Express Water Alkaline Ultraviolet Reverse Osmosis Filtration System – 11 Stage RO UV Mineralizing Alkaline Purifier with Faucet and Tank – Mineral, pH + – 100 GDP with Pressure Gauge & Clear Housing

This was super easy to install. The water truly tastes great now as well as coffee. It’s noiseless with plenty of fresh clean water to accommodate a family of five. Express Water has made this very easy to install.

Excelente producto. Lo use como reemplazo a un purificador viejo que solo hacía filtrado y cloración. Este es muy fácil de instalar (quien invento las conexiones rápidas es un genio). Es modular y fácilmente se identifica donde va casa pieza, todo va por colores. Excelente sabor del agua. Lo único malo es que el sistema de RO desperdicia mucha agua (mas o menos produce 5 litros de rechazo por 1 litro purificado), pero esto es un problema común con todos los sistemas de RO y es parte del diseño. En mi caso, en vez de drenarlo al drenaje (como lo indica el manual) lo dirigí a un contenedor afuera para usar esa agua de rechazo para el trapeador y el riego del jardín.

Reviews are great. My nephew has had it for years and highly recommended it. I looked at several different RO systems and got this 100 Gallons Per Day reverse osmosis system with UV filter. Whole house was too expensive and too hard on my septic tank. This installed fairly easily. The flushing procedure was lengthy, but now we have worry free drinking water for cooking, coffee, ice, and pets. Our well water is high in iron with a bad taste and there is always a concern for bacteria with well water. This Express water UV reverse osmosis system gives us great tasting water with the security of a UV filter to kill bacteria. The UV filter leaked badly on startup. I had to remove the quartz tube and reposition the Oring which stopped the leaked. The tank leaked from the top fitting until I tightened it a little more until the leak stopped. The 3 big filters on the bottom all leaked. It said the O rings were pretreated with food grade silicone lube, so I didn't add any. If I had to do it again I would put a film of food grade lube to ensure a good seal. I had to tighten all 3 large filters a lot to stop the leaking. The spigot handle was loose and dripped on the counter, but after a few days it tightened up and stopped leaking. I guess the internals needed to swell up with water and make it tight. Overall we are very happy and excited about this system. It will pay for itself in 5 months for the cost of water we were buying to drink.

No tan fácil de instalar como dice la publicidad, es laborioso pero no complicado. En mi caso no hubo suficiente presión de agua en la tubería de mi casa, de tal forma que tuve que comprar una bomba especial para sistemas de ósmosis inversa (a otra compañía pues el fabricante ya no las vende) asi como un switch de alta presión que automatiza el funcionamiento de la bomba. El sabor del agua es completamente diferente y supera cualquier agua embotellada del mercado. La tranquilidad de no tener que beber agua que haya venido envasada en una botella de plástico y los tóxicos que liberan al agua. Casi no puedo creer que ya no tenemos el permanente y engorroso ritual de comprar garrafones de agua. La empresa es muy amable y servicial si tienes preguntas durante el proceso de instalación y después. muy contento con este producto

This is the 11-stage RO filter setup with UV sterilization and alkaline remineralization stages. Everything is pre-packaged in a way to ease installation but kind of a pain if you're planning to add a permeate pump or branch out the lines before/after the remineralization stage (to get regular RO water for things like a coffee maker or other cooking needs while getting mineralized water for drinking). Overall, while it's assembled rather well, it's still quite bulky. I was surprised that the 4-gal tank isn't the most imposing component. The 3-stage primary filters at the bottom of the kit dominate the space. The RO, UV, ALK, and PAC units mounted horizontally on top are quite a bit smaller. That said, the entire kit will fit in the cabinet under a common double sink under the one WITHOUT a garbage disposal. If you have a garbage disposal under one sink, space will be tight (at best) on that side so plan to install on the opposite side. I'm pretty bad at plumbing but installation was actually rather easy thanks to most of the work already being done with the 1/4" tubing and quick-connect fittings. It took me MAYBE 90 minutes start-to-finish (plus the fill/flush process afterwards). The hardest part was connecting the tubing to the included faucet which, in hindsight I could have made easier by fishing the tube up through the retention nut, the countertop, the top washer then onto the faucet stem before securing the faucet to the countertop. Instead of the included drain "saddle" I opted for a "Y" tube that fits inline with my dishwasher drain into my garbage disposal - no cutting required. I opted to add a permeate pump, as well. That requires some re-routing of some of the pre-installed tubes but isn't all that complicated once you understand how it works and where each tube comes from and goes to. Overall, that reduces the wastewater by a significant amount (sorry - I don't have before/after stats). It also reduces the total fill time from 2-3 hours to about 35 minutes and makes flushing/priming new filters a LOT quicker. I did have one faulty connection in the system that needed to be fixed and it was one of the factory-installed ones. The "T" that feeds the PAC (the final filter) and the tank wasn't seated correctly and leaked straight away. I simply removed the tube, re-cut the end, and reinstalled it - job done! No leaks of any kind after that. I also opted to NOT physically mount the unit inside the cabinet. I know filter changes are going to be a pain so I simply left it sitting on the bottom of the cabinet with enough slack in the tubes to remove it to the floor in front of the cabinet. From there, I can disconnect all my tubes that go back under the sink and re-work the filters up on the counter or in the sink, as needed. The municipal water supply where I live is actually already pretty good. I just wanted better tasting water. We've used a drip-type filter for a few years and it does an okay job but I'm still finding a slightly "off" taste occasionally. This RO system TOTALLY removes any hint of weird odors/tastes and is better than many bottled waters I've had. Fiji is as close as it gets. Get yourself a glass pitcher, fill it regularly, and keep it chilled in the fridge. OR get a "T" tap off the feed to the RO faucet and feed it into your in-fridge water supply for the best ice and water you'll ever taste.
