NU Aqua Platinum Series 100GPD RO (7 Stage Alkaline UV, With Pump)

How much water does this system produce daily?

The system produces 100 gallons per day, which is double the capacity of standard residential reverse osmosis systems. This high output makes it suitable for larger families or households with heavy water consumption. The actual production rate depends on water temperature and pressure, with optimal performance at 77°F and 60 PSI.

What contaminants does the 7-stage filtration remove?

The system removes 99% of over 1000 contaminants including arsenic, chlorine, fluoride, lead, bacteria, viruses, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and dissolved solids. The multi-stage process combines sediment filtration, carbon absorption, reverse osmosis membrane technology, UV sterilisation and alkaline remineralisation for comprehensive water treatment.

Is the booster pump necessary for all installations?

The booster pump is essential for maintaining consistent performance, especially in homes with water pressure below 40 PSI. It ensures optimal membrane function and faster tank refill times. The pump operates automatically when water is drawn from the system and helps extend filter life by preventing membrane damage from pressure variations.

How often do the filters need replacing?

Filter replacement schedules vary by stage: sediment and carbon pre-filters every 6-12 months, the RO membrane every 2-3 years and the UV lamp annually. The alkaline post-filter typically lasts 12 months. Actual replacement frequency depends on your water quality and usage volume. The included PPM meter helps monitor system performance.

What's included with the 120-day trial period?

The 120-day home trial allows you to test the system risk-free. If unsatisfied, you can return the complete system for a refund. The trial period begins from delivery date and covers the full system including all components. This extended trial period demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the product's performance.

Can I install this system myself?

Yes, the system is designed for DIY installation taking under one hour. Colour-coded tubing and quick-connect fittings eliminate the need for specialised tools or plumbing experience. The package includes a comprehensive installation DVD and manual with step-by-step instructions. Professional installation is available if preferred.

How does the UV sterilisation stage work?

The UV stage uses ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms by damaging their DNA. This chemical-free sterilisation method provides an additional safety barrier without affecting water taste or adding byproducts. The UV lamp operates automatically when water flows through the system and requires annual replacement.

What maintenance is required for optimal performance?

Regular maintenance includes filter replacements according to schedule, annual UV lamp replacement and periodic system sanitisation. The included PPM meter helps monitor water quality and indicates when maintenance is needed. The system's modular design makes filter changes straightforward without tools or professional service calls.
