RO Membrane
Reverse-osmosis membrane with flow-restrictor kit — rejects a minimum 95% of total dissolved solids (96% on the XHR), typically closer to 99%. The polishing stage carbon can't match.

Highlights
- Choose your recovery: standard 1:4 (HDLE) or high-efficiency 1:1 (XHR) pure-to-waste ratio. Both ship un-flushed and shelf-stable until install — no special handling required.
- Includes the flow-restrictor kit for your specific membrane. Rated for roughly 12 months of service on typical municipal water; replace once treated-water TDS begins to climb.
- Order once or subscribe to save with free shipping — a fresh membrane auto-ships each year, with nothing to track.
Details
The reverse-osmosis membrane is the stage that separates true RO from carbon-only filtration: it pushes water through a semipermeable film that rejects a minimum of 95% of total dissolved solids — 96% on the high-recovery XHR — and typically closer to 99% in service, catching dissolved minerals, salts, and metals that carbon can't touch. Each membrane ships with a flow-restrictor kit and is sized to its housing: 50 GPD for the 8-inch Mini RO System, 100 GPD for the 12-inch Mini RO System XL. Choose your pure-to-waste recovery — standard 1:4 (HDLE) or high-efficiency 1:1 (XHR) — and plan on roughly a year of service on typical municipal water, monitoring treated-water TDS to judge when it's time to replace.

The EPA required testing for these chemicals — but isn't enforcing limits until 2029
PFAS — synthetic "forever chemicals" linked to cancer, immune suppression, and developmental harm — have turned up in tap water across the country. A quality filter is the one thing you can control today.
67 million
Americans drink PFAS-contaminated water above the EPA's limit.
Of 10,299 systems tested, 1 in 7 are over.
4 ng/L
The EPA's legal limit for PFOA.
A 'non-detect' just means a result below 4 ng/L — not zero. More sensitive lab tests can measure lower.
363 utilities
Are actively treating for PFAS today.
The EPA gives the rest of the utilities until 2029 to implement a purification strategy.
Questions, answered
What contaminants do our water systems remove?
Our water systems are engineered to significantly reduce or eliminate a wide range of contaminants, providing you with cleaner, safer water.
Sediment filters: designed to remove sediment, dirt, rust, sand, and other particulate matter from the water. They improve water clarity and protect downstream filters, such as carbon filters and RO membranes, from premature clogging.
Carbon filters: effectively remove chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that can affect taste and odor.
Reverse-osmosis (RO) membranes: highly effective at removing a broad spectrum of contaminants, including lead, arsenic, fluoride, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, cysts, and PFAS.
How often do I need to replace the filters/membrane?
Filter replacement frequency depends on your water usage and local water quality. Maintaining optimal water quality requires replacing filters regularly. Typically, we recommend these general guidelines:
Pre-filters: every 3–6 months. These filters handle the initial removal of larger particles and chlorine, protecting your RO membrane.
RO membrane: every 12 months. Keeping your membrane in great condition is critical to obtaining high-quality pure water.
Your actual replacement schedule may vary based on your water usage and the specific quality of your local water supply. We strongly recommend regular water testing to confirm your water quality and fine-tune your filter replacement schedule for peak performance.
How do I install my water system?
Each water system comes with a detailed installation manual. We also offer links to online video tutorials to assist with the install. Customer support is available to help guide you through the process if you would like to send us a message. If you're uncomfortable with small DIY installations, we recommend finding a professional installer in your area.
Do your water systems require any maintenance?
Beyond filter replacement, minimal maintenance is required. Periodically wipe down the exterior of the system and check for any leaks. Refer to your system manual for any specific maintenance instructions.
Where can I purchase replacement filters?
You can purchase replacement filters directly from our website, general retailers, or by contacting our customer service team. We recommend ordering replacement filters directly from us to ensure that you get the right replacement filter every time.
Can I return my water system?
Yes, you can return your water system if you are not satisfied. Due to the nature of the product, the water system must be unused and be returned within 30 days of purchase. Please refer to our Terms of Service policy for full details.
