What is Reverse Osmosis?

Oaks Wellness Water’s whole-house water filtration system cleans every drop of water in your home before it gets to the tap. A normal system has:

A sediment pre-filter to catch dirt, sand, and rust
GAC carbon filter to get rid of smells and chlorine
Carbon block filter to get rid of smaller chemicals and VOCs
Optional filters for iron, hardness, or scale in the media
Polishing filter to make the taste and clarity better

This setup gives you clean water for showers, laundry, cooking, and appliances. Our mineral-friendly method keeps the water fresh and healthy without making it taste “flat,” so it’s better than regular filtration systems by nature.

Benefits of RO for Homes in Kitchener

A water filter system for the whole house makes all the water in your home cleaner and safer. Some of the benefits are:

Water that is cleaner for bathing, cleaning, and cooking.
Less chlorine, chemical taste, and smells.
Your pipes will have less rust, dirt, and sediment.
More safety for appliances like washing machines and heaters.
Less buildup of scale on taps, tiles, and fixtures.
Water that feels softer on skin and hair

It gives you great-tasting water in every room, helps with maintenance, and keeps your plumbing in better shape. It’s a useful upgrade for any Kitchener home.

Kitchener Water Profile (What Homeowners Should Know)

Multiple independent sources indicate that Kitchener’s water hardness is high to very high:

According to one trade site: “Kitchener Water Hardness: 17-38 grains per gallon.” Aquatell
Another summary:
“Kitchener has some of the hardest water in all of Canada. The city ranges between 17-36 gpg (291-615 ppm).”

The drinking-water supply for Kitchener (via the Region of Waterloo Integrated Urban System) is sourced primarily from groundwater wells, much of it from the Waterloo Moraine aquifer system. Wikipedia

The main takeaway is that Kitchener’s municipal water is fully compliant, safe, and consistently monitored, with no safety violations or exceedances in 2024.

The most relevant homeowner concern remains natural hardness from the area’s mineral-rich aquifers — a normal condition, not a safety issue.

You’ll see that your hair is softer, your appliances last longer, the water tastes better, and you can relax knowing that your home is safe from damage caused by hard water.

Is installation included and how long does it take?

Yes, professional installation is always included. Our trained professionals take care of everything from beginning to end. Most installations take between one and two hours, depending on how your home’s plumbing is set up.

Does the system remove chlorine, lead, and other contaminants?

Yes. Each Oaks system is made to get rid of harmful substances and make your water better overall, but each one has a different job:

The Oaks PureHaven™ Whole-Home System cleans all the water that comes into your home. It conditions the water to protect your skin, hair, plumbing, and appliances while removing chlorine, hardness (calcium and magnesium), and sediment. This means that the water will be softer, the showers will be cleaner, and there won’t be any more buildup on glass or faucets.

The Oaks VitaSource™ Drinking System cleans your cooking and drinking water right at the source, getting rid of up to 99.9% of pollutants like lead, chlorine, fluoride, PFAS, and microplastics. You don’t need to buy bottled water because it gives you clean, healthy, great-tasting water right from your tap.

One of the best things about Oaks systems is that they don’t need much upkeep.

How often do I need to replace filters or maintain the system?

The Oaks PureHaven™ Whole-Home System:

This system is self-regenerating and doesn’t need any maintenance because it uses our Chlor-A-Soft™ technology. It cleans itself, so you won’t ever have to change the filters or media.

Oaks VitaSource™:

The Oaks VitaSource™ Drinking System uses multi-stage reverse osmosis filtration to get rid of up to 99.9% of the bad stuff in your drinking water. It’s easy and cheap to replace the filters, usually once a year, depending on how much water you use and how clean it is.
