When it comes to providing clean, great-tasting drinking water in the workplace, not all filtration systems are created equal. While many offices rely on basic carbon filters or bottled water deliveries, reverse osmosis (RO) stands out as the gold standard for purity, performance, and sustainability.
At Document Solutions, we help businesses switch to bottleless water coolers powered by reverse osmosis technology, delivering safer, fresher-tasting water right from your office tap.

What Is Reverse Osmosis—and How Does It Work?
Reverse osmosis is a multi-stage filtration process that uses pressure to push water through an ultra-fine membrane. This membrane captures contaminants at the molecular level, removing impurities that other filters can’t.
A professional-grade RO system includes:
– Sediment pre-filters that catch dirt, rust, and larger particles.
– Activated carbon filters that reduce chlorine and chemical taste.
– A semi-permeable RO membrane that removes microscopic contaminants.
– A post-filter and storage tank for clean, ready-to-dispense water.
The result is crystal-clear water that’s 99% free of impurities, ideal for employee hydration, breakroom coffee machines, and customer-facing areas.
Why Reverse Osmosis Outperforms Other Filtration Methods
Many offices use carbon-only filters or bottled water deliveries, but these approaches can’t match the purity and consistency of reverse osmosis.
| Feature | Carbon Filtration | Bottled Water Delivery | Reverse Osmosis (RO) |
| Removes PFAS & heavy metals | ❌ | ✅ (varies) | ✅ Excellent |
| Reduces micro-contaminants | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ Excellent |
| Reduces total dissolved solids (TDS) | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ Excellent |
| Long-term cost efficiency | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ Excellent |
| Eco-friendly / low waste | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ Excellent |
With reverse osmosis, your team gets purified water on demand, without the clutter, deliveries, or waste that come with bottled water.
How TDS Testing Confirms Water Quality
One of the simplest ways to understand your office water’s quality is through a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) test. This quick assessment measures the number of dissolved particles (such as minerals, metals, or contaminants) in your tap water.
– High TDS levels can indicate unwanted substances like lead, chlorine, or PFAS.
– Low TDS levels after RO filtration show that your system is performing optimally.
At Document Solutions, we offer TDS water testing to help you understand what’s really in your office water, and show you how reverse osmosis can make it cleaner, safer, and better-tasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How often should RO filters be replaced?
Most filters last 6–12 months, depending on usage and water quality. Document Solutions handles scheduled maintenance so you never have to worry.
- Is reverse osmosis better than carbon filtration?
Yes. While carbon filters remove taste and odor issues, RO goes further by filtering out microscopic contaminants like PFAS, lead, and nitrates.
- Can reverse osmosis save money compared to bottled water?
Absolutely. RO systems eliminate the recurring cost of deliveries, storage space, and plastic waste, providing long-term savings and convenience.
Better for Your Team, and the Environment
Switching to a bottleless reverse osmosis cooler doesn’t just improve employee wellness, it supports your sustainability goals. By removing the need for plastic jugs and frequent deliveries, you reduce waste, fuel consumption, and emissions.
This aligns perfectly with many organizations’ ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments, showcasing your dedication to employee health and environmental responsibility.
