Product Description

Enjoy great quality purified drinking water from the EcoHero 4 Stage Reverse Osmosis - Portable system.

This system includes a handy 15L bottle and tap adaptor to simply DIY install (no plumbing required), making it a perfect solution for people who are renting or on the move. It can be conveniently wall-mounted or placed on a bench for easy access to great tasting, healthy, purified drinking water.

WHAT IS REVERSE OSMOSIS?

Of all methods to purify water, the process of reverse osmosis is one of the most advanced and effective. More than standard water filtration, the intense water purification process of reverse osmosis removes almost all contaminants found in drinking water, including total dissolved solids (TDS) by forcing water through the ultra-fine pores of the membrane.

Better for the environment (and your home’s water usage), this system is fitted with the Pure Water Systems EcoHero-50 membrane. The EcoHero-50 is the latest in membrane technology, providing up to 300% improved wastewater efficiency when compared to other reverse osmosis membranes.

Unlike standard carbon water filtration, the ultra-fine 0.0001 micron EcoHero-50 membrane removes a minimum of 90.8% of total dissolved solids (TDS) from water. This reverse osmosis system significantly reduces organic and inorganic compounds such as fluoride, viruses, bacteria, herbicides, pesticides, nitrates, algae, phosphates and more. The result is great tasting, healthier and purified drinking water, conveniently at the turn of a tap.

Difference between 4 and 5 stage reverse osmosis systems?
A Deionising Cartridge is added to the EcoHero 5 Stage Systems, to provide an additional stage of filtration to remove the most contaminants possible from your water, achieving a purity level similar to distilled water and as low as 0 ppm TDS.*

This cartridge contains tiny beads made of ion exchanging resin, and works as a TDS collector after the intense reverse osmosis process. Even after the reverse osmosis process, water can still contain small amounts of soluble substances called Totally Dissolved Solids (TDS), which cannot be removed with mechanical filtration.

Using the chemical process of deionisation, any tiny amounts of ionised (electrically charged) TDS not removed by the EcoHero-50 membrane, adhere to the Deionising Cartridge’s resin beads in a chemical ion exchange.

4 Stage Reverse Osmosis System includes:

  • 1 Micron pre-filter cartridge
  • 10 Micron carbon block cartridge
  • Membrane cartridge
  • Post carbon  or  pH neutraliser cartridge

WHAT IS PH NEUTRAL WATER?

Optional final stage:
While reverse osmosis is excellent for removing contaminants (such as heavy metals like cadmium, arsenic and chromium), healthy minerals and salts can also be removed leaving your water acidic.

The Pure Water Systems pH Neutraliser Cartridge is an optional final stage of filtration; it refreshes the water in the holding tank, raising the water to a consistent pH level of approximately 7.5. 

Whilst reverse osmosis systems offer the highest level of water purification, many minerals can be removed in the process, which can leave the water mildly acidic. The mix of calcite and granular activated carbon in this cartridge raises the pH to a level considered neutral, whilst the granular activated carbon effectively removes any remaining unpleasant taste and odour.

For great potential health benefits (such as improved gut and kidney health), you can raise your water’s pH balance to a level considered alkaline by adding healthy minerals back to your water with a Remineraliser Cartridge.

    Easy setup. It does filter slowly. It can take over an hour to fill up the container but worth it for proper filtration.
