Can we please clone Erich! We use Besco at my employer and we love him! He is very efficient, friendly, hard working and an all around nice guy! He follows our requests and instructions and is knowledgeable! A HUGE improvement to the route for sure!
Ran into Erich at a gas station and asked what Besco was, he did such an amazing job explaining to me what it is he does and what the company does! Very informative and I think I may just be interested in joining! He gave me his information to reach him... as well for when I want to get started.read more
Besco has been great! They've been providing water for my workplace for several years. Erich (not Eric... it's spelled wrong on his uniform!) has been our new delivery driver the last couple of months -- great communication, open to feedback, and gets us... what we need in our multiple locations within the building. Customer Service has always been very helpful as well when I need to call and change my order.read more
Installed new water softner for me. Arrived on time, were very friendly on the phone and in person, and were super helpful answering any questions I had about the new system. Would recommend.
Erich does a great job always tending to our companies needs and always having the needed products on the truck we need. Great amazing service all around.
We setup service to have a water cooler with delivery every month. Erich was our delivery driver and did such an amazing job with helping us figure out what we needed and helping us get setup efficiently. Explained everything very well for us. Very... satisfied with this service and have saved a lot of money and garbage by switching from water bottles to this service. Thanks Erichread more
Excellent receptionist service with helping me find new parts for a very old water purifier! Then two days later, excellent service with delivering my salt. Erich went above and beyond to get the delivery exactly where it is easiest for me to get at ... Five BIG stars!!!read more
Clyde was very friendly and professional! We would recommend this company to put in a water softener! We also had to get a RO filter placed and it’s working nicely! We can tell a difference in the taste of our water and no hard water stains!When I was... calling around to get our quote and water tested Besco had the best price and came less than a week after I called to inquire vs the other places in Battle Creek were a month out from even giving us a quote!read more
Had Besco come out to set up a water softener system for my house in Cedar Springs, from start to finish everyone from the office staff to the plumber that did the installation was professional and friendly. Their plumber that did the installation did a... very good job taking his time to ensure everything was done right and done well. He made sure to answer all of my questions and explained how the system should work and that moving forward if I had any other questions or concerns to reach out and they would be happy to assist. So far everything is working great and I can tell there is a definite improvement in my water quality.read more
I just stopped in to get clarification regarding my bill. Friendly staff explained how the billing works. I have had a unit 8n my house for years and it has preformed flawlessly. Also can't beat the rate in the Battle Creek area
This is a fantastic company. Culligan denied me and treated me like a second class citizen. I called this company because their website indicated that they offered gallons of water at a cheaper rate than Culligan.Not only did they hook me up with... water service, they approved me for a water cooler(which Culligan would not do) AND I saved $2.00 per month on the cooler and $1.00 per bottle than what Culligan would have tried getting from me.From the moment I called Besco, I felt welcome and wanted. The only downside is that the guy had to run a credit check, and he never called back to provide my status. I had to call back and get it. Not too big of an issue, but I give honest reviews so I felt it needed to be mentioned.read more

Just bought my first house with a water softener. The Besco team has been great at helping me get acquainted with it. Good communication, good prices. Also got the reverse osmosis filter for drinking water- highly recommended.
After building a new home, the initial water system recommended and installed by another company was unable to purify our water after several attempts and tweaks. Gerrit was able to identify their error and install a brand new system while providing... exceptional customer service. We have been impressed by the quality of water his system produced and the attention he was able to provide us.read more
I've been working with Gerrit at Besco. Last spring, we upgraded our system based on his analysis and recommendations. Our particular well water is very challenging to say the least, but Gerrit has worked diligently with us to achieve clear water. He... has responded almost immediately to all of our inquiries along the way, and he does not hesitate to do what it takes to solve problems. He's calm and articulate as he problem solves. I don't know what your experience has been getting contractors to work with you quickly and effectively over the past few years, but I've found it difficult to get them to return calls and schedule service in a timely manner. Gerrit and Besco, however, respond immediately and schedule service quickly. Rare quality and service! I highly recommend Gerrit and Besco.read more

Besco was recommended to us by our plumbing contractor. I worked with Connie about a year ago to have a water softener installed in our home and went back recently to purchase a plumbed-in commercial Keurig coffee brewer for our home as well. Connie is... very knowledgeable and helpful! I would recommend Besco.read more
Recently had my water softener upgraded and decided to go with Besco. From the initial visit through install and even after they have been wonderful. I highly recommend them if you're looking to upgrade.
Great company to work with and very knowledgeable. We had Connie out to test our water because of the great reference our parents gave us about their experience and water system they have through Besco. Connie took the time to tell us what we should do... for our well water and followed up with a very informative email and report of the water test. They also didn't pressure us or try to sell us systems we don't need. Overall it was a great experience.read more
I had a wonderful experience with Besco Warer Treatment. I'm a seasonal resident and didn't know there were steps to take before closing up after the summer. As a result, I had horribly hard water on my return visit, my silver hair was stained yellow,... and some of my water lines were clogged with sediment. Mike, one of their technicians, went above and beyond to help me! He advised me on how to try and salvage my softener (that's not even their brand), and Besco tested my water every five or six days to see if the hardness was changing. They could have sold me an iron filter (what I thought I needed), or told me my resin tank was shot, but they didn't. All told, it cost me $88 to get back up and running. I wasn't exactly a cash cow customer! I highly recommend this ethical company.read more
Just had a reverse osmosis installed and a water softener system. The level of service Gerrit and Connie demonstrated was OUTSTANDING!! I shopped Maynards, Bayes and Godwin and nothing could beat these guys!! From the initial call to the install it was a... class act and a great deal! Thank you.read more
I can't even tell you how many years I have had Besco deliver water to my home (and my work). It is the best tasting water period. Their service is excellent!

RO System Installation
Are you concerned about setting up your reverse osmosis system? Our expert technicians can install your RO unit professionally and efficiently.
All-in-One Water Treatment
Do you need more than clean drinking water? We can design a complete water filtration system that softens, purifies, and treats your water exactly how you want it.
What Contaminants Do Reverse Osmosis Systems Remove?
Reverse osmosis, or RO, systems effectively remove many contaminants from water, including lead and copper. RO filtration systems can remove up to 99% of dissolved solids.
According to theCDC, “Reverse Osmosis Systems will remove common chemical contaminants (metal ions, aqueous salts), including sodium, chloride, copper, chromium, and lead; may reduce arsenic, fluoride, radium, sulfate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, nitrate, and phosphorous.” RO systems can also remove microorganisms like bacteria and viruses, as well as organic compounds and substances that can affect water’s taste and smell.
At Besco Water Treatment, our reverse osmosis systems are designed to provide comprehensive water purification. “Our RO systems are equipped with advanced membranes that can remove contaminants down to 0.0001 microns in size,” says Ken Morgon, General Manager of Besco. “This ensures that our customers receive the cleanest, safest water possible for their homes or businesses.”
How Does a Reverse Osmosis System Work?
Reverse osmosis uses a special membrane with tiny pores. This system forces water through the membrane with high pressure. Only water molecules can pass through the RO membrane, while larger particles, minerals, and contaminants are left behind.
According toForbes Home, “Reverse osmosis is still the same fundamental osmosis process, it simply involves adding higher pressure to move the water molecules out of the stronger solution (the contaminated water) and into the weaker solution (the pure water).” This process removes numerous water impurities effectively, including dissolved solids, bacteria, and many chemical pollutants.
At Besco Water Treatment, we design our RO systems to be highly effective and reliable. “Our systems usually have multiple cleaning stages,” explains Ken Morgon, Besco’s General Manager. This often includes pre-filtering to remove larger particles, the main RO membrane filtration, and a final polishing step. This thorough approach ensures that the water coming out of your tap is clean, safe, and great-tasting.
How Much Maintenance is Required for a Reverse Osmosis System?
Reverse osmosis systems don’t need much upkeep to work well. You’ll typically need to change the pre-filters every 6-12 months, replace the main RO membrane every 2-3 years, and clean the system once a year. Keeping up with these tasks helps your system produce clean water and avoid problems like reduced efficiency or contamination.
At Besco Water Treatment, we make our RO systems easy to maintain. “We’ve designed our systems to be simple to use, with parts you can easily reach and clear signs that tell you when it’s time for maintenance,” says Ken Morgon. “We also offer complete maintenance plans and help to keep our customers’ systems working great without much effort.” If your RO system needs a check-up, you can contact us online or call us at (800) 964-0257 today.
What is the Installation Process Like for an RO System, and Can I Do It Myself?
The installation process for a reverse osmosis system typically involves:
Connecting the Reverse Osmosis System to the main water supply.
Installing the filtration components.
Setting up the storage tank and faucet.
According toThe Spruce, “A reverse osmosis filtration system can easily be installed by DIYers who are familiar with basic plumbing skills. However, in some scenarios, the drain or water supply line may need to be relocated, which may require a professional plumber.” Because of this, professional installation is often recommended to ensure proper setup and optimal performance.
At Besco Water Treatment, we offer professional installation services for all our reverse osmosis systems. “Our team of certified water treatment technicians ensures that each system is installed correctly and efficiently,” says Ken Morgon. “We handle each step of the RO installation process, from site assessment to final testing, providing our customers with peace of mind and guaranteeing the system’s performance from day one.” Call us at (800) 964-0257 or fill out our online form to schedule your installation today!
How Much Does a Residential Reverse Osmosis System Cost?
The total cost of ownership for a reverse osmosis system includes the initial purchase price, installation costs, ongoing maintenance expenses, and potential energy costs. While the upfront cost can vary depending on the system’s size and features, RO systems generally provide cost-effective water treatment in the long run.
According toForbes Home, “Whole-house reverse osmosis systems can cost anywhere from $750 to $7,500 depending on the size of your home.” However, “Point of use systems can cost anywhere from $150 to $1,500 depending on the type (countertop, under-sink with tank or tankless) and the complexity of installation,”Forbes Home explains. Factors affecting the total cost include water usage, local water quality, and the specific model chosen.
Besco Water Treatment sells different reverse osmosis systems for various budgets and needs, depending on your water. Ken Morgon says, “We’re clear about our prices and help customers see how valuable our systems are in the long run. Our systems save energy and last a long time, which means they cost less to run over the years. This makes our RO systems a good choice for clean water.”
How Do Reverse Osmosis Systems Affect Water Pressure and Flow Rate?
Due to the nature of the filtration process, reverse osmosis systems can potentially impact water pressure and flow rate. As water passes through the RO membrane, there is some resistance, which can result in lower water pressure at the output.
According to theUniversity of Nevada, Reno Extension, “The flow rate through the membrane is controlled by membrane thickness, size of the pores, and the difference in pressure across the membrane. There are practical limits to the efficiencies that can be obtained by changing these.” Additionally, RO systems typically produce water at a slower rate compared to unfiltered tap water, which can affect the flow rate, especially in high-demand situations.
At Besco Water Treatment, we’ve found ways to fix these common problems. Ken Morgan explains, “Our advanced RO systems use high-quality parts that work well together. This helps keep water pressure strong. Depending on your home’s water pressure, we also have models with extra pumps to combat this issue. These ensure you always get enough clean water, even if your tap water pressure is low.”
