Brio Aquus TROE600COL (Tankless, Black)

How much space does this system require under the sink?

The Brio Aquus measures 13.2cm wide by 42.2cm high by 46.2cm deep, making it significantly more compact than traditional reverse osmosis systems with storage tanks. Most standard kitchen sink cabinets can accommodate this unit easily. You'll also need access to a 110V electrical outlet and space for the included faucet installation.

What contaminants does the 4-in-2 filtration system remove?

The system effectively removes dirt, rust, sand, iron, chlorine, cysts, salts, volatile organic compounds, total dissolved solids and heavy metals including lead and arsenic. The reverse osmosis membrane filters particles as small as 0.0001 microns. The 3-stage composite filter handles larger contaminants whilst the RO membrane provides the final purification stage.

How often do the filters need replacing and what's the cost?

Filter replacement frequency depends on your water quality and usage. The smart faucet display tracks filter life automatically. You'll need the Brio RPFTROE600COLPC 3-stage filter and the Brio RPFTROE600COLRO reverse osmosis filter. The 3-stage filter typically requires more frequent replacement than the RO membrane due to handling initial contaminant removal.

Can I install this system myself or do I need a plumber?

Installation typically takes under an hour and most homeowners can complete it themselves. You'll need to drill a hole in your sink for the faucet, connect the water supply line, install the drain saddle and plug into an electrical outlet. The system includes all necessary components: PE pipes, T-fitting, drain saddle and starter kit.

What's the difference between the two water outputs on the faucet?

The dual-lever faucet provides filtered water and reverse osmosis water. Filtered water flows at 2.5 litres per minute and is perfect for cooking and washing produce. Reverse osmosis water flows at 1 litre per minute and provides the purest water for drinking and filling bottles. The RO water has undergone complete purification through the membrane.

How does the 1.5:1 waste ratio compare to other systems?

Traditional reverse osmosis systems often waste 3-4 gallons for every gallon of pure water produced. The Brio Aquus wastes only 1 cup for every 1.5 cups of pure water, making it significantly more efficient. This improved ratio reduces water bills and environmental impact whilst maintaining excellent filtration performance.

What happens if my water has high TDS levels above 500 ppm?

The system supports maximum TDS levels of 500 ppm. If your water exceeds this level, the system may not perform optimally and filters may require more frequent replacement. The smart faucet displays current TDS levels, helping you monitor water quality. Consider testing your water before installation to confirm compatibility.

Does the system require electricity and what happens during power cuts?

Yes, the system requires a 110V electrical connection to operate the pump and smart faucet display. During power outages, the system won't produce water. However, any water already in the lines remains available. The system automatically resumes normal operation when power returns, with no manual reset required.
