For today’s homeowners, safe drinking water is no longer a luxury—it is an expectation. When you are building or remodeling a residence, the client’s first question often involves air quality or energy efficiency. The second question is water quality. That is where partnering with a proven reverse osmosis contractor becomes mission-critical. CountBricks provides end-to-end residential construction services, and our AI-driven estimating platform makes specifying, pricing, and scheduling reverse osmosis (RO) systems effortless.
Reverse osmosis removes 95-99 % of dissolved solids, chlorine, and contaminants that standard filters simply cannot catch. In many municipalities, water hardness and residual chemicals shorten appliance life and affect taste. By including an RO system in your project scope, you:
• Deliver a clear health and lifestyle upgrade your clients can taste from the first glass
• Reduce callbacks related to ice maker and dishwasher scale buildup
• Add a high-value line item that differentiates your firm in competitive bids
CountBricks.com/services outlines multiple configuration options—from under-sink units to whole-home systems—along with real-time material pricing pulled directly into your project estimate.
Step 1: Voice-Driven Scope Capture
Our mobile app records your walk-through conversation. Mention “3-stage under-sink RO” and the system automatically adds the task, labor hours, and materials to your estimate.
Step 2: AI Blueprint Takeoff
Upload a floor plan, mark the kitchen or wet bar, and CountBricks instantly calculates required line lengths, fittings, and installation time.
Step 3: Instant Cost Reconciliation
Because equipment costs fluctuate, CountBricks syncs with national supplier feeds every hour. Your RO line items always reflect current pricing, protecting your margin.
Step 4: Contractor Assignment
Our vetted network of reverse osmosis specialists receives a notification. The app matches availability, license class, and proximity so you lock in expert labor without endless phone calls.
Step 5: Client-Ready Quote
In seconds, CountBricks generates a branded PDF summarizing system capacity, filter schedule, warranty, and the precise dollar figure.
• Incoming water pressure: 40-80 psi for optimal membrane performance
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Pre-test guides membrane selection and post-test proves success
• Daily demand: Calculate gallons per day based on occupancy and fixture count
• Drain location: Ensure code-compliant air gap and 1-1/2 in. waste line tie-in
• Access for future filter changes: Minimum 4 in. clearance beneath cartridge canisters
CountBricks checklists are embedded directly in the field app so installers never overlook these essentials.
1. Reverse Osmosis System Kit: Membrane, pre-filters, storage tank, faucet
2. Dedicated Feed & Drain Lines: PEX or copper, shut-off valves, air gap adapter
3. Labor: Rough-in, faucet cut-out, system commissioning, and TDS verification
4. Optional Upgrades: Remineralization cartridge, UV sterilizer, smart leak sensor
Because CountBricks auto-populates supplier SKUs, homeowners can cross-reference equipment specs right in their proposal, building trust and driving faster approvals.
• Coordinate with HVAC trades—shared mechanical closets save square footage
• Rough-in a 110 V receptacle near whole-home RO pumps to avoid last-minute electrical change orders
• Label shut-off valves clearly; future service calls become five-minute fixes
• Offer annual filter service packages—CountBricks schedules reminders automatically
• Photograph TDS readings before and after install; attach to the CountBricks project log as proof of quality
Local plumbing codes may require an air gap faucet or dedicated drain adapter. CountBricks keeps an updated database of regional code snippets so your reverse osmosis contractor never fails inspection. All RO membranes we specify carry a minimum three-year manufacturer warranty, recorded in the digital job folder for streamlined warranty claims.
Homeowners increasingly request app-based water monitoring. CountBricks engineers can pair RO leak detectors with the same hub controlling HVAC and lighting. That means one smartphone screen for everything, delivered without scope creep because integration hours are pre-calculated by our AI estimator.
