2026 Best Drinking Water Systems for Central Ohio Homes - Image 1

Clean, great-tasting water is one of the most important features of a healthy home — especially in Central Ohio where families in Columbus, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, New Albany, and beyond want peace of mind about what they drink and cook with every day. While tap water in our region is generally treated, a dedicated drinking water system that provides enhanced filtration can significantly improve flavor, clarity, and safety.

At Clean Water Ohio, we install only the best water purification systems from industry leaders AO Smith and Water-Right. Below we break down two top reverse osmosis drinking water systems — the AO Smith AORO-100 and the Water-Right InterFlo® QuadPro SST — so you can decide which is right for your home.

Why Reverse Osmosis Should Be Your Top Choice for Drinking Water

Reverse osmosis (RO) is the gold standard for drinking water purification. It combines multiple stages of filtration to remove dissolved impurities that typical carbon filters can’t catch — including heavy metals, nitrates, fluoride, and more. RO systems deliver crisp, clean water right from a dedicated faucet in your kitchen.

Here’s what RO does for your household:

- Significantly improves taste and odor
- Reduces contaminants at a molecular level
- Lowers your reliance on bottled water
- Provides safe water for cooking, coffee, and ice

AO Smith AORO-100 Reverse Osmosis System — Reliable Daily Performance

The AO Smith AORO-100 is an excellent choice for any Central Ohio kitchen looking for reliable, everyday purified water. This system uses multi-stage reverse osmosis filtration to remove dissolved particles and impurities before delivering clean water to your faucet — typically up to 100 gallons per day.

Key Features

Multi-stage filtration removes heavy metals, chlorine, sediment, and more
Includes pre-filter, membrane chamber, post-filter, and final polish
Storage tank ensures on-demand supply whenever you need it
Ideal for families who want consistent quality for drinking and food prep

The AORO-100 delivers dependable performance and cleaner water right where you need it most — at the kitchen sink. Its practical design and capacity make it a great starting point for homeowners transitioning to high-quality drinking water.

Water-Right InterFlo® QuadPro SST — The Best Drinking Water System Available

For Central Ohio homeowners who want best-in-class performance with advanced efficiency and convenience, the Water-Right InterFlo® QuadPro SST stands out as a top choice.

What Makes the QuadPro Exceptional?

High Efficiency
This system delivers three glasses of purified water for every one glass of wastewater, which is far better than traditional RO waste ratios, helping conserve water and lower overall system waste.

Tankless Design
The QuadPro’s tankless setup saves valuable space under your sink and provides on-demand purified water without waiting for a tank to refill.

Superior SmartFlow® Technology
Patented SmartFlow® Technology maximizes efficiency and helps extend filter life while maintaining consistent water delivery.

Advanced Filtration & Certification
The QuadPro is independently tested and certified to standards that ensure it reduces contaminants like lead, fluoride, nitrates, copper, selenium, and turbidity — giving you confidence in your drinking water quality every day.

Long Filter Life With Easy Maintenance
With long-lasting filters and easy-to-replace cartridges, maintenance is straightforward and less frequent compared to many traditional RO systems.

Benefits You’ll Notice at Home

- Cleaner-tasting water with fewer odors and impurities
- Sleek under-sink installation with space savings
- LED alerts so you know when it’s time to replace filters
- Lower operational waste and better long-term efficiency

For families across Central Ohio who want the best water possible, the QuadPro is a clear leader among reverse osmosis systems.

Choosing the Right System for Your Ohio Home

When deciding between the AO Smith AORO-100 and the Water-Right InterFlo® QuadPro SST, consider how you use your water:

AO Smith AORO-100 — Great daily performance for families who want dependable purified water from a certified RO system with simple operation.
Water-Right InterFlo® QuadPro SST — The top choice for homeowners prioritizing efficiency, advanced technology, space savings, and superior filtration results.

Either system will outperform basic faucet filters and provide a healthier alternative to bottled water for cooking, drinking, and beverages.
