QRO4 Quick-Change 4-Stage Reverse Osmosis System
Quick-change RO with a fast 75 GPD (≈300 LPD) membrane, a self-seal valve head for sub-2-minute filter swaps, and premium fittings throughout. Ships complete with a 550 kPa PLV (with isolation valve), your choice of designer faucets, and mains connection kit. Low ~1:1 waste ratio.
Also Known As
This model is also sold as HydrROtwist or PuRO Twist in some markets.
Why Choose This System?
- Faster output — stocks the 75 GPD (300 LPD) membrane, not slower variants.
- Self-seal valve head — undo the first cartridge (Q5605) and the mains auto-shuts off. No separate shutoff needed.
- 2-minute cartridge changes — genuinely easy DIY servicing.
- Premium hardware — genuine John Guest Speedfit push-in fittings.
- Complete kit — tubing, hardware, and even thread-sealing tape.
- Multiple designer faucets — choose your finish and style.
- Certified — meets NSF standards 42, 53, 58, 61.
- Low waste ratio (~1:1) — about 50% less waste than many brands.
How It Works: 4-Stage Filtration
- Stage 1 — Q5605 5-micron sediment removes dirt, rust & particulates.
- Stage 2 — Q5640 GAC carbon reduces chlorine, chemicals & odours.
- Stage 3 — Q-Series 75 GPD TFC membrane (≈300 LPD, 0.0005 µm) targets dissolved salts (incl. fluoride) & heavy metals.
- Stage 4 — Q5640 carbon post-filter high-grade polishing for taste.
PFAS Reduction & Water Quality
Carbon → membrane → carbon is a proven sequence for broad contaminant reduction, including PFAS (e.g., PFOA). Typical Australian town water is ~pH 7–7.5. After the membrane, minerals are very low and pH can drop to ~pH 6; adding a re-mineraliser (optional add-on) lifts pH back above 7 for balanced taste.
