Tankless Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems
A softener handles hardness. It does not make drinking water. Reverse osmosis is what takes chlorine byproducts, lead, heavy metals and dissolved solids out of the water you actually drink and cook with.

Specification
What is in it, and why.
- Tankless — no bulky bladder under the sink
- The AW800 AlkaPro produces on demand at 800 gallons per day, so you get your cabinet back and never taste stale tank water.
- Seven stages, ending in an alkaline polish
- 5 micron sediment pre-filter, two NSF carbon block stages for chloramine, THMs and TCE, a high-rejection thin film composite membrane, coconut shell GAC polish, an internal alkaline remineralizer, then a final GAC stage.
- Dedicated faucet, installed and sealed
- Finish matched to your kitchen, drilled and mounted properly — not clamped onto the sprayer hole.
- Filter change reminders
- The unit tracks throughput and tells you when a stage is due, typically every 6 to 12 months.
What changes at home

FAQs
Questions about reverse osmosis.
Does reverse osmosis remove chloramine?
Yes. The carbon prefilter stages handle chloramine, which most Greater Houston surface-water supplies use instead of free chlorine. Chloramine is more persistent than chlorine, which is exactly why an undersink pitcher filter struggles with it.
Is RO water bad for you because it strips minerals?
Straight RO water is very low in minerals, which is why our system finishes with an alkaline mineral stage. You get the contaminant removal without the flat taste or the mineral-stripping concern.
Can I add RO later if I only buy a softener now?
Yes. The RO unit installs independently and we can come back for it. Most people who add it later tell us they wish they had done both at once.
How much water does it waste?
The tankless design runs a far tighter recovery ratio than a traditional tank RO. For a typical family the added water use is comparable to running the dishwasher once more per week.
