Crystal Quest Whole House Reverse Osmosis System

The Crystal Quest Whole House Reverse Osmosis System purifies every tap in the home, not just the kitchen sink. A commercial-grade RO unit removes up to 99% of dissolved contaminants (including arsenic, fluoride, nitrates, sodium, PFAS and high TDS that filters and softeners can't touch), fills an atmospheric storage tank, and a repressurization pump delivers the water to the house on demand.

Choose your size by daily use: 300–400 GPD for 1–1.5 bathrooms, 500–2,500 GPD for up to 4 bathrooms, 4,000–7,000 GPD for 5+ bathrooms or high-use homes. Choose Standalone if you already have a storage tank and pump, or Add Storage Tank Kit for the complete package (tank, repressurization pump and float switches).

  • Removes up to 99% of dissolved contaminants; works on well or municipal water
  • Assembled and factory-tested in the USA; ships ready to install
  • Modular, expandable design; 15–20 year service life with routine filter and membrane changes
  • Free freight shipping, 120-day returns, no sales tax outside Minnesota

How a whole house reverse osmosis system works

Point-of-use RO units make a few gallons a day under the sink. A whole house system makes hundreds or thousands of gallons a day, so it needs three parts working together:

  • The RO unit pushes pre-filtered water through membranes that reject dissolved solids. Recovery is 33–50%, so a portion goes to drain as concentrate.
  • The atmospheric storage tank (165, 220 or 550 gallons) holds the purified water. RO production is slow and steady; the tank is what lets you run a shower and a washing machine at once.
  • The repressurization pump and float switches deliver tank water to the house at normal pressure and tell the RO unit when to cycle on and off.

The Standalone option is the RO unit with pre-filtration and membranes only. The Add Storage Tank Kit options add the tank, pump and float switches.

Which size do I need?

Size by gallons per day (GPD) of purified water your household uses, with headroom for laundry and irrigation. A typical family of four uses 250–400 gallons a day at all fixtures; a well pump's flow rate also has to meet the minimum feed for the unit you pick.

System size Typical home Storage tank in kit Minimum feed flow to RO unit
300–400 GPD 1–1.5 bathrooms, or drinking and cooking supply for the whole home 165 gal (31″ dia × 56″ H) Not specified
500–2,500 GPD 1–4 bathrooms; most single-family homes land here 220 gal (42″ dia × 44″ H) 1.5 GPM (500–1,800 GPD); 4 GPM (2,500 GPD)
4,000–7,000 GPD 5+ bathrooms, estates, multi-family, small commercial 550 gal (67″ dia × 44″ H) 6 GPM (4,000); 7 GPM (5,000); 10 GPM (7,000)
Pre-treatment matters. RO membranes last longest on water that is already soft and free of iron and sediment. On hard water put a water softener ahead of the RO; on well water with iron or sulfur add an iron filter first; every system includes sediment pre-filtration. Bacteria risk? Follow the tank with a UV system. Several of the schematics below show these complete treatment trains.

Do I need the remineralizer?

RO strips minerals along with contaminants, which leaves water slightly acidic and flat-tasting and can be aggressive to copper plumbing over time. A remineralizer after the tank adds calcium and magnesium back and raises pH. It's optional for taste, recommended for whole-house use. Size it to your system: 300–2,500 GPD uses the single Big Blue alkalizer/remineralizer; 4,000–5,000 GPD the 1.5 cu ft remineralizer system; 7,000 GPD the 2.0 cu ft version (call to order).
