The High Performance 5 Stage Quick Change Alkaline RO Water Filter is a small and compact quick-change reverse osmosis system featuring a full 5-stage filter configuration that creates pure ph Neutral (pH 7) to alkaline water (pH 8). The quick-change system simplifies filter changes allowing almost anyone to do their own filter changes – no more expensive call-out fees as you simply twist the filters to remove and install - it's that easy!
The first stage is a 1 Micron (uM) Sediment filter composed of 100% melt-blown polypropylene fibre. This cartridge helps to protect the carbon pre-filters and reverse osmosis membrane from physical damage caused by particulate matter such as sand, dirt, silt, plant spores, and pollen. Physical contaminants such as these (which can surprisingly be found in most municipal water supplies), tend to clog up filter system components causing reduced water flow, lower osmotic pressure, diminished filtration efficiency, and ultimately, inferior water quality. Changing this filter every 6 months is vital!
The second stage is a high-grade granular activated carbon pre-filter. This type of loosely-packed carbon enables a high level of water flow through the system, whilst "taking the first hit" to absorb harmful organic chemicals and contaminants. Keeping up with regular maintenance of this pre-filter (changing it every 6 months) helps to extend the life of all filters that come after it, including the reverse osmosis membrane.
The third stage is a 5-micron high-grade coconut carbon block pre-filter. Similar to the GAC filter, but with a unique carbon block matrix for maximum surface area and contact time, this special carbon cartridge takes the biggest load of contaminant removal, prior to the membrane. Replace every 12 months.
The last stage features the finest grade of Japanese activated coconut carbon to ensure the purest taste, which then passes through calcite (CaCO³) alkalising media to raise and buffer the final pH to between 7-8, without causing hardness. Note that upon installation, a new Calcium Alkalising cartridge may register an initial pH higher than 8, but it will quickly balance out.
The system requires specific working conditions be met before installation. If these conditions are not met, the system may not be suitable for the application and may not function as specified.
Feed Water Conditions Min Max
Inlet Pressure 400 kPa* 700 kPa
Temperature 4.5°C 38°C

*Minimum inlet pressure is 400 kPa for the system to function correctly. Running the system lower than 500 kPa will cause the rejection rate to decrease. If you are not able to supply 500 kPa to the system, it is suggested to purchase the H1-302B system which includes a booster pump.
