ALFILTRA REOS HOME under-counter reverse osmosis system

Here you have to distinguish between two operating modes:

• Standby mode : The tank is full and no water is being drawn off. In this case, the system does not make any noise.
• Treatment mode : Water has been drawn off or the tank is being initially filled. In this case, the pump starts to increase efficiency. When the pump is running, the noise level of the system is less than 40 decibels (assuming it is in a closed cabinet), which is about the volume of a quiet conversation or quiet background noise in a library. This makes it ideal for use in kitchens, offices or practices where peace and quiet and a disturbance-free environment are important. The pump switches off immediately when the tank has been refilled (within a few minutes).

The REOS HOME system is primarily designed for the filtration of tap water. Here are the details of the different types of water that can be filtered:

For all of the water types mentioned, it is important to ensure that the water quality meets the requirements of the reverse osmosis system to ensure optimal performance and service life of the filters. If there is any uncertainty about the water quality, a water analysis should be carried out and additional pre-filters installed if necessary.

Yes, the ALFILTRA REOS HOME under-counter reverse osmosis system can also be installed in rented apartments. Here are a few points to consider:

Overall, the ALFILTRA REOS HOME under-sink reverse osmosis system is a flexible solution suitable for rental apartments for the provision of clean drinking water.

The following steps are essentially required to install this under-sink reverse osmosis system:

• Make space: Find a free space, preferably in a base cabinet near the faucet.
• Connecting the waste water: To connect the waste water, a small hole must be drilled in the existing waste water pipe. An intermediate piece is then placed there, where the waste water hose is connected. The hoses are all connected using a plug-in connection (no tools required).
• Outlet for the osmosis water: Here you have three options:
  • Option 1: You use the included outlet and attach it to your worktop or sink. To do this, you need to drill a hole through which the outlet fits and connect the corresponding hose to the system.
  • Option 2: You replace the existing faucet with a combination faucet that has both an outlet for "normal" tap water and an outlet for osmosis water. The connection is then made in the same way as option 1. In addition, you must connect the existing hot and cold water (which was previously connected to your faucet).
  • Option 3: Do you have a side-by-side refrigerator with a water outlet? Then you can also connect the osmosis water there. To do this, the existing hose on the refrigerator must be connected to the outlet of the osmosis system.
• Supply line to the osmosis system : For this purpose, an intermediate piece is installed on the cold water angle valve, which has an outlet to the osmosis system. A hose is then connected to the inlet of the osmosis system.
• Connecting the power supply: To supply power, simply plug the included power adapter into the power socket.

Of course, you will receive detailed illustrated instructions together with the system. In summary, it can be said that all of this work can be done by laypeople. If you are unsure, you are welcome to use our assembly service.

The ALFILTRA REOS HOME under-counter reverse osmosis system is installed directly under the sink in the kitchen. This position offers several advantages:

Overall, installing the ALFILTRA REOS HOME under-counter reverse osmosis system under the sink offers a practical, aesthetic and efficient solution for providing clean, filtered drinking water. If you don't have space directly under the sink, the hoses can also be extended and often laid under the kitchen plinth. It is important that you keep at least half of a base cabinet free for this.

A separate water tap is necessary for the ALFILTRA REOS HOME under-sink reverse osmosis system for the following reasons:

Additionally, there are also combo faucets available as accessories that look like a normal faucet but have two separate outlets - one for filtered and one for unfiltered water. These combo faucets offer an aesthetically pleasing and space-saving solution by integrating the functionality of a separate faucet without the need for additional drilling or installation.

The filters of the ALFILTRA REOS HOME under-sink reverse osmosis system should be changed regularly to ensure optimal performance and water quality. The recommended change intervals are as follows:

However, these intervals depend on the actual water consumption and the quality of the incoming water. The ALFILTRA REOS HOME under-sink reverse osmosis system is equipped with a built-in TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter that continuously monitors the water quality. If the filter performance decreases and a change is necessary, the system automatically reports this to alert you. This ensures that the filters are always changed in time to ensure consistently high water quality.

The REOS HOME under-counter reverse osmosis system is very energy efficient and uses very little power. The system's power supply has a maximum output of 38 watts.

To better understand the power consumption during operation, here are some details:

• Average power consumption: If the system is in operation for 1 hour per day, it consumes 38 watts per hour.
• Annual power consumption: With a usage of 1 hour per day (which is generously calculated for a water filter system) the following annual power consumption results:
  • Daily consumption: 38 watts * 1 hour = 38 watt hours (Wh) per day
  • Annual consumption: 38 Wh * 365 days = 13,870 Wh = 13.87 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year

With an average electricity price of 0.30 euros per kWh, the annual electricity costs would be around 4.16 euros.

This shows that the system is extremely energy efficient and cost-effective to operate, even with regular use.
