NOT ALL REVERSE OSMOSIS IS EQUAL

Why our reverse osmosis filter is more effective than the rest.

Most reverse osmosis systems need a plumber, permanent installation, and drilling into your countertop. They strip everything — including the minerals your body needs. We built ours differently.

1

No plumbing. No drilling. No landlord.

Most reverse osmosis systems need a plumber and permanent installation under your sink. Ours sits on your countertop and plugs into a power point. Unbox it, fill the tank, and you're drinking purified water in 60 seconds. Renters, apartments, anyone — zero installation.

2

7 stages vs the usual 3–4

More stages means more contaminants caught. Pre-filters protect the membrane, a scale inhibitor extends its life, post-carbon polishes taste, and the final stage adds minerals back. Nothing slips through. Every stage has a job — and every contaminant has nowhere to hide.

3

Minerals added back — not stripped out

Most reverse osmosis filters leave you with flat, empty water. Our final stage uses Swedish Mineral Rock to reintroduce calcium, magnesium, and potassium. The result tastes like premium mineral water, not distilled nothing.

4

Lab tested by 4 independent labs

We publish full lab results — not marketing claims. 99% PFAS removal, >99% fluoride, 100% lead and bacteria. Tested by Equinox Labs and Laboratorio Echevarne. Most reverse osmosis brands won't show you their numbers. We do.

How it works

Fill the back tank. The system does the rest.

Two tanks. One system. Zero effort. Fill the rear raw water tank from your tap. The 7-stage filtration system automatically purifies the water and fills the front pure water tank.

  • 1 Fill the raw water tank — removable rear tank, fill at the tap or pour in
  • 2 7-stage filtration runs automatically — PFAS, fluoride, bacteria, heavy metals removed
  • 3 Pure water tank fills up — ready to dispense, store, or serve

7-STAGE PURIFICATION

Every drop passes through 7 barriers before it reaches your glass.

Most reverse osmosis systems stop at 3–5 stages. Ours doesn't. Six stages remove what others can't — then stage 7 adds back the minerals your body actually needs.

01

Non-Woven Fabric Pre-Filter

What it does: Catches rust, sediment, sand, and particles down to 5 microns — anything visible to the naked eye.

Why it matters: Australian tap water carries pipe sediment, especially in older homes. Without this stage, those particles would clog the RO membrane in weeks instead of months. It's the bodyguard for everything that comes after.

02

Activated Carbon Fibre

What it does: Adsorbs chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and chemical taste/odour from the water.

Why it matters: Chlorine is added to Australian water to kill bacteria in the pipes — but you don't want to drink it. This stage removes that pool-water taste and smell, and catches chemicals that carbon block filters in basic jugs can't reach.

03

Scale Inhibitor

What it does: Prevents calcium and magnesium from crystallising and forming limescale deposits inside the system.

Why it matters: Hard water areas (most of Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth) destroy RO membranes fast. This stage keeps the membrane clean and extends its lifespan — so you're not replacing cartridges every few months.

04

Secondary Fabric Layer

What it does: Catches any loose carbon particles or fine sediment released by stage 2, ensuring only clean water reaches the membrane.

Why it matters: Carbon dust can damage the RO membrane's microscopic pores. This is the final quality gate before the most critical stage — nothing gets through that shouldn't.

05

RO Membrane (0.0001 μm)

What it does: Forces water through a semi-permeable membrane with pores 500x smaller than a virus. Removes PFAS (99%), fluoride (>99%), lead (100%), mercury (100%), bacteria (100%), microplastics, nitrates, and arsenic.

Why it matters: This is the stage that no carbon filter, no jug filter, and no basic water filter can replicate. It's the same technology used in kidney dialysis and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Most contaminants are physically too large to pass through — they're flushed away as wastewater.

KEY STAGE — PFAS & FLUORIDE REMOVAL
06

Post Carbon Fibre Polish

What it does: A final activated carbon pass that catches any remaining traces of taste, odour, or dissolved gases that made it through the membrane.

Why it matters: Even after RO, water can carry a slight flat or stale taste from dissolved CO2. This stage polishes it to a crisp, clean finish — the difference between water that's technically pure and water that actually tastes great.

07

Swedish Mineral Rock™

What it does: Natural mineral rock that reintroduces calcium, magnesium, and potassium into the purified water. Raises pH to a healthy alkaline level (7.5–8.5).

Why it matters: This is what separates us from every other RO system. Standard RO gives you dead, flat water stripped of everything — including the minerals your body needs. Our Swedish Mineral Rock adds them back naturally, so your water tastes like premium mineral water and actually contributes to your daily mineral intake. No other countertop RO does this.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What contaminants does it remove?
The short answer: almost everything you don't want. The membrane inside this filter has pores so small — 0.0001 microns — that most contaminants physically can't get through. In independent lab testing: PFAS ("forever chemicals"): 99% removed. Fluoride: over 99% removed. Lead: 100% removed — undetectable after filtration. Mercury: 100% removed. Chlorine: over 99.9% removed. E. coli and bacteria: 100% removed. We tested for over 80 contaminants. Heavy metals, pesticides, nitrates, microplastics — all reduced to well below safe drinking water limits. The full lab report is available if you want the numbers.
Does it strip out healthy minerals from the water?
Here's the thing — reverse osmosis is too good at its job. The membrane is so fine it removes almost everything: the bad stuff (lead, PFAS, fluoride) and the good stuff (calcium, magnesium, potassium). That's why some people say RO water tastes "flat" or "empty." So we added a final stage. After purification, your water passes through our Swedish Mineral Rock™ — a natural mineral layer that puts the good stuff back in. The lab results confirm it adds magnesium, calcium, and potassium — the same electrolytes you'd find in mineral water. You get the cleanest possible water, with the minerals your body actually wants. Best of both worlds.
Is it safe for babies and pets?
Yes — it's some of the cleanest water you can get at home. The filter removes 100% of bacteria, 100% of lead and mercury, and over 99% of fluoride and PFAS. What's left is pure water with minerals added back in — calcium, magnesium, and potassium. For babies, there's a 45°C setting that's ideal for mixing formula. No kettle, no waiting for it to cool. For pets, same deal — clean, safe water without the chlorine taste they often refuse.
Is it certified for safety and performance?
Yes. The system is CE and FCC certified, and independently tested to meet NSF 42, 53, and 401 standards — covering everything from chlorine taste to heavy metals to pharmaceutical traces. Independently tested by Equinox Labs and Laboratorio Echevarne (Spain). Full reports available on request. We don't ask you to trust the marketing. We show you the data.
Do I need tools or plumbing to set it up?
No. None. Take it out of the box, put it on your bench, fill the tank, plug it in. That's it. There's no connection to your tap, no drilling, no plumber. It's completely self-contained — the water goes in the back, gets filtered, comes out the front. If you can use a kettle, you can use this.
Will it fit on my benchtop?
It's about the size of a coffee machine. 30 cm high, 22 cm wide, 35 cm deep. Fits under most overhead cabinets and leaves room for your kettle (which you probably won't need anymore).
Can I customise the temperature and amount?
Yes — six temperature presets from 25°C to 95°C, and three volume settings: 150ml, 300ml, or 1 litre. Select what you want, press pour, and walk away. It stops automatically — no overflow, no watching the glass. For room temperature water, skip the temp setting. Cold drinking water, warm for baby formula, near-boiling for coffee or tea. No kettle, no guesswork.
Can I remove the water jug?
Yes — the pure water jug lifts right out. Fill it up, then store it in the fridge or serve it at the table like a pitcher. You don't have to use the dispenser every time.
How fast does it dispense water?
Up to 12 litres per hour. That's more than enough for drinking, cooking, coffee, and refilling water bottles throughout the day — even for a busy household. It's compact, but it keeps up.
How much water does it waste?
Reverse osmosis works by pushing water through a very fine membrane. The pure water passes through; the contaminants stay behind in the source tank. This system runs at a 3:1 ratio — for every 3 litres of clean water, about 1 litre of concentrate builds up. That's more efficient than many RO systems, which run at 2:1 or even 1:1. But nothing goes down the drain. You just keep refilling and filtering. Over time, contaminants concentrate at the bottom. When it's time to empty, the system prompts you — tip out the dregs, refill with fresh water, and keep going. No plumbing. No wasted water running down the sink.
How much electricity does it use?
About the same as a kettle — 2150W when heating water. When you're dispensing cold or room temperature water, it uses far less. In standby, barely anything. If you're replacing a kettle for your tea and coffee, you're not adding to your electricity bill — you're just moving it from one appliance to another.
How long does the filter cartridge last?
Up to 12 months — depending on how much you use it. The cartridge is rated for 1,200 litres. For a two-person household drinking around 2 litres each per day, that's roughly a year. Bigger household or heavier use? You'll replace it sooner. The system tracks usage and tells you when it's time. No guessing. Replacement is simple — swap the cartridge, no tools needed.
Where do I get replacement filters, and how much are they?
From us, directly. $199 per year. That's about $4 a week — the price of one bottle of water. Except this one lasts you all week.
Is there a warranty?
Yes — 2 years, fully covered. If anything goes wrong with the unit, we'll sort it. That's on top of the 60-day money back guarantee.
What if I change my mind after ordering?
You're covered by our 60-day money back guarantee. Use it for 60 days. Make your coffee with it. Brew your tea. Pour a glass straight from the dispenser. If you're not completely satisfied, return it for a full refund — we'll even send you the return label. That's how confident we are.
What's in the box?
Everything you need to start filtering: Display screen / control panel, Raw water tank (back), Pure water jug (1L), 7-in-1 RO filter with Swedish Mineral Rock™, Countertop cover, Pure water outlet, Drip tray. No extra parts to buy. Unbox, set up, start pouring.
How does it compare to a jug filter?
Different technology, different results. Jug filters use activated carbon. They're good for improving taste — reducing chlorine and some sediment. But they're limited by what carbon can catch. Reverse osmosis forces water through a membrane 1,000 times finer. That's how we remove things carbon can't: fluoride (>99%), PFAS (99%), lead (100%), bacteria (100%), and over 80 other contaminants. Then we add minerals back in, and give you hot water on demand. Jug filters are fine for taste. This is for people who want proper filtration.
