Description
Reverse osmosis system with tank and pump for home drinking water
The RO 50 is a traditional under-sink reverse osmosis water filtration system designed mainly for domestic use. It is a practical solution for families and households that want purified water for drinking, cooking, coffee, tea and everyday kitchen use.
The system includes a booster pump, a pressurised storage tank and a separate faucet for purified water. The pump helps maintain stable reverse osmosis performance when the inlet pressure is low or variable, while the tank keeps filtered water ready for immediate use.

- Complete installation kit: supplied with tubing, faucet and connection accessories.
- Standard filter format: uses common 10″ pre-filter housings for convenient maintenance.
Filtration process
The RO 50 uses a multi-stage filtration process. First, pre-filters reduce sediment and chlorine, helping protect the reverse osmosis membrane. Then the RO membrane reduces dissolved salts and many common impurities. Finally, the post-carbon filter improves the final taste of the water before it reaches the faucet.
- Pre-filtration: two melt-blown polypropylene sediment filters, 5 micron.
- Carbon filtration: GAC carbon cartridge for chlorine, taste and odour reduction.
- Reverse osmosis membrane: Ionicore USmotic TFC membrane, 50 GPD.
- Storage: purified water is collected in the pressurised tank.
- Final polishing: inline post-carbon filter improves taste before dispensing.

Installation and maintenance
The RO 50 is usually installed under the kitchen sink or inside a kitchen cabinet. The separate faucet is installed on the sink or countertop and dispenses purified water independently from the normal kitchen tap.
For best performance, filter cartridges should be replaced regularly according to water quality and household consumption. The pre-filters protect the membrane, so timely replacement helps maintain filtration efficiency and system life.
Important water-quality note
This reverse osmosis system is intended for use with potable inlet water. It is not designed to make microbiologically unsafe water automatically drinkable. Do not use the system with water of unknown or unsafe quality without adequate disinfection and suitable pre-treatment.
For well water, high hardness, high sediment or uncertain water quality, professional water analysis is recommended before installation. A remineralising post-filter may be added if a more balanced final taste is desired.
FAQ
Is the RO 50 suitable for home use?
Yes. The RO 50 is mainly designed for domestic under-sink installation and daily household drinking water use.
Why does this system have a tank?
The tank stores purified water so it is ready when you open the drinking-water faucet. This is useful because reverse osmosis filtration is naturally slower than normal tap flow.
Why is a pump included?
The booster pump helps the reverse osmosis membrane work more reliably when inlet water pressure is low or variable.
Can I use the water for coffee and tea?
Yes. Reverse osmosis water is commonly used for drinking, cooking, coffee, tea, kettles and food preparation because it helps reduce taste, odour, hardness and dissolved salts.
Does reverse osmosis remove minerals?
Yes. Reverse osmosis reduces dissolved salts and minerals. If desired, a remineralising filter can be added after the membrane to adjust the final taste.
