How to Buy a Whole House Reverse Osmosis System for Your Well Water
1. Understanding the Cost
Whole house reverse osmosis (RO) systems typically range from $5,000 to $15,000+. The final price depends on factors such as:
- Water chemistry
- Daily water production needs
- Storage tank size
- Pretreatment requirements
- Overall system design

2. What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis is a process where water is pushed through a semi-permeable membrane using pressure, which separates contaminants from the water. The clean water (permeate) passes through, while impurities (concentrate) are left behind and flushed away.
3. Do You Need a Whole House RO System?
An RO system is ideal if you require high-quality water free from contaminants like:
- Total dissolved solids (TDS)
- Arsenic
- Chromium
- Nitrates
- Sulfates
- We specialize in high recovery & high rejection home reverse osmosis systems for TDS (salty water) removal from brackish well water. Our most recent whole house RO projects include: Nebraska Well Water TDS 14,714ppm, after our RO System 188ppm - Montana Well Water TDS 5,866ppm, after our RO system 79ppm - California Well Water TDS 10,200ppm, after our RO system 175ppm - Wyoming Well Water TDS 6,304ppm, after our RO system 149ppm - Nevada Well Water TDS 2,200ppm, after our RO system 52ppm - Texas Well Water TDS 8,485ppm, after our RO system 122ppm - New Mexico Well Water TDS 3,600ppm (mostly Sulfate at 2,100ppm), after our RO system 36ppm - Maine Well Water TDS 3,500ppm, after our whole house RO system 95ppm - Colorado Well Water TDS 6700ppm (mostly Sulfate 4090ppm & Sodium 1550ppm), after our RO system 83ppm.
Before purchasing, obtain a water quality test to identify specific issues and ensure the RO system will meet your needs.
4. Water Waste Considerations
Whole house RO systems waste some water, typically with a recovery rate of 50% to 70% (meaning 1 to 2 gallons of pure water for every gallon of waste). RainDance systems feature a recirculation valve to minimize waste.
In some cases, the waste water can be repurposed for landscaping or other uses.
5. Sizing Your System
To determine the right size:
- Calculate daily water needs (e.g., 100 gallons per person, plus additional for miscellaneous uses).
- Double this number to account for continuous and future use.
For instance, if you need 400 gallons per day, an 800 GPD system would be suitable. The system's capacity is how much it can produce in 24 hours, so a storage tank and pump are necessary for consistent, high-flow delivery.
6. How RainDance Systems Work
- Pre-Filtering: Water first passes through pre-filters to remove sediment and debris.
- RO Purification: The water then enters the RO membrane, where contaminants are separated.
- Reclamation: Some of the waste water is reclaimed to reduce overall waste.
- Remineralization: The purified water is treated to add minerals back, protecting plumbing and appliances.
- Storage & Delivery: Clean water fills the storage tank. When demand arises, the pressurization pump ensures it’s delivered to your taps.
7. Manufacturing Location
RainDance Water Systems’ whole house RO systems are manufactured and assembled in the USA

NEW! Easy Automatic RO Control Panel
now included with the RainDance TSM Whole House RO Package. Our
integrated electronic controller offers automated control of
several system functions and helps prolong the life of the
RO motor and membrane, providing long-term and reliable
operation. Built with superior engineering, this control
panel eliminates confusing switches and lack of feedback
provided by other generic RO systems.
The Automatic RO Control Panel
allows the home owner to easily monitor the performance of
their system by using easy-to-read light up indicators for
common RO functions. Certain features such as the System
Flushing and Low Pressure provide added
protection by automatically cleaning the RO membrane and
shutting the RO system off in events of low water pressure.
Low water pressure can cause an RO system to cycle on and
off which can burn out the motor and increase noise level.
Other features like the RO Pump and Tank Full
keep you informed when the system is running and you have a
full tank of purified water. With automated control it has
never been easier to operate a whole house RO system!
