The filter you never think about

Under-sink reverse osmosis that runs on tap pressure alone, with one combo cartridge where others use three.

Four stages, no moving parts

  1. 01 / 04

    Line pressure in

    Tap pressure does the work: no pump, no socket. The minimum supply pressure differs by model; the finder checks yours against it.

  2. 02 / 04

    Sediment and carbon

    One cartridge, the Combo filter (F-210), takes out grit, rust and the chlorine that would wear the membrane.

  3. 03 / 04

    The membrane

    The membrane lets water through and sends dissolved solids to drain. Feed water must stay under 800 ppm.

  4. 04 / 04

    Out to the tap

    Into a tank and a dedicated faucet, or straight to the outlet on direct-flow models. The model decides which.

How it works

Mains pressure does the work a pump does in a conventional reverse-osmosis system. Nothing in the chain below needs power, and only two parts of it are ever replaced.
