Drinking Water System Comparison ▼
Addition to Drinking Water Systems: Reverse Osmosis or AlwaysFresh?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filtration systems often require more frequent filter
replacements and consume significantly more water and equipment. They typically need
the installation of a separate kitchen faucet, which may be impractical if space is
limited.
By contrast, the AlwaysFresh drinking‑water system uses a single cartridge
installed under your sink, filtering water down to 0.5 micron and delivering it
straight to your cold‑water tap. It occupies minimal space and only requires an easy,
yearly filter change you can do yourself.
While RO systems are highly effective at purifying water, they remove beneficial
minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium), can leave water slightly acidic, and—if
neglected—may harbor bacteria. They also demand regular membrane and filter changes
and often involve complex installation and extra plumbing costs.
The AlwaysFresh® Patented 5‑Stage Filtration Process
Overview
This 5‑stage process removes particles, chemicals, and contaminants while preserving
flow and taste. Certified performance includes reduction of PFOA/PFOS and
microplastics.
Stage 1: 5 Micron Pre‑Filter
Removes dirt, sediment, and large particles, protecting later stages and extending the
life of the carbon block.
Stage 2: Fine Filtration
A thick, compression‑molded powdered activated‑carbon block filters particles
≥ 0.5 micron, reducing color, turbidity, protozoan cysts, and lead.
Stage 3: Adsorption
High‑capacity carbon with a large surface area reduces chemicals, dissolved lead, and
chlorine/chloramine‑related tastes and odors.
Stage 4: Filter Protection
Agion® natural antimicrobial—using patented Silver Zeolite technology—keeps the filter
fresh and extends its lifespan.
Stage 5: Scale Control
Reduces hard‑water scale, protecting appliances that heat, freeze, brew, or chill water.
