Reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water systems are no longer a luxury add-on in Omaha’s booming residential construction market—they are a buyer expectation. From new custom homes in West Omaha to infill remodels near the Old Market, homeowners want bottle-quality water straight from the tap. CountBricks makes it simple for builders, remodelers, and plumbing subcontractors to meet that demand with precise RO installation estimates generated in real time.
• Hard water and agricultural runoff in the region drive interest in point-of-use filtration
• Health-conscious buyers view RO as a must-have wellness feature
• Competitive builders use upgraded water quality to differentiate listings

Omaha municipal supply averages 50–60 psi. Reverse osmosis membranes thrive at 65 psi, so booster pumps may be required in older neighborhoods with pressure drop. CountBricks factors pump sizing and electrical allowance automatically.
The city’s water hardness fluctuates around 180 ppm. Installing an RO without an inline sediment and carbon pre-filter reduces membrane lifespan. Through benchmark data, CountBricks auto-adds pre-filtration tasks, so your costs stay realistic.
Routing the RO reject line to a basement stack or dishwasher tailpiece changes labor hours dramatically. Voice-note the path, and CountBricks adjusts the man-hours, PVC fittings, and code-compliant air gaps in real time.
• 4-stage RO system with 4-gallon tank
• Dedicated brushed nickel faucet
• ¼-inch PEX feed line from cold-water stub
• Drain saddle to 1½-inch sink tailpiece
• Optional booster pump
CountBricks calculates:
• Material: $355
• Labor: 3.5 hrs @ $68/hr = $238
• Pump & electrical: $120
• Contingency & overhead: 12%
Total turn-key: $814
Numbers update automatically when you swap faucet finishes, select a larger tank, or remove the booster pump. No more manual spreadsheet edits.
Omaha Plumbing Code requires an air gap fitting on any RO drain. CountBricks flags the requirement and adds the air gap kit to your parts list. When the project closes, you can attach digital manufacturer warranties directly in the CountBricks project file for easy homeowner handoff.
• Always bypass the refrigerator filter to maximize ice clarity
• Mount the storage tank on a plywood shelf to protect finished basement floors
• Label the dedicated faucet “RO Only” to prevent cleaning chemical use
• Schedule first-year filter change with the homeowner and preload the cost in CountBricks
• Offer a whole-home carbon filter upsell during the estimating call

A recent Midtown Omaha bungalow renovation illustrates the power of CountBricks estimates. The general contractor planned to refinish cabinetry and upgrade appliances but hadn’t considered water quality. During the site walk-through, the project manager opened a CountBricks voice session:
1. Described a 30-inch sink base, 15-foot run to drain, and low incoming pressure
2. CountBricks suggested a compact 4-stage RO with booster pump and air gap
3. Total cost: $879, including labor and contingency, delivered instantly
The homeowner accepted within an hour, citing the health benefits and the modest upcharge compared to bottled water over five years. The contractor’s margin on that single add-on exceeded the markup on two kitchen fixtures combined.
• Predictable Profit: Every RO component is pre-priced and regionally adjusted, eliminating guesswork
• Faster Schedules: Integrated lead-time alerts flag back-ordered membranes before they derail closing dates
• Transparent Communication: The homeowner-friendly PDF spells out scope, so there are zero “what exactly did I buy?” emails
