Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Reverse osmosis filtration in a self-contained countertop unit
- No permanent plumbing required
- 1.1 gallon capacity limits reserve for big households
- 14 lb unit takes up meaningful counter space
Performance notes
Reverse osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane, filtering out dissolved solids a carbon filter alone would miss. The 1.1 gallon capacity sets how much filtered water is available before it needs refilling.
