Call (248) 974-4026.
RO is a drinking-water solution — not a whole-house fix for iron stains or sulfur smell. We usually recommend it after whole-house treatment when you want polished water for drinking and cooking.
What RO Removes at the Kitchen Tap
An under-sink reverse osmosis system pushes water through a fine membrane and serves a dedicated faucet. Homeowners typically choose RO for:
- Better taste and clarity for drinking and cooking
- Reducing dissolved solids that affect flavor
- A dedicated cold drinking tap at the kitchen sink
Exact performance depends on your water chemistry and the system configuration. We explain what’s realistic for your well after testing.
RO After Whole-House Treatment
If your well has iron, sulfur, or hardness problems, fix those at the whole-house level first:
- Iron filtration for staining
- Sulfur treatment for rotten-egg odor
- Water softener for hardness/scale
Putting RO on untreated high-iron or high-sulfur water is the wrong order — membranes and filters foul, and the house still has stains and smell. See the water treatment hub and water testing.
Maglothin has 15 years treating local well water. We install standard, serviceable RO systems — no proprietary lock-in — with upfront pricing.
When Maglothin Recommends RO
- Whole-house issues are addressed (or the water is already suitable)
- You want better drinking-water taste at one main tap
- Test results support RO as the right point-of-use step
Service area includes Ortonville, Clarkston, Lake Orion, Oxford, Highland, Holly, Waterford, Howell, Fenton, and nearby. County pages: Oakland · Livingston.
Service & Expectations
RO systems need periodic filter and membrane service. Because Maglothin installs standard, serviceable equipment — not proprietary locked-in systems — maintenance stays straightforward. We’ll explain the service interval for your unit at install.
Fifteen years treating well water across Oakland, Livingston, and southern Genesee means we’ve seen RO installed too early (before iron/sulfur were fixed) and done right (after whole-house treatment). We recommend the second path. Call (248) 974-4026 for a straight recommendation.
RO FAQ
Is reverse osmosis a whole-house iron or sulfur fix?
No. RO is typically under-sink for drinking water. Iron and sulfur need whole-house treatment.
Should I install RO before or after a softener or iron filter?
After whole-house treatment in most well-water homes. Treating iron/sulfur/hardness first protects the RO and fixes stains and smell everywhere else.
Do you use proprietary RO systems?
No. We install standard, serviceable systems.
What areas do you serve?
Oakland, Livingston, and southern Genesee counties from Ortonville.
