Does " 3-Stage, Ultra Filtration process" include RO filter?

this model is not the RO model. it includes filters, yes...but it is NOT a RO Unit. Please read the description. Thank you, -J

it is my opinion that your R/O membrane is not working properly. I have only used Watts (Phoenix) filters in the past, and when my system was new, it reduced TDS by 92% or more. After many years, I replaced the membrane with a new 75GPD filter, and my rejection ration was 94%. I expect this new filter to last at least 10 years, but it cost $115.00. It would appear to me you got what you paid for, and the results seem to be very poor.

I'm not sure about the o-ring. My system did not come with a filter, so it was fortunate that I had ordered a spare filter. A plumber installed it for me, but I assume whatever was needed came with the system... other than the filter, of course!

Required, not necessarly, but the R O filter will waste more to drain than it can actually absorb. Highly recommended.

I was going to install RO in my house until I found out that RO water eats copper tubing (which was already installed to the icemaker and remote sink) so I went to a micro filter instead. RO removes so much from water that it is extra corrosive to all types of metals. This I learned from an industrial chemical engineer.

Not to my knowledge. We are using RO water because our well water is terrible!

Back flushing or cleaning the Trio is easy and is recommend to be done in a clean environment such as a kitchen sink. After dis-assembly, simply run clean water through the top and bottom of the UF hollow fiber membrane. You will most likely see some sediments brake loose from the membrane. After a few minutes of running clean water through the filter shake it dry and place in a solution of vinegar to ensure no cross contamination. The carbon filter isn't the same as pet store filters. It must be replaced with the cartridge from Renovo.

The first stage is a hybrid sediment and carbon filter and stages 2 and 3 are the RO membranes. We do offer a high capacity pre-filter called the Pre-Evo which is recommended if you are using more than 150 gallons per week average.

the ro will filter out flouride...it took my total desolved solids of 570ppm to 50ppm

I don't remember. i know when i was researching there was more than one layer in the explanation picture on their web site . . . so at least two typse of filtering. i think it is partical & carbon at the least, but i am not sure. i am over due for a replacement filter - it lasted quite a while. i am not unhappy with this persay, but i like the taste of the water from the piter i used to keep in the fridge better.

Actually, I have a revers osmosis system in my house for drinking water and I didn't use the filter. I was told by my plumber if I filtered my RO system it will slow down my water pressure. The RO water is already great and I didn't need another filter. If I did use it though it would be easy to change. I have an extra filter.

We don't have an under-the-sink RO system, but do have a single filter in our pump house for our incoming water supply before it goes through our water softener system in the house. We previously had a similar filter under the kitchen sink and used the same filter for it.

The RO filter may be a 2 year filter. Check your paper work or you can look them up on http://amazon.com, they have all the replacement filters for the iSpring 6 stage 75 GPD UV systems

Hi Keith, I thought the same thing. I do not know why that is included on the instructions. The filter that comes with the pump is all that you need.

I don't know, but any reverse osmosis system that I know of, filters more impurities than any other system. In my review I suggested calling the manufacturer. They are real people who answer the phone, there is nothing automated, and they can answer that question.

Yes. Use RO or drinking water and run threw zero water filter. PH up to 7.4 using ph meter to verify.

Yes it is the last step to the water processing, although in the 20 last years i have used one I have not needed the filter. It is there to smooth out the taste using carbon. This is very much a personal preference
