Whole-home reverse osmosis

Yes, for repairs and emergencies under $1,000.

Call or text 928-228-5770, Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm; a priority call gets a same-day visit when Neil is free. Whole-house systems wait for the contractor licenses (what the licenses change).

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

This is light-commercial equipment: stainless housings, a commercial vane pump, about 2,000 gallons a day. For a café, salon or office: commercial reverse osmosis. 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.

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

It is a reference price: the Lion is not installed until CreekWell’s contractor licenses are issued.

That price includes the AdvanTech AES-2000 (stainless housings, vane pump, dual TDS meter), a storage tank sized to your doorways, the delivery pump, float switch and pH neutralizer, all parts, the loop plumbing and the first year of maintenance. The system makes about 1.38 GPM (about 2,000 gallons per day) of RO water at AdvanTech’s test conditions, with 98.5% nominal rejection of dissolved solids. Not included: a softener ahead of it (usually needed), the electrical circuits and outlets, replacing copper plumbing after the RO, lab water testing, and septic or drain upgrades, if needed.

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

That means a large family or heavy daily use. It produces about 2,000 gallons per day, and sends about as much to the drain, so it is not a way to fill a pool or pond: that doubles the water used, and on a septic system the reject water goes to the septic tank. 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; between 3,500 and 4,000 sq ft, it depends on how much water the household uses.

About 98.5% of dissolved solids — the nominal rating, at AdvanTech’s test conditions, before the neutralizer adds some minerals back.

RO in general reduces lead, copper, chromium, chloride and sodium, and may also reduce arsenic, fluoride, radium, sulfate and nitrate (CDC). No certification covers a whole-house RO’s contaminant claims — NSF/ANSI 58 is written for under-sink units. The two 100-series 4021 membranes are rated 98.5% nominal for the system. For best results, a softener goes upstream: AdvanTech rates the unit on softened water, and the softener is not in the package. 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.

Because reverse osmosis produces water steadily rather than instantly.

The unit makes about 1.38 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.

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

The size is set by your doorways. The 200-gallon tank measures 30″ in diameter by 72″ tall, so it needs a clear opening wider than 30 inches; a door’s clear opening is a few inches narrower than its size, so measure the narrowest door on the way in. The 300-gallon tank on Neil’s September 2026 supplier quote is about 35½″ across and will not go through a 30″ door. Larger tanks (500, 1,000 gallons and up) are made, but they are not part of this package’s price; whether one fits is assessed on the walkthrough before anything is ordered.

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.

Pre-filters on a schedule set from your TDS and pressure readings, a new membrane every 3–5 years on average, and a yearly check.

The RO membranes average 3–5 years depending on incoming water quality (Virginia Tech Extension). 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 priced at the current price when they are due; ask for today’s figures before you buy and you will get them.

The install carries the two-year workmanship warranty.

The equipment carries its makers’ terms: AdvanTech publishes no system warranty; the controller has 1 year, the DAB pump 2 (limited), the Norwesco tank 3, and the pH neutralizer’s mineral tank 10, with its media and parts 1 (the supplier).

If the installation work fails within two years, it is put right free (the terms are on the About page). Membranes average a 3–5 year life depending on water quality (Virginia Tech Extension), and the check-up at the end of the first year monitors TDS and pressure.

Plan on 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.

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.

Yes, once CreekWell’s contractor licenses are issued — 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.
