High Performance | Smart Monitor 5-Stage Quick-Change Alkaline RO | Undersink Reverse Osmosis System| Watermark Certified Filter (H1-302B)

The High Performance Smart Monitor 5-Stage Quick-Change Alkaline RO is a compact and practical reverse osmosis system featuring a full 5-stage quick-change filter configuration that creates pure Alkaline (pH 8) to pH Neutral (pH 7) drinking water, a digital dashboard with real-time water quality monitoring, set-and-forget filter reminders, and in-built leak detection. 

The Quick-Change cartridge system makes filter changes simple and easy for practically anybody to install – no more expensive call-out fees or fiddling with plumbing parts under the sink for hours - you simply twist the filters off to remove, twist and click back on to install!

The High Performance Smart Monitor system features an onboard IC micro-computer that monitors your water quality (TDS - Total Dissolved Solids), along with an inbuilt filter change reminder alarm - so you can ensure you always have the best quality water available. The Smart Monitor also features automatic leak detection and will shut off the water supply if an internal leak is detected. 

Featuring the Compact Booster Pump for Advanced Performance:

Reverse osmosis systems function best under constant high pressure. Because mains pressure tends to fluctuate, so too does the efficiency of contaminant and TDS removal in basic RO systems that are plumbed directly into town water mains. 

As our top-of-the-range drinking water filter, the High Performance Smart Monitor System boasts real-time water quality (TDS) readings to help ensure that you are drinking only the purest water, at all times. Under the optimal pressure conditions (a constant pressure of 500kpa or more), this filter will consistently reject up to 98% of all contaminants, thus producing possibly the sweetest, cleanest, purest, and lowest TDS water of any non-commercial reverse osmosis system available to Australian households. 

The Compact Booster Pump significantly improves the operating efficiency of the High Performance system by increasing the osmotic pressure up to 620kPa (working pressure). This boosted level of osmotic pressure results in a higher contaminant rejection rate, a lower TDS reading, and improves the system’s recovery rate, thus saving on water costs by reducing the wastewater-to-drinking-water ratio. Once the RO water storage tank is full, the pump will automatically shut off to maintain an optimal hydrostatic equilibrium whilst the system is not in operation.

Alkaline Water | The 5 Stages of Filtration | Quick Change Cartridges

Stage 1: The 1 Micron Sediment Cartridge (GT2-46-1 ST-01) (Replace Every 6 Months or as recommended by the Smart Monitor)

The first stage is a 1 Micron (uM) Sediment filter composed of 100% melt-blown polypropylene fibre. This cartridge helps to help protect the carbon pre-filters and reverse osmosis membrane from physical damage caused by particulate matter such as sand, dirt, silt, plant spores, and pollen. Physical contaminants such as these (which can surprisingly be found in most municipal water supplies), tend to clog up filter system components causing reduced water flow, lower osmotic pressure, diminished filtration efficiency, and ultimately, inferior water quality. Changing this filter every 6 months is vital!

Stage 2: The Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Pre-Filter Cartridge (GT4-55-GAC ST-33) (Replace Every 6 Months or as recommended by the Smart Monitor)

The second stage is a high-grade granular activated carbon pre-filter. This type of loosely-packed carbon enables a high level of water flow through the system, whilst "taking the first hit" to absorb harmful organic chemicals and contaminants. Keeping up with regular maintenance of this pre-filter (changing it every 6 months) helps to extend the life of all filters that come after it, including the reverse osmosis membrane.

Stage 3: The 5 Micron Coconut Carbon QC Cartridge (4-55-CTO ST-CTO) (Replace Every 12 Months or as recommended by the Smart Monitor)

The third stage is a 5-micron high-grade coconut carbon block pre-filter. Similar to the GAC filter, but with a unique carbon block matrix for maximum surface area and contact time, this special carbon cartridge takes the biggest load of contaminant removal, prior to the membrane. Replace every 12 months. 

Stage 4: The Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Cartridge (50GPD Filmtec) (GT13-RO50 ST-RO50) (Replace according to Smart Monitor Water Quality Reminders - 3-5 Years)

The RO membrane is the "engine room" of this high-performance system, where all the hard work of removing ultra-fine micro-particles, metal ions, and dissolved mineral salts takes place to achieve the maximum level of chemical and contaminant reduction, down to 0.0001 of a micron. Because Reverse Osmosis is such a fine level of filtration, it requires incredibly high levels of osmotic pressure, which also explains why we use three pre-filters to help protect the membrane from getting clogged or internally damaged by fine particulate matter.

Now, unlike standard RO systems that rely on guesswork to determine when you need to change the membrane, our High Performance Smart Monitor features a built-in, programmable TDS meter that constantly monitors the quality of water being produced by the RO membrane. Thus, once the Smart Monitor detects an abnormally high TDS reading (40 ppm), the filter reminder alarm will sound to indicate that the membrane has exhausted its capacity, and requires replacing. This feature can also be programmed according to your preferred TDS output rating, or according to a pre-set time schedule (i.e. 3 years). The ability to monitor the ongoing TDS of your water means that you can rest assured that you are drinking a consistently high quality of water, and depending on the quality of your water source, you may be able to get up to 5 years out of your RO membrane!

Stage 5: Dual Finishing Cartridge: Japanese Activated Coconut Carbon/Calcium Alkalising Post-Filter (4-55-ALK ST-34ALK) - (Replace Every 12 Months or as recommended by the Smart Monitor)

The last stage features the finest grade of Japanese activated coconut carbon to ensure the purest taste, which then passes through calcite (CaCO³) alkalising media to raise and buffer the final pH to between 7-8, without causing hardness. Note that upon installation, a new Calcium Alkalising cartridge may register an initial pH higher than 8, but it will quickly balance out.
