I bought this Bluevua Six Stage Reverse Osmosis System (100 GPD at 0.26L/Min Flow) to keep a constant flow of reverse osmosis (RO) re-mineralized water flowing into my John Ellis Living Water Machine (LWM-5) Distiller. This RO system does NOT have an auto shut off valve like other tankless reverse osmosis systems. The two hour auto shut off valve is inconvenient on other tankless RO systems because you have to turn it back on every two hours to keep a constant flow of water running into the John Ellis Living Water Machine. You can’t beat the price point for this RO system when you consider filtration performance for contaminant removal, mineral removal and a constant flow rate for the John Ellis Water Machine. When the reverse osmosis water storage tank is full, it also puts a good flow rate through my Kangen K8 Water Ionizer as well.
The system is packaged very well and protected during shipping. You will notice the package care in the video below. It was easy to get each item out of the box without having to turn the box upside down. The packaging engineer is did a fantastic job because I did not even have to turn it upside down to get the reverse osmosis system (RO) out.
Let’s first talk about the filters that come with this system. The Coconut Carbon Block Filter (CTO) removes all the additional chlorine and organic matters from the water without releasing carbon ashes. It must be replaced yearly. The Granular Activated Carbon Filter (GAC) absorbs heavy chlorine, and chlorine by-products such as chloramine, THM and TCE. It must be replaced yearly. The Polypropylene Sediment Filter (PP) removes dirt, corrosion, sediment, red worms, sand, and other physical particles. This is also used to protect the back filters. The Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter (RO) removes heavy metals, bacteria, virus, and other harmful substances. It must be replaced every two years. The Mineral Ball filter consistently releases easily absorbed minerals, all essential to the human body, into the drinking water. It puts calcium, magnesium, selenium, strontium, potassium, and healthy salts with other trace minerals back in the RO water. The Mineral Ball filter must be replaced yearly. The quality of the filters is world-class, and replacement filters are budget friendly. When replacing the filters I love the pull forward, drop and go feature that allows any customers to change each of the filters in seconds.
Using this RO system personally has reduced the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of my water from 350-400 parts per million (PPM) in the tap water down to 10-20 PPM. This is incredible performance, and I know my health is being protected when I can validate the performance myself with a basic TDS meter. I have a water production business at home, and the quality of the water I sell has also improved. My customers are always asking me what kind of setup I have because they love the taste of the water we produce so much. Well, this is part of our prefiltration setup, and now you know.
