When you need the most comprehensive solution to protect your family’s health, this drinking water filtration system is the one for you! Sometimes drinking water supplies have particularly difficult contamination problems to solve, and the Multipure AquaRO clearly is up to the challenge. Combining complementary filtration technologies into one effective solution, the AquaRO brings you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that everything harmful that may be present has been removed from your family’s drinking water.

RO systems can generally remove over 70 contaminants, more than any other single water filtration system. Reverse osmosis (RO) filters generally remove more impurities, including hard-to-remove fluoride. However, they also remove natural minerals in the water. 

The Multipure AquaRO reduces the largest number of contaminants of any water filtration system reviewed. This system can reduce up to 82 contaminants from your drinking water. It uses a five-stage process to filter your water, and the filters have a lifespan of approximately six months. This drinking water filter system will fit nicely underneath your kitchen sink and comes with an included faucet.

I love this RO water filter system, because it can reduce up to 82 contaminants from your drinking water. These contaminants include cysts, chlorine, lead and asbestos. However, the system cannot reduce various bacteria from your drinking water, I suggest using a 0.5 micron Carbon block filter to remove bacteria, before the RO unit. In the Balearic and surrounding Mediterranean islands I would also suggest a water softener and then a whole house filter at the mains or pump site. You can go without the softener, but them you will clog up the subsequent filters faster. Yes, it's crazy but this is what we need to get clean water. The RO unit is also important to get rid of the high salt content common in these parts.

This system uses five stages to filter your water. It includes three pre-filters, an RO membrane and a post filter. Each stage of the water filtering process will remove different contaminants from your water, including heavy metals and chemicals. The three pre-filters on this product have a lifespan of approximately six months, while the RO membrane can last two to three years.

There is a standard faucet included with this system, but there are no faucet options. ear warranty, which is the average warranty you will find on this type of product. 

You must add the essential minerals back into my water, but it's an extra step you must remember to do for naturally healthy water. RO filters also tend to be more expensive, but worth it and essential in some places, like Palma.

The Multipure AquaRO combines Multipure’s renowned carbon block filter technology with reverse osmosis technology, making it one of the most technologically advanced drinking water systems in the world today. The AquaRO is certified under NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 58 to reduce Nitrate/Nitrite, Arsenic V, Chloramine, PCBs, Toxaphene, Chlordane, Fluoride, Lead, Mercury, Copper, and much more.

The AquaRO uses no electricity and the impurities removed through the reverse osmosis process are flushed down the drain. The processed water is conveniently stored in a 3-gallon pressurized tank that is small enough to fit neatly under your sink. The system combines three pre-filters, an RO membrane, and Multipure’s Aquaversa as a post-filter to provide you the highest quality water possible. The end result? The freshest, cleanest possible drinking water for you and your family.

Multipure’s AquaRO features 5 stages of filtration to deliver performance that no other device can provide. By combining Multipure’s superior carbon block filter technology with state-of-the-art reverse osmosis technology, you will receive the highest quality drinking water possible.

Here’s how it works:

  • Stage 1: Sediment Pre-Filter – The Sediment Pre-Filter screens out particles down to 5 microns, improving the appearance of your water.
  • Stages 2 & 3: Carbon Block Pre-Filters – Next, water passes through two more 5-micron Carbon Block Pre-Filters to ensure that chlorine and other materials that cause your water to taste and smell bad are reduced.
  • Stage 4: RO Membrane – The RO Membrane is a high-production, 50 gpd, thin-film composite semi-permeable membrane that separates unwanted inorganic impurities, such as nitrates, fluoride, etc. from your water. This hyperfiltration membrane reduces salts, certain heavy metals, and other dissolved impurities.
  • Stage 5: Carbon Block Post-Filter – The last stage of the water treatment process, a polishing filter, provides extensive final contaminant removal not addressed in the initial filter stages. Multipure’s densely compacted carbon block filter mechanically intercepts any remaining particles as small as 0.5 micron (sub micron) as well as electrokinectically adsorbs particles by attracting the negative ions of certain contaminants. In addition, the Carbon Block Post-Filter has a large surface area for chemical/physical adsorption, reducing many different organic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and certain heavy metals.
