Water is an important part of human life. However, only clean water can bring real benefits.

Buying bottled water in this case is not a completely rational solution. It is better to buy a water filtration system which purifies water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

An effective method of purifying water is to use a reverse osmosis system.

This system purifies water up to 99%. The water is cleaned of heavy metals, salts, viruses and other foreign microorganisms. In a reverse osmosis system, the filtering element is a reverse osmosis membrane.

It is made of a polymer film that interacts with water molecules. These filters are equipped with a tank in order to accumulate water, because the water purification process is slow.

Also these systems are equipped with additional filters, postfilters and mineralizers.

Below is a list of the best models of reverse osmosis filters, which will allow you to choose the most suitable option.

How to choose a filter with reverse osmosis in the price/quality ratio?

A reverse osmosis filtration system is quite expensive. For this reason, it is important to assess your own financial capabilities before buying. You should also keep in mind that it will be necessary to periodically replace the modules.

When buying this system, the following parameters should be taken into account:

1. The number of stages of purification. There are from 3 to 9 stages.
2. The presence of additional functions. For example, automatic control system, the resource of auxiliary cartridges, the volume of the storage tank and others.
3. Type of bulb. It is easier to replace the bulb if it is of the block-modular type.
4. Size of the device. It should match the size of the place under the sink.

The pressure in the pipeline is lower than necessary, for this reason, it is desirable that a pump is supplied in the kit.

The water is cleaned under pressure. Therefore, it is very important that the housing is made of durable materials. Also, all connecting elements should firmly fix the unit to the pipes.

The best reverse osmosis filters by price/quality

Let's take a look at the three best reverse osmosis filters that are reasonably priced and high quality.

1- Aquaphor DWM-101S Morion reverse osmosis white

	Owner's Review
	I have wanted to buy this filter for a long time and it finally happened! I had to tinker with the installation, but the result is pure delicious water. Especially you can see it when you drink tea with this water. Actually, I am familiar with reverse osmosis from the company, where it was used on an industrial scale for water treatment. It is a good thing, I definitely recommend it!

This filter will improve the quality of drinking water coming through the central water supply.

The water that passes through this system is pre-treated and deeply purified. The system includes several modules.

Reverse osmosis effectively removes small particles and a variety of impurities.

The filter includes a mineralizer, which will enrich the water with calcium and magnesium. These substances are very useful for the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system.

The system will only work if the pressure in the water supply is at least 2 atmospheres and no more than 6.5. No chemical additives are used during filtration. Water that has passed through Aquaphor can be consumed by children.

This water will not harm people suffering from allergies.

Thanks to purified water, no scales will appear on the walls of your kettle, multicooker and other household appliances.

Characteristics:

• filter type: the system "under the sink";
• cleaning method: charcoal scrubbing;
• Number of cleaning stages: 4;
• Functions: free chlorine purification, iron removal, reverse osmosis, softening.

	It's a great filter. I have been using it for over half a year. The water is soft, does not smell, the plants also like it, no limescale, can be used for iron and steam mop - no need to buy distillate. Tank lasts; never once has run out of water, although there is a very high consumption (to water the flowers and cook soup).

Purifying system Atoll A-550m STD includes a mineralizer. Its main purpose: to purify water in the home and other functions.

In this system water under pressure passes through a membrane. Only oxygen and water molecules pass through the membrane.

The system includes the following elements:

1. Pre-filters .. They are necessary to remove insoluble particles and chlorine from the water before it reaches the membrane. The purification is carried out before the water reaches the membrane. The use of pre-filters increases the life of the diaphragm.
2. Pentek P5. Eliminates mechanical particles: sand, suspended solids, rust.
3. Pentek GAC-10.Eliminates chlorine.
4. Pentek P1.: removes small mechanical particles over 1 micron.
6. Water storage tank - storage tank. Its volume is 18 liters.
7. Pentek GS-10CAL/RO Mineralizer. This treatment stage is the last one. It is the last stage of cleaning, just before the drinking faucet.

The drinking faucet is installed in the kitchen sink or countertop. It is an independent source of pure drinking water.

Characteristics:

• filter type: "under sink" system;
• Number of purification levels: 5;

	You need to check how all the filters are tightened before installation. I had a dripping bulb with a diaphragm. There are 2 rubber rings installed. If tightening does not help, you need to unscrew the lid, wipe the rubbers so there are no debris on it, preferably lubricate with silicone grease and screw it back on. If the rubbers are not jammed anywhere, there will be no leakage. Connection is very simple, everything is easy to do according to the instructions.

This model of filter will perfectly clean even the most contaminated water. Provides a double seal to install the bulb.

The filter body can withstand pressure up to 25 atmospheres. The system additionally has a valve to discharge water into the drain.

A three-stage pre-cleaner allows for longer membrane life.

Sand, scale and suspended solids are filtered by two polypropylene modules. Organics, fluorine and residual chlorine are removed by the carbon block cartridge.

This filter completely removes hardness salts, heavy metals, nitrates, viruses and bacteria from the water.

To avoid foreign odors in the system in question is provided postfilter. The water is always clear and has a pleasant taste.

Characteristics:

• filter type: "under the sink" system;

The best reverse osmosis strainers without a storage tank

Here are three of the best reverse osmosis filters that do not have a storage tank.

1. Prio New Water Econic Osmos Stream OD320 with reverse osmosis

	Expert Review: ? 9.9 / 10
	Owner's Review.
	At 4 bar it filters 0.6-0.8L per minute. eat all the time !!!! Water. You put the glass in and it fills up. Or if there is a carafe, the water on the table is constantly fresh and delicious. The price is not very expensive... takes up much less space than a barrel. No noise and no pump. Takes up little space. Not very expensive (for me).

This system is a direct-flow reverse osmosis system of the second generation. It has a quick-release membrane.

Compared with models of the first generation, the performance of the system is 1.5 times higher.

This is achieved by a new low pressure, ultra-low pressure membrane. Due to the fact that the discharge into the sewer per unit of treated water is reduced, the water consumption is more economical.

In addition, the system has a compact size, it does not have a tank, the kit includes a mineralizer.

It turns out when filtering fresh water does not stagnate in the storage tank. All cartridges and membranes are very easy to change.

The open design gives the system great expandability. The design of the system is very simple, due to the small number of components.

Features:

• filter: "under the sink" system;
• cleaning method: charcoal scrubbing;
• number of purification stages: 3;
• Features: free chlorine purification, deferrization, reverse osmosis, softening.

2. Atoll A-3500 STD Shuttle white

	Expert Rating: ? 9.8 / 10
	Owner's review
	Sufficiently high performance for a similar design - 1 liter gives out for 1 min. 50 sec. Relatively little drainage - for 1 liter of clean water, 2 liters of drainage. Set of cartridges Atoll #209 must be replaced every 6 months. Set #111 (with a membrane), said every 1-1.5 years.

The model under consideration has a very compact size. There is no accumulation tank here. For this reason, the system is suitable for installation in a limited space.

In this case the accumulation system is direct-flow. No storage tanks are connected here.

This model has the following features:

• The quality of filtration is at the highest level. Due to the design features of the system, the water becomes clean and it is safe to drink;
• Large range of pressures. Despite the fact that the system does not include a pump, it works perfectly in the pressure range from 0.5 to 6 atmospheres;
• high environmental friendliness. To make the system work, electricity is not required. The work is absolutely silent.
• the system is more economical in terms of water consumption, because it drains half as much water;
• easy to use. In this case, the problem of stagnant water, when not using the system for a long time, there is no problem;
• New cartridges can be installed without special equipment.

The filter is supplied with a cartridge installed, a membrane. The filter is suitable for all faucets.

Characteristics:

• filter type: "under the sink" system;
• purification method: charcoal purification;
• functions: free chlorine purification, deferrization, reverse osmosis, softening.

3. Geyser Prestige 2 (without tank) with reverse osmosis

	Expert's evaluation: ? 9.5 / 10
	Owner's Review.
	Cheap. Quality like expensive reverse osmosis filters. Small size. This is my second filter. My first filter had 2 years with no problems. Replaced it completely with a new filter since it is cheap. At the inlet I have a flask with a fine filter "Aragon". I periodically clean and regenerate it. I do not change the charcoal pre-filter.

This cleaning system has a compact size and affordable cost. Despite this, the system effectively purifies water with an increased concentration of iron.

The resource of work, without the need to replace the cartridges, is up to one year.

A pre-filter is provided. It effectively cleans the water of iron compounds. It also performs a partial purification of salts. It allows to prolong the lifetime of the membrane module. The semi-permeable membrane cleans the water from all impurities larger than a water molecule.

99% purified water passes through pores as small as 0.0001 micrometer. Other substances are discharged through the drainage channel of the filter. Membrane life is increased due to the protective layer.

The protective layer improves flushing of impurities from the membrane walls.

In this model the system provides a sorption post-filter with coconut shell charcoal.

An additional cartridge improves organoleptic properties and neutralizes odors and off-tastes due to dissolved gases in the water.

Characteristics:

• filter type: "under the sink" system;
• Cleaning method: charcoal scrubbing;
• Number of cleaning stages: 2;
• functions: free chlorine purification, deironing, reverse osmosis, softening.

	Inexpensive, fits the size, with 2 taps - for distilled and mineralized water, tank of about 9 liters - enough. Minimal maintenance for a long time - after a quarterly hardness cartridge restoration and annual full replacement of filters in a regular filter (not osmosis) just a fairy tale.

This filter will perfectly clean even very hard tap water. The flasks are equipped with a double seal.

The body can withstand pressure of 25 atmospheres and at least 100 thousand cycles of water hammer. There is a special valve in case the pressure in the hydroaccumulator reaches values in excess of the norm.

To extend the service life of the membrane and to remove impurities at an early stage of filtration, a pre-treatment consisting of three stages is applied.

The water purification system under consideration cleans up to 200 liters of liquid per day with 98% efficiency. Flushing filtrate down the drain improves the protective layer. It provides a membrane service life of 1-3 years.

The system also includes a post-filter.

It will help prevent foreign odors and taste in the water.

Characteristics:

• Filter type: "under the sink" system;
• Cleaning method: charcoal scrubbing;

The best budget reverse osmosis filters

Here are the top inexpensive reverse osmosis filters.

1. Geyser Prestige 2 (8 l) with reverse osmosis

	Expert Review: ? 9.9 / 10
	Owner's Review
	In fact, I have been using the filter for a month, came to the conclusion that the three-stage version, that's what you need, five or six stages is money down the drain, I put before this filter is one more regular, not expensive to maintain and pre-filter costs 50 rubles, there are three-stage, and if you do not put regular filter assistant, pre-filters cost about 600 rubles, and they need how many. I do not need much for the aquarium 20-30 liters per week. I also bought a pump for the filter and a three-liter can for 15 minutes nabihit.8 ppm after and membrane.

The technology of this system is based on purification of water through a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane has very small pores.

Only water molecules pass through them. Many impurities as well as bacteria and viruses have molecules much smaller than water molecules. For this reason, they will not pass through the membrane.

There is a specially designed pre-cleaning unit. It will purify water with high content of hardness salts and dissolved iron.

The Geyser system has the following features:

• maximum purification of water, which has a high hardness;
• dimensions 5 times less than usual reverse osmosis systems;
• low price in the market;
• the volume of the storage tank is 8 liters;
• availability of leakage control system.

Leakage protection technology is applied through the use of a special faucet. It automatically relieves pressure from the system after closing. This extends the life of the diaphragm and housing.

Characteristics:

• filter type: "under the sink" system;
• Cleaning method: charcoal scrubbing;
• cleaning stages: 3;
• functions: free chlorine purification, iron removal, reverse osmosis, softening.

2: Aquaphor DWM-31 with reverse osmosis

	Expert's evaluation: ? 9.7 / 10
	Owner's Review
	Bought it to purify river water at the cottage. It is very common for older people to have a jug storage tank. The DWM series purifies water on a molecular level. All dirt, bacteria are filtered out by the membrane. The purified water is mineralized through a separate unit. The water is slow, but clear and clean. When the jug is full, an automatic shut-off is triggered and the water stops flowing. There is also a special nozzle that can be attached to, for example, a pot. The tricky thing about the shut-off system is the float. Therefore, the system is as easy as can be. I installed the whole system myself in an hour. Everything is very simple.

This system has the most compact design. Here is a container in the form of a jug, instead of a tank. The filtration is very fast. The system will filter out any impurities and prevent the occurrence of scaling for the duration of membrane use.

DWM systems have some features.

They are compact, save water and work at low pressure.

The resulting water can be used for drinking, making tea, coffee, soup, baby food.

It comes with an adapter.

When the tank is full, the water supply will stop. The filter will work even at low pressure.

Characteristics:

• filter type: "under the sink" system;
• cleaning method: charcoal scrubbing;
• Number of cleaning stages: 3;
• functions: free chlorine purification, deferrization, reverse osmosis, softening.

	Assessment of the expert: ? 9.5 / 10
	Owner's review.
	Decided to put a filter in my home in Moscow. I installed it in my home in Moscow. The first startup is long and tedious.) With alishki took the water tester at the inlet showed 217, after the filter 17/20. I drank all the water, in general, all normal. Bought a separate leak valve, Atoll could have put it. On the tubes the only thing a lot of droplets of water, do not know how to solve this, who has wrestled with this I wonder. But so far so good, a lot of things in the drain, I do not know what the pressure in the system. I ordered a leak sensor from alishki as a safety precaution.

This filter can be used to clean water from harmful impurities such as heavy metals, organic compounds, bacteria, chlorine.

Also the system will soften the water quality. Due to the special housing, the system can be installed near the sink instead of under it. The inlet temperature should be 438 degrees.

To purify water, the cartridges are used, which are made in the USA. To collect and store filtered water, a storage tank is provided. The tank volume is 8 liters.

Characteristics:

• filter type: "under the sink" system;
• cleaning method: charcoal scrubbing;
• the number of stages of purification: 5;
• Functions: reverse osmosis, softening.
