I bought this Bluevua's ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis (RO) System to be able to offer to our water customers a world class countertop 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.

I am absolutely thrilled to own Bluevua's ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis (RO) System.  This system is absolutely streamlined and elegantly designed. The dark blue color adds to the system’s elegance. It has curved, smoothed, and beveled edges which make it look like an expensive countertop RO system. System comes with a 1.2-liter borosilicate glass carafe and a glass infuser for making fruit infused water. Included are six different recipes for making fruit-infused water, and the system setup instructions are written well and easy to follow. This system is slightly smaller from Bluevua’s regular ROPOT system but is it still large enough to make enough RO water for an entire family of 2-3 people.  You simply plug it in, flush the six-stage single filter, and start making clean RO water for the entire family with no plumbing needed!

This countertop RO system has a single filter which has all six stages needed for producing high quality RO water.  The great thing about a single filter is that changing it is a breeze as opposed to the inconvenience of having to change six different filters on a tank RO system.  The first stage is 5-Micron Polypropylene Fabric to remove large particles like silt, sand, rust, and dirt.  The second stage is Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Filter to absorb chlorine and chloramine.  The third stage is a Food Grade RO Antiscalant to eliminate mineral scale to prevent the scaling and fouling of the RO filter membrane.  The fourth stage is a 1-Micron Polypropylene Fabric to remove smaller particles to further protect and extend the lifetime of the RO membrane.  The fifth stage is the Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter to remove lead, arsenic, bacteria, virus, fluoride, pesticides, and 1000+ other harmful contaminants.  The sixth stage is a Post Carbon Filter to condition and further improve the taste of the water.

The ROPOT Lite RO system has a real-time filtered water quality indicator (e.g. real-time Total Dissolved Solids measurement).  There is a button on the LED interface to pick the volume of water to produce – 1.2L or 0.65L with a water volume indicator.  ROPOT Lite RO system has a filter life indicator, so you know when to change the ROPOT Lite water filter, and there is a manual flush button so you can flush the system when a new filter replacement is installed.

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.

Using this countertop RO system will produce you drinking water with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measurement between 5-15 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. Save your money, stop buying bottled water, and protect the environment by investing in the Bluevua ROPOT Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis System.

Unboxing Bluevua Six Stage Reverse Osmosis System (100 GPD at 0.26L/Min Flow)

< Back To All Blogs

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.

I bought this Bluevua X6-500GPD Five Stage Tankless Reverse Osmosis System to be able to offer to our water customers a world class RO system that produces excellent drinking water for years, so you don’t have to continue to buy bottled drinking water. We evaluate new systems, and if they pass our rigorous testing then we recommend them to our customers. This system is a high-capacity flow system can fill a cup of water in only ten seconds.

This system is elegantly designed, and hookup is absolutely streamlined. The inlet water line (white), drain line (black), and clean water line (blue) all plug into the side of the RO system, so they stay untangled when the system is completely hooked up. All parts are included for a seamless hookup in under thirty minutes. The only prerequisite for any RO system is you must have an electrical outlet under the sink to plug the RO system into. Most of the time you will have this because your garbage disposal and dishwasher need an electrical outlet too.

The system is packaged very well and protected during shipping.  All accessory parts are easily identified, and the instructions are clearly written and easy to follow so system setup can be done with ease with minimal plumbing experience.

Let us first talk about the filters that come with this system.  The Polypropylene Activated Carbon Filter (PCP) removes dirt, corrosion, sediment, chlorine, red worms, sand, organic matters, and other physical particles.  This is also used to protect the back filters, 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. It must be replaced every two years. The Carbon Filter (CF) improves the taste of the water by filtering additional chlorine, peculiar smells, and odors, and it must be replaced yearly.   The quality of these filters is world-class, and replacement filters are budget friendly.  When replacing the filters you slide the cover off the side of the RO system, pull the filter forward, turn the filter, pull the older one out, and then put it the new one and turn it into place (10 seconds to replace).

This tankless RO system comes with a water leakage protector that plugs into the back of the system. It will make a sound and alert you if there is a water leak or humidity detected in or around the area of the RO system and automatically shut off the system. There is a smart LED display with a filter life monitor and built-in real-time total dissolved solids (TDS) monitoring to track filter quality and lifespan. This is very convenient if you forget to keep track of when you first started using the filters.

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 15-25 PPM (bottled water quality).  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.

Unique features of RO system: Side panel that covers the filters is held on by magnets instead of plastic clips which can break easily.  I absolutely love this unique feature, and I outline it in the video below.

Improvements to the RO system: The only improvement I can think of is it is not clear how far forward to pull the filter when you need to replace it.  You need to be careful and pull it out slowly because the part that the filter plugs into will contact / touch the plastic top of the RO system.  Just use care when you are replacing the filters and you will have no issues.

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.

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.

This system is elegantly designed, and hookup is absolutely streamlined compared to the regular Bluevua Six Stage Reverse Osmosis System (100 GPD at 0.26L/Min Flow) unit that you sell.  Even though they are functionally the same the setup for this unit will be so much easier for a novice individual who is setting it up for the first time. They will be able complete the installation on their own without the help of a plumber and save money in the long run.

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.

The filters used on the Bluevua Six Stage RO System are a reverse osmosis membrane filter, coconut carbon block filter, granular activated carbon filter, polypropylene sediment filter, and a mineral ball filter for remineralization.  Most of the filters on this unit need to be replaced between 6 months - 2 years.  You will get a lot of use out of this system for years to come you can simply contact us directly to get more filters.

The Bluevua Reverse Osmosis System comes packaged very well. The instructions are very easy to understand, and system installation is a breeze.  No parts were missing, and I was surprised how sturdy and well-built this RO system is.  The metal frame all the filters are attached to is heavy and well-constructed.  I was able to get the system setup in under 30 minutes, and 10 of those 30 minutes were spent reading through the instructions. This system comes with a one-year warranty, and it will last you for many years to come.

How much molecular hydrogen can the Kangen SD501 Platinum produce off reverse osmosis water with remineralization?

How much molecular hydrogen can the Kangen SD501 Platinum produce off reverse osmosis water with remineralization?

< Back To All Blogs

12/13/2021

I have been experimenting with different ways of running reverse osmosis (RO) water that has a calcium sulfite remineralization filter on the RO water line out of the tankless Nobana Reverse Osmosis System into a Kangen SD501 Platinum Water Machine. The goal at the end of the day to understand what minerals are necessary for effective electrolysis, and how to get the most molecular hydrogen possible out of a water ionizer. Some questions to ask when experimenting are the following:

  1. Do you know what is in your city water? Do you need all the minerals in the tap water for effective electrolysis. Do you know how to remove unnecessary minerals from your tap water? Is there anything toxic in your city water? Do you know what minerals are corrosive and what minerals aren’t?

  2. If you remove any of tap water minerals, will you affect the ability to produce molecular hydrogen and alkalinity as the water ionizer was intended?

  3. Do you have to re-mineralize reverse osmosis water in order to produce high levels of molecular hydrogen? If you don’t re-mineralize RO water does that affect potential hydrogen (pH) levels? If yes, is the water still safe to consume?

  4. Can you get more molecular hydrogen by running the machine slower or faster? How do you measure for molecular hydrogen.

It is a fact that all home water ionizers need minerals in order to run effectively. A lot of people with water ionizers do not know what minerals are important for effective electrolysis or ways to produce more molecular hydrogen than a water ionizer was originally intended. You can only figure this out if you have a home set up that allows you to experiment with different ways of producing very high-quality clean water with different flow rates and filters that give enough contact time to the water to actually remove 99.99% of particulates. Then you also need very accurate meters down to at least two decimal points to measure each stage of the water production process as your tweak for experimentation and new ideas.

Here is a video below of me experimenting with different ways to bottle molecular hydrogen, and also testing what the new molecular hydrogen levels in the Kangen water are since installing my calcium sulfate remineralization filter on the RO water line coming off my tankless RO system. Enjoy and more videos to come soon!
