Under Sink Reverse Osmosis Filter

From: AquaTru

The AquaTru Under Sink Alkaline is an under sink reverse osmosis filter with an alkaline mineral stage. It fits in the cupboard below the kitchen sink and feeds its own tap on the worktop. Water goes through four stages before it reaches your glass.

A pre/carbon filter takes out sediment and chlorine. The reverse osmosis filter removes lead, arsenic, fluoride and other dissolved metals. The last stage is a pH+ VOC carbon filter that adds minerals back. It is certified by IAPMO to NSF/ANSI standards to reduce 84 contaminants, including PFAS and microplastics.

The storage tank holds up to 1.7 US gallons, about 6.4 litres, ready to pour. A leak detector sounds an alert and shuts off the cold water line by itself. The control panel shows filter change alerts and battery status.

Product Features

Under sink RO system in 4 stages - Tap water passes a pre/carbon filter, a reverse osmosis filter and a pH+ VOC carbon filter. Each stage takes out something different. Sediment, rust and chlorine go first. The membrane then removes dissolved metals such as lead and arsenic. The result is clean water straight from the faucet. Certified to remove 84 contaminants - IAPMO certifies the system to NSF/ANSI standards. The list covers lead, chlorine, chloramine, fluoride, arsenic, chromium 6, microplastics and PFAS, the so-called forever chemicals. Independent certification matters because it means a third party has tested the claims, not just the maker. Alkaline pH+ mineral stage - Reverse osmosis strips minerals out along with the contaminants. The final pH+ VOC filter adds healthy minerals back and raises the pH. People who find plain RO water flat often prefer the taste. It also takes out volatile organic compounds that a membrane can miss.

Leak detector with auto shut-off - A sensor under the unit watches for water. If it finds a leak it sounds an alert and closes the cold water line to the system. That stops more water flowing into the cupboard. It gives peace of mind for a system that sits out of sight below the sink. Under sink tank size - The RO storage tank holds up to 1.7 US gallons, about 6.4 litres. That is enough for drinking, tea, coffee, ice and cooking through the day. The tank refills on its own from the mains, so there is no jug to top up by hand. Long filter life and alerts - The pre/carbon filter lasts up to 6 months. The VOC carbon filter lasts up to 1 year and the RO filter up to 2 years. The control panel tells you when each one is due. Filters use a quick twist-and-seal fit, so changes take minutes.

FAQs

What is alkaline reverse osmosis?

It is reverse osmosis with a mineral stage at the end. The RO membrane removes contaminants and most minerals. An alkaline filter then adds minerals back and lifts the pH. In this system that job falls to the pH+ VOC carbon filter, which is stage four of the four.

What is the AquaTru under sink tank size?

The RO storage tank holds up to 1.7 US gallons. That is about 6.4 litres of filtered water ready to pour. It refills by itself from the cold water supply. A family can draw water through the day without waiting for a batch to filter.

Does it need a plumber to fit?

It connects to the cold water line under the sink and needs a hole for its own tap. The box has the tubing and an installation kit. Many people fit it themselves. If you are not sure about drilling a worktop or sink, a plumber can do it quickly.

Which contaminants does it remove?

It is certified by IAPMO to NSF/ANSI standards to reduce 84 contaminants. These include lead, chlorine, chloramine, fluoride, arsenic and chromium 6. It also covers microplastics and PFAS forever chemicals. The pre/carbon stage deals with sediment and taste first.

How often does each AquaTru under sink filter need replacing?

The pre/carbon filter lasts up to 6 months. The VOC carbon filter lasts up to 1 year. The reverse osmosis filter lasts up to 2 years. Real life depends on how much water you use and how hard it is. The panel warns you when a change is due.

What happens if it leaks?

The leak detector sounds an alert straight away. It then shuts off the cold water line to the unit by itself. That stops a small drip turning into a flooded cupboard. You can then check the fittings and press reset on the control panel.

Is the AquaTru under sink alkaline better than a countertop AquaTru?

It suits busy kitchens that use a lot of water. You get a tap on the sink and a tank that refills itself. The countertop models need no fitting but you fill them by hand. Both use the same four-stage reverse osmosis idea.

What comes in the box?

You get the under sink manifold, the pre/carbon filter, the RO filter and the pH+ VOC filter. There is also the RO storage tank, a polished chrome faucet, tubing and the installation kit. A TruPure RO sanitiser for cleaning the tank is included. It has a 1-year warranty.
