Reverse osmosis is a way to clean and filter your drinking water. It uses a special filters containing membranes with tiny holes in them. And as water goes through those membranes, they block molecules and other larger particles. That way only pure, toxin-free water reaches your lips.

RO systems remove a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals lead and arsenic; chemicals like chlorine and fluoride; PFAS (or "forever chemicals"); microplastics; and a whole host of particulates like dirt, salt, and rust.

In addition, this countertop RO system has a UV-C light as an additional treatment stage. That way your water's clean, tastes good, and it's safe to drink.

Absolutely! This RO system includes a UV-C light as an additional treatment stage. Homeowners on well water sometimes choose to add UV treatment as a supplemental measure. Plus it offers 7 additional stages of filtration to get rid of unhealthy minerals, heavy metals, and chemicals. That way you can hydrate worry-free.

Moreover, RO systems can be used with heavily treated city water to reduce contaminant levels, too. So no matter what your water source is, this reverse osmosis system will filter it fast.

Not at all! In fact, to install this countertop RO system you just fill the tank and plug it in. It's that easy!

It's also got an auto-clean feature to get rid of buildup every day. Plus the filters only take 3-5 seconds to replace, and only need to be replaced ever 6-12 months.

There are two major differences between RO filters and run-of-the-mill filters (like pitcher and carbon filters) we commonly see:

1. This RO system removes 99.9% of contaminants from your water, including bacteria and microorganisms. Standard filters only reduce salt and chlorine, essentially masking bad water instead of improving it.

2. RO systems eliminate a huge range of contaminants, from microorganisms to microplastics and everything in between. Standard filters can only reduce a limited amount of contaminants, mostly lead, chlorine, and dirt.

Absolutely. You see, your water tastes and smell funny because of contaminants. Specifically chlorine, organic compounds (like dyes), particulats (like salt and dirt), and other impurities.

Reverse osmosis completely scrubs your water of those contaminants before you drink them. That way you're left with delicious, odor-free water instead of "filtered" water with those compounds still in it.

Reverse osmosis removes minerals from water, but that's not a bad thing. And there's two reasons for that:

1. Reverse osmosis eliminates the risk of too many minerals in your water, beneficial or not (and most aren't).

2. Only a minuscule amount of your minerals are taken in by water. Most times you get them from your food. So while it's important to consume beneficial minerals, you don't need them in your water.

Thankfully, you'll only need to replace filters every 6-9 months, and the UV bulb lasts for years. Plus, replacements are inexpensive and take only 3-5 seconds to install.

Of course! Especially when it's paired with UV sterilization like our system.

Reverse osmosis is an effective method of reducing dissolved solids and chemical contaminants in drinking water. RO systems produce high-quality filtered water for drinking and cooking.
