Our Point Of View - Home RO Water Filtration System!

Let's talk about water filters for a minute. So about five years ago, no maybe seven years ago, I installed this system in my house. So it's not really something that we can show you physically because you had to pull it out of this wall. Right. But I wanted to talk about it because we were talking about filters and I wanted to express how much we love the system. It's a six phase water filter system. Okay, what you see here beside us is all six phases. I only see three canisters. You see three canisters in the bottom, three on the top. Okay, yeah I see that. Yeah. Okay, so that mounts on the on the cabinet wall under the sink. Right. And then you and then we're going to show you a diagram here of how it actually works. So you can see how you can mount it under your sink. Yeah. This system here comes with. How hard is it to mount? Not hard at all. Like do we need to bring a plumber in to get this out? No, no. It's all you can do it all yourself. It does take up a substantial amount of room under your sink because you have that little the filter system, which is about yay big, right? That goes there and then you have a and then you have your water tank, your reservoir tank. Right. Oh, reservoir tank underneath that. Okay. Because that's what that's what holds your clean water. Doesn't just do it as it goes. No, no, it does fill up that time to make sure you don't make sure you have a lot. Yeah. Available. Yeah. Enough to like, right. Yeah, double glasses of water. I know it's lots. It's a big, it's a two and a half gallon. So you're filtering this water to drink. Yes, this goes through and then this goes into. So you can do it if you can get a little faucet that goes on top of your sink like this. It comes with it or mine did. Right. And and so you can have it right there. So it's just lukewarm water or whatever the tap temperature is. Right. And that's fine. I never ended up installing that because I didn't have a hole in my countertop. Right. You didn't want to put another hole in your countertop. Well, the ground, I didn't have the drill bit, but I still, I still have the faucet. I still want to do it in the hoe cups. But we have it set up right to our fridge. So we've eliminated the filter in our fridge because we don't need that that filter. Yeah. Any longer. You take it out. What did you do? Yeah, we just took it out when it was time to change and then it didn't just bypass. Must have to flick a switch or something. No, it just pouring into the bottom of your fridge. No, it just it just bypasses it and doesn't go through the filter. I guess. I don't know. You can use it without a filter. But here's the here's the process. I'm going to take a few minutes and explain to you the process of these filters. So in in there, like I talked about, there's six phases to the filtering system. So as you can see, the water comes in. Right. And the number we see in the little orange number one there, that's your first filter. That's your your your your PPE sediment. So things like your dust, sand, dirt, mold, rust. Okay. Stuff like that. That larger particle, larger particles that takes it out. All right. And then it goes into number two. Number two is the GAC, which removes chlorine, tastes and odors. It also cleans your water so it's it's clear. It's not cloudy. Okay. So that's what would be like the secondary size particles like I guess, but also chlorine. Right. So it's starting to get the chemicals out. Okay. And taste. Yeah. So then it goes into the third. All the stuff they put in your water to protect you. You take it out. Yeah. Well, that's two. Yeah, that's not. They're not protecting. That's debatable. That's debatable. Further show. Then that's then the third filter is CTO. It removes chloramine, which is another chemical and other harmful chemicals along with it. Right. So that's now at that point in that little diagram, you see it goes up to the number four. Right. Which is this, which is the one across. Now you don't have to change this filter once every two to three years. The other ones, they say six to 12 months. But number four filter, you change every couple of years, every couple of years. And that filter is the RO membrane. Okay. So that's an important one because it produces bottle quality drinking water and it does up to 75 gallons for the day. So that's a that's a more than you can possibly drink. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Right. More than it'll pump out. You can take care of an elephant. So right. And what the cool thing is, is that filter, you don't have to change it on the regular. It's every two, three. In fact, I have minus coming up. I have to change that. How do you know when a filter has to be changed? You don't really. I mean, you just try and time it. You put on a calendar. Right. It's not like it comes out blue or anything. Right. Okay. And then so after it goes through filter number four, as you can see in the diagram, it goes over and goes into your reservoir tank and it'll sit in that tank until it's used. And then from there, it'll go into two more filters. Right. So it's post carbon. Okay. Which is number, which is number five. And that removes any possible residual taste or orders from the tank. Because you know, when it sits in a. Yeah, I thought I was going to ask you, like, I mean, it kind of tastes tinny now. Yeah. So it goes through that filter and remove that, that taste in it. And then the final filter is the pH balance filter. Right. Which brings it to your alkaline to a proper, healthy level and adds minerals to your water. Adds mineral. Yeah. The filter adds minerals. According to the information here, it gives back healthy minerals to the water. Okay. And then it goes to your fridge and into your cup. And you drink nice, clean, healthy water. Okay. Well, how expensive is this to have? I think I forget, but I don't know. I think we paid 350. I don't know what it is. No, I'm saying like, oh, it's one ninety nine right now. What I'm talking about is, is because you never really know what the prices are going to be overall. They change from time to time. Right. I'm talking about like, I think I saw a thing on there where ten cents a day. Oh. So when you think about that, what does one bottle of water cost you? A couple bucks. Yeah. Seventy five. Yeah. I remember a time where my, at school when I was a kid, when they were laughing about the fact that people were going to be buying water in a bottle. Yeah. And it was like crazy. Yeah. It sounded absolutely ridiculous. Now people do it so much that they're trying to figure out ways to stop them from doing it. Stop buying water in a bottle. But you look at that program on Netflix. There's a in Paris, they've created a whole thing. So they give you free, clean filter, like bottle quality water on the street. Right. So this is the kind of thing that you wouldn't have to go all the way to Paris for. You could do it right there underneath your sink. And at ten cents a day, for the year. You could be filling up your water bottle on a regular basis. Yeah. And the amount my wife drinks, worth it. Now you think about that and you're reducing your carbon footprint, right? You're not buying cases of water that are ending up, the plastics ending up in landfill or anything like that. You're doing your part. You're not contributing to the waste. So this is a really good way of drinking clean, pure water and making sure that you're not harming the environment. From ice spring. Now, if you don't have it, I do highly recommend you get it. You can get tests at different hardware stores or maybe even here on Amazon that'll tell you the quality of water that you're getting in your tap. Not to get into specifics, but like the city waters to clean water, to treat it. They add chemicals and different things like that. Not everybody wants to drink. Right. So this is a great way to filter that out without like a whole house filter water system that you know $3,000. This is very reasonable price and the quality that you get is.
