Advanced multi-stage purification that removes PFAS, lead, chlorine, fluoride, and 99% of dissolved contaminants from Toronto tap water — delivering clean, mineralized, alkaline drinking water from your kitchen tap.
Toronto's municipal water originates from Lake Ontario and undergoes treatment at city facilities before reaching your tap. While the water meets regulatory standards, it retains disinfection byproducts from chlorine treatment, trace amounts of heavy metals in areas with aging infrastructure, and emerging contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that current municipal processes were not originally designed to address.
Reverse osmosis (RO) technology provides one of the most thorough methods of point-of-use water purification available to homeowners. An RO membrane operates at a molecular level, allowing water molecules to pass while blocking dissolved solids, heavy metals, organic compounds, and microorganisms. When combined with pre-filtration and post-treatment stages, a well-designed RO system delivers water that is purified, remineralized, and pH-balanced.
For Toronto residents concerned about contaminants that pass through municipal treatment — including PFAS, lead from older service lines, fluoride, and disinfection byproducts — a Sorso reverse osmosis system installed under the kitchen counter provides a continuous supply of clean, alkaline drinking water. Pair it with a whole-home filtration system for complete household protection.
Each stage targets a different category of impurities, building a comprehensive barrier between contaminants and your glass.
Captures rust particles, sand, and large sediment from the water supply, protecting the delicate RO membrane from physical damage and extending its operational lifespan.
Adsorbs chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and pesticide residues. This stage also removes the chemical taste and odor that many Toronto residents notice in their tap water.
The heart of the system. This semi-permeable membrane rejects dissolved solids, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury), PFAS, fluoride, and microplastics down to 0.0001 microns — far smaller than bacteria or viruses.
After purification, water passes through a remineralization cartridge that adds back calcium, magnesium, and trace minerals in optimal ratios, restoring a naturally alkaline pH between 7.5 and 8.5.
Available in the Pro model, this final stage infuses the water with dissolved molecular hydrogen (H₂), a powerful antioxidant molecule studied for its cellular health and hydration benefits.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are synthetic chemicals found in Lake Ontario water that do not break down naturally. Current Canadian drinking water guidelines do not regulate all PFAS compounds. Sorso's RO membrane reduces PFAS by over 99%, providing protection that municipal treatment does not currently guarantee. Learn more about how our reverse osmosis systems address emerging contaminants.
Thousands of Toronto homes built before the mid-1950s — particularly in neighborhoods like the Annex, Cabbagetown, and Riverdale — still have lead water service lines connecting to the city main. Even low-level lead exposure is a health concern, especially for young children. RO filtration reduces dissolved lead by over 99%, offering a reliable safeguard while the city's lead pipe replacement program continues across the GTA.
Chlorine and chloramine are added to Toronto's water supply to prevent bacterial growth during distribution. While necessary for public health, these disinfectants create byproducts (trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids) and give water a chemical taste. The activated carbon and RO membrane stages in our systems work together to reduce both the disinfectants and their byproducts for cleaner-tasting drinking water.
Toronto's municipal water is fluoridated at approximately 0.5 to 0.7 mg/L. Some homeowners prefer to manage their fluoride intake through dental care rather than water consumption. Standard carbon filters do not reduce fluoride, but Sorso's reverse osmosis membrane achieves 95%+ fluoride reduction. After purification, our remineralization stage adds back beneficial minerals without reintroducing fluoride.
Understanding the differences between common filtration options helps Toronto homeowners choose the right level of protection.

A common criticism of traditional reverse osmosis is that it strips all minerals from water, producing "flat" or slightly acidic purified water. Sorso addresses this with a dedicated remineralization cartridge that adds calcium, magnesium, and potassium in balanced ratios. The result is naturally alkaline water with a pH between 7.5 and 8.5 — without the use of electrolysis plates or chemical additives.
The Pro model adds a molecular hydrogen enrichment stage. Dissolved molecular hydrogen (H₂) is a selective antioxidant that has been studied in over 1,000 peer-reviewed papers for its potential to support cellular health, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance athletic recovery. Unlike electrolysis machines, Sorso generates hydrogen through catalytic mineral contact, producing consistently dissolved H₂ levels. Discover more about our alkaline and hydrogen water systems.
For homeowners who currently purchase bottled alkaline or hydrogen water, an under-counter Sorso system provides the same water quality at a fraction of the ongoing cost, while eliminating single-use plastic waste. Learn about the science behind remineralizing reverse osmosis water.

Reverse osmosis removes dissolved solids, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury), PFAS compounds, fluoride, chlorine, chloramine, disinfection byproducts, microplastics, pesticide residues, and pharmaceutical traces. Sorso's RO membrane operates at 0.0001 microns, blocking contaminants far smaller than bacteria or viruses while allowing pure water molecules to pass through.
Modern RO systems, including Sorso's, are significantly more efficient than older models. Our systems achieve a purified-to-waste ratio that minimizes water loss. The concentrate water (sometimes called "reject water") can be diverted to a garden hose or used for non-potable purposes. The amount of water used is comparable to a few extra toilet flushes per day, making it a practical choice for Toronto households.
Traditional RO systems that lack a remineralization stage can produce water that tastes flat due to the absence of dissolved minerals. Sorso systems include a dedicated mineral cartridge that adds back calcium, magnesium, and potassium after purification, producing naturally alkaline water with a smooth, refreshing taste and a pH between 7.5 and 8.5.
A certified Sorso technician typically completes under-counter RO installation within 60 to 90 minutes. The process involves connecting to your cold water supply line under the kitchen sink and installing a dedicated filtered water faucet (or connecting to your existing tap). No countertop drilling or cabinet modifications are required for most installations.
Sorso recommends replacing pre-filters and post-filters annually (every 12 months). The RO membrane itself typically lasts 2 to 3 years depending on water quality and usage volume. We offer convenient filter subscription plans and our team provides reminders when replacement is approaching. Learn more about filter replacement signs.
