Light-Commercial Grade for Large Homes

Whole-Home Reverse Osmosis

Bottled-water quality at every tap in the house. The Lion Package is a light-commercial grade RO system designed for large homes, restaurants and labs — 2,000 gallons a day, installed across Yavapai County.

The system we install

CreekWell Whole-Home RO — light-commercial grade

The machine at the heart of the Lion Package is Charger’s AEC-2000, a light-commercial reverse osmosis unit built for car washes, restaurants, labs and medical offices. We install it in homes when the owner wants commercial-grade reliability and capacity at every tap — not just at the kitchen sink.

In plain terms: it makes about a gallon and a half of purified water a minute, around the clock, into a storage tank the whole house draws from. Most homes do not need that — the question “Is this overkill for a house?” near the bottom of this page is answered honestly.

  • Light-commercial scale — designed for large homes (4,000+ sq ft), restaurants, labs and medical offices.
  • Stainless steel membrane housings and an IP65 inlet solenoid (sealed against dust and water jets) — built to outlast residential units.
  • Goulds TEFC motor with a stainless multi-stage pump — a totally enclosed, fan-cooled motor: quiet, reliable, serviceable.
  • Dual TDS meters show total dissolved solids going in and coming out, in real time.
  • Removes up to 98.5% of total dissolved solids — it feels and tastes like bottled spring water at every tap.

SKU: AEC200011 · Made in USA · the two-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s warranty. Piping is copper or American-made PEX-A, and most other parts are American-made.

The Complete Package

Everything that arrives on install day

This is not a box on a pallet. It is a commissioned system — equipment, storage, pump, plumbing and first-year service, quoted as one flat number before anything starts.

The machine itself

The Lion Package RO unit · made in the USA · 22″ × 26″ × 53″

  • 2,000 gallons per day (1.39 GPM) of RO water — whole-house, not one faucet.
  • 98.5% nominal rejection across a 100-series 4040 membrane.
  • 304 stainless steel membrane housings — not plastic.
  • Goulds TEFC motor with a stainless multi-stage pump.
  • Dual TDS meters, so you can see it working, in and out.
  • A computer controller with 5 LED status indicators.
  • Dual 0–100 psi pre-filter gauges; 0–300 psi pump and concentrate gauges.
  • An IP65-rated stainless inlet solenoid and a powder-coated aluminum frame.
  • Handles feed water up to 2,000 ppm TDS.

The 200-gallon storage tank — included

RO makes water steadily rather than instantly, so a storage tank is what turns it into whole-house pressure on demand. A 200-gallon Norwesco vertical tank is included in the package, not an add-on.

  • 30″ diameter × 72″ tall — chosen because 30 inches fits through a standard doorway.
  • UV-15 stabilised resin for UV resistance.
  • Vented lid and outlet fitting standard.
  • FDA-grade resin, rated for potable water.

Need more storage? Larger tanks — 250, 300, 500, 1,000 gallons and up — are available where access allows. The limiting factor is almost never price; it is whether the tank can physically reach the install location. That gets checked on the walkthrough, before anything is ordered. Sized to your access, not a catalogue: 200 gallons included, larger available.

Also in the price

First-year maintenance

Filter changes, membrane check, TDS verification and system service for the first full year — already paid for. No surprise service invoice at month six.

Loop plumbing

The tie-in, the storage plumbing, and the pump that delivers the stored water to the house.

Two-year workmanship warranty

Plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the equipment.

Specification

Whole-home RO specs

For you, or anyone you ask to check it. The first three lines matter most: how much it makes, how much of the water it takes in comes out as RO water, and the saltiest water it can handle.

On a well, read the second line twice. At 35–45% recovery, every gallon of RO water sends roughly 1.2 to 1.9 gallons to the drain. That is normal for reverse osmosis, but on a well with a slow recovery rate, or a septic system, it is worth talking through before you buy.

Countywide

This price is the same anywhere in Yavapai County

On a system this size the value carries the travel, so the installed price does not change with your ZIP code — Prescott, Sedona, Seligman or the far corner of the county, it is the same flat rate. Neil confirms access and timing on the call.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked

Can you come out right now?

Not for new work. We are rebranding and adding Arizona contractor licenses. New work restarts the first week of November, once the licenses are issued. Jobs already on the schedule are not affected.

Is this overkill for a house?

For many homes, honestly, yes — and you will be told so.

This is light-commercial equipment: stainless housings, a Goulds pump, 2,000 gallons a day. It earns its price in large homes (4,000+ sq ft), houses on well water with high TDS, properties where an under-sink unit cannot keep up, or where somebody wants RO quality at every tap rather than one faucet. If a $829 under-sink RO and a softener would solve your actual problem for a fraction of this, that is the recommendation you will get.

How much does a whole-home reverse osmosis system cost installed?

$14,999.99 flat, installed — The Lion Package, the same anywhere in Yavapai County.

That price includes the Whole-Home RO system (stainless steel, Goulds pump, dual TDS meters), the 200-gallon storage tank, the delivery pump, all parts, the loop plumbing and the first year of maintenance. The system produces 1.39 GPM (about 2,000 gallons per day) of RO water at every tap in the home, removing up to 98.5% of total dissolved solids.

What size home does the Whole-Home RO system fit?

Large homes — typically 4,000 sq ft and up — or any home with high water demand.

That means 4 or more bathrooms, a large family, hot tubs, or filling pools and ponds. It produces 2,000 gallons per day. For homes under 3,500 sq ft with normal use, the under-sink RO at $829 installed delivers RO drinking water at the kitchen sink for much less.

What does the Whole-Home RO actually remove?

Up to 98.5% of total dissolved solids.

That includes arsenic, lead, fluoride, chromium-6, nitrates, sulfates, sodium, and most pharmaceuticals and PFAS compounds. The 100-series 4040 thin-film composite membrane is rejection-rated at 98.5% nominal. For best results, a softener and a catalytic carbon pre-filter go upstream — CreekWell configures the whole stack. One exception worth knowing on a Yavapai County well: arsenic III has to be converted before any RO membrane catches it well, which the arsenic removal page explains.

Why does a whole-home RO need a storage tank at all?

Because reverse osmosis produces water steadily rather than instantly.

The unit makes about 1.39 gallons a minute — roughly 2,000 gallons a day — which is plenty for a household over 24 hours but not enough to feed three showers at once straight off the membrane. The tank banks that production so the house draws from stored RO water at full pressure whenever it wants it. Without storage you would have RO water and no pressure, which is why systems sold without a tank tend to disappoint.

Is the storage tank really included, or is that extra?

Included — a 200-gallon Norwesco vertical storage tank is part of the installed price, not an add-on.

It measures 30″ in diameter by 72″ tall, and that 30-inch diameter is deliberate — it is narrow enough to pass through a standard doorway, which is what makes an indoor install possible in most homes. Larger tanks (250, 300, 500, 1,000 gallons and up) are available where the access allows, and that gets assessed on the walkthrough before anything is ordered.

What does the first year of maintenance cover?

Filter changes, membrane inspection, TDS verification in and out, and system service across the first full year — already paid for within the installed price.

RO systems need their pre-filters changed on schedule or membrane life suffers, so covering year one means the maintenance actually happens rather than getting deferred. After the first year you can either book service as needed or arrange an ongoing plan.

What ongoing maintenance does the Whole-Home RO need?

Pre-filters every 6–12 months, a new membrane every 3–5 years, and a yearly check.

The RO membrane lasts 3–5 years depending on incoming water quality. The annual TDS check and pressure calibration take about 30 minutes. Year one — filter changes, membrane check, TDS verification and system service — is included in the installed price. After that, parts and service are quoted at the current price when they are due; ask for today’s figures before you buy and you will get them.

Does the CreekWell Whole-Home RO come with a warranty?

Yes — the manufacturer’s warranty on the equipment, plus the two-year workmanship warranty on the install.

If anything plumbing-related fails during the first 24 months, it is fixed free. Membranes typically have a 3–5 year service life depending on water quality, and the check-up at the end of the first year monitors TDS and pressure.

How long does installation take?

Most whole-home RO installs take 1 to 1.5 days.

Day one, the Whole-Home RO system, the storage tank and the delivery pump go in and the loop plumbing is tied in. Day two, if it is needed, is for electrical inspection or final calibration. The date is set around your household schedule.

What if my loop plumbing run is complicated?

The flat rate covers it either way — you get a written scope before any work starts.

Older Prescott homes with complex routing, slab penetrations, or finished-basement work take longer, and that is on the installer, not on you.

Do you install whole-home RO outside the Prescott area?

Yes — the install travels well inside the county, at the same flat rate as Prescott.

Chino Valley, Paulden, Dewey-Humboldt, Mayer, Sedona, Cottonwood, Camp Verde, Cornville and the outer county all get the same price. Call 928-228-5770 with your address.
