I bought this Bluevua RO100 ROPOT Countertop Reverse Osmosis System to be able to offer to our water customers a world class RO system that produces excellent drinking water for years to come. We evaluate new systems, and if they pass our rigorous testing then we recommend them to our customers. This countertop RO system is perfect for people who want clean drinking water without having to do any special plumbing under their kitchen sink. It’s the perfect size and it looks nice on your counter. It will generate a lot of interest from your friends and family that see it, and you can take pride knowing you are helping the environment by not having to constantly buy bottled water.
Let’s first talk about the filters that come with this system. The Polypropylene Sediment Filter (PP) removes dirt, corrosion, sediment, red worms, sand, and other physical particles, and it must be replaced yearly. The Coconut Carbon Block Filter (CTO) removes all the additional chlorine and organic matters from the water without releasing carbon ashes, and it must be replaced yearly. The Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter (RO) removes bacterial, virus, antibiotics and other harmful substances, heavy metals and pesticide residues from water, and it must be replaced every two years. The Post Carbon Filter (PCF) improves the taste of the water and has to be replaced yearly. The quality of these filters is world-class, and replacement filters are budget friendly. When replacing the filters you pull the filter toward you from the bottom, twist, and then replace it with a new one (8 seconds to replace each filter).
The countertop RO system has three volume settings that let you know when a 1/2 liter, 1 liter, or 1.5 liters of clean reverse osmosis water has been produced. You simply fill RO tank with tap water and then push the round water-making button on the front of the machine, and it will begin the process of producing reverse osmosis water.
The first time you use the countertop system you need to clean the glass carafe and the water tank with hot water. To clean out the protective liquid in the four filters you need to fill the RO tank to the max level and run the water through the machine 4-6 times. After each time throw the water away in the carafe and repeat the process. During the first two rounds, the raw water in the tank will automatically be filled into the filters, therefore there may be no water coming out in this phase. For the first 3-5 rounds, it is normal that the pure RO water may turn black due to activated carbon particles.
Using this countertop RO system will produce you drinking water with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measurement between 15-30 parts per million (ppm) depending on your water source. This TDS level is the same as excellent quality drinking water you would pay for in the store that is created in a similar way through an industrial reverse osmosis process. Using this countertop RO system, I know my health is being protected when I can validate the performance myself with a basic TDS meter.
