6-Stage Extreme Low Waste Reverse Osmosis System – Premium Water Filtration
After extensive testing, this is our most advanced RO system — engineered to tackle water wastage without compromising purity. A genuine DOW FilmTec BW30-1812-75 membrane pairs with an Aquatec permeate pump, twin pressure gauges, chloramine-rated pre-treatment, membrane flush, and a remineraliser for smooth taste — all tuned for an extreme low waste ratio.
Why Choose This System?
- Extreme Low Waste Ratio — approx. 0.6 L waste per 1 L produced (conditions dependent).
- Aquatec permeate pump — boosts membrane efficiency, reduces TDS creep, improves tank pressure; great in low-pressure areas.
- Twin pressure gauges — easily monitor cartridge condition and system pressure.
- Chloramine removal cartridge — handles ~3,800 L chloramine & ~45,000 L chlorine.
- Handheld TDS meter — verify membrane performance and water quality.
- Membrane flushing valve — simplifies maintenance and extends membrane life.
- Remineraliser — corrects pH and adds essential minerals for taste and balance.
- High output — ~200 L/day @ 40 psi; over 500 L/day @ 90 psi.
- 3-year pro-rata membrane warranty — because low-waste configs work membranes harder.
6-Stage Filtration Process
- Stage 1 — 5 µm polyspun sediment
- Stage 2 — 1 µm sediment
- Stage 3 — Matrikx CTO chloramine removal cartridge
- Stage 4 — DOW FilmTec BW30-1812-75 TFC membrane (U.S. made)
- Stage 5 — Omnipure K2548 remineraliser
- Stage 6 — Omnipure CL10RO-T40 coconut carbon post-filter
Important Notes
- TDS limit — suited to water < 500 ppm TDS (ideal for metro supplies incl. Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne). Not suited to bore water.
- Minimum pressure — 40 psi (280 kPa). Optimal ~50 psi (350 kPa) or higher.
- Sound note — the permeate pump “clicks” about every 3s while filling (similar volume to a biro); frequency reduces as the tank pressurises.
System Specifications

- ¾″ Dishwasher Adapter — use the dishwasher cold-water outlet where available. Details/Instructions
- ½″ Tee Olive Fitting (Copper) — typical for older homes with separate taps. Details/Instructions
Replacement Cartridges & Maintenance
- Annual change — 2× polyspun, 1× Matrikx CTO, 1× CL10RO-T40. Full set
- Remineraliser (~2 years) — second-year set incl. remineraliser
- Membrane (~4 years) — TW30/BW60 1812-75
- Membrane care — use the flush valve periodically to clear deposits and extend life.
