Some scenarios like under mount sinks and stone benchtops may require your main kitchen tap to be upgraded to a 3-way mixer tap which will provide your filtered water and unfiltered water in one tap. Please contact us to go through your setup and we will be able to advise on options.
Additional costs incurred if 3-way tap is required.
The first stage is a 5 Micron (uM) Sediment filter composed of 100% melt-blown polypropylene fibre. This cartridge helps to help protect the carbon pre-filters and reverse osmosis membrane from physical damage caused by particulate matter such as sand, dirt, silt, plant spores, and pollen. Physical contaminants such as these (which can surprisingly be found in most municipal water supplies), tend to clog up filter system components causing reduced water flow, lower osmotic pressure, diminished filtration efficiency, and ultimately, inferior water quality.
Replace Every 6 Months
The second stage is a high-grade activated coconut carbon block pre-filter. The carbon block matrix enables maximum surface area and contact time, taking the first hit to adsorb chemicals such as Chlorine (which causes damage to the membrane), along with other harmful organic chemicals and contaminants. Keeping up with regular maintenance of this pre-filter (changing it every 6 months) is crucial to protecting and extending the life of all filters that come after it.
Replace every 6 months
The RO membrane is the “engine room” of your RO system. All the crucial work is done here, so all the filters before the membrane are primarily there to protect the membrane. This membrane has a 0.0001 Micron rating and can produce up to 190 Litres (50 Gallons) of water per day.
Replace every 1-4 years depending on water quality
This filter is made up of pure Magnesium Oxide mineral media, which provides the highest adsorption of mineral content into the water over a 12-month period. The pH ranges from 9.5 (while new) and slowly decreases to around pH 8 toward the end of the filter’s life. Imparts a slight “mineral” flavour into the water.
Replace Every 12 Months
This filter ensures the maximum extraction of tastes and odours, whilst imparting a naturally “sweet” flavour into the water.
