Under-table systems
1 Products
Osmosis systems are becoming increasingly popular, even though our tap water is often of excellent quality. However, there are good reasons to filter the water anyway. On the one hand, the limit values are sometimes set very high and on the other hand, the water often tastes better if it has been purified by an osmosis system. In addition, the water sometimes also contains substances that are not regulated by limit values or the limit values are temporarily exceeded. Sometimes contamination (e.g. from germs) can also occur in the public pipe network.
Under-table reverse osmosis systems are, as the name suggests, mounted below the table. By table, we usually don't mean a classic table, but rather the kitchen worktop. This means that these systems are installed in the kitchen base cabinet. The advantage of this is that you cannot see the system and you do not lose any space on the worktop. The disadvantage is that you have to “sacrifice” at least half a kitchen cupboard for it.
The systems are connected to the existing angle valve using an included adapter. In addition, a connection to the wastewater must be established. Both should generally be present in a kitchen. The water then flows through the 2 to 4 pre-filters (depending on the type of system) and then a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane is the actual heart of every reverse osmosis system. High-quality systems also have a pump that presses the water through the membrane at increased pressure. This increases efficiency and the system uses less wastewater.
The filtered water is then stored in a tank so that there is always enough osmosis water available. Some osmosis systems have an additional cartridge to neutralize the pH value. There, salts (calcium, magnesium, etc.) that are otherwise found in drinking water are added to the water again. The water can then be removed via the attached separate outlet, which is attached somewhere in the worktop. Alternatively, there are combination taps that have both outlets for normal tap water (warm, cold) and an outlet for osmosis water. The existing fitting is then replaced with this.
The pre-filters and the membrane must be replaced regularly. The change interval depends on individual water consumption and is between 6 and 18 months.

Latest Questions
Product: GUTZZI under-sink reverse osmosis system
Answer: Precisely because the system is very compact, changing the filter is relatively uncomplicated. You turn off the water and can then place the entire system on the sink or take it outside. Only the water that is in the hoses comes out.
Product: ZIP reverse osmosis system
Answer: The question is not easy to answer, generally the ratio is 50/50. Since you don't have to empty the water (it collects back in the container) but only fill it up with new water, you can continue to process the other 50%. Only after the 10th run should you refill the basic tank.
Product: REOS Plug & Play reverse osmosis system with softening system
Answer: Basically, you can connect the system as it is delivered to the water, wastewater and electricity and produce water directly. We also offer various accessories such as storage tanks if necessary. That depends on your requirements. We would be happy to create an individual offer.
Product: REOS Plug & Play reverse osmosis system with softening system
Answer: This depends on the respective model. Here are a few calculations (under optimal conditions): The model with an output of 150 l / h needs almost 7 hours for 1 mÂł of water with a power consumption of 0.5 kW. This corresponds to approximately 3.6 kWh per mÂł. The model with 300 l / h output therefore needs approx. 3.5 h for 1 mÂł of water with a power consumption of 0.65 kW. This corresponds to approximately 2.16 kWh per mÂł. The model with 600 l / h output, on the other hand, needs less than 2 hours for 1 mÂł of water with a power consumption of 2.2 kW. This corresponds to approximately 3.6 kW per mÂł.
Product: REOS Compact reverse osmosis system
Answer: The REOS Compact reverse osmosis system is primarily designed for the treatment of relatively clean, pre-filtered drinking water. While it is excellent at removing impurities, pollutants and microorganisms from water to produce pure drinking water, its suitability for producing drinking water directly from a body of water such as a river depends on various factors. For the direct treatment of river water into drinking water, preparatory steps are usually necessary to remove coarse impurities and particles before the water is passed through a reverse osmosis system. This includes pre-filtration to remove sediment, suspended solids and possible larger organic materials that could damage or clog the reverse osmosis system membranes. Furthermore, the process of reverse osmosis can also lead to a reduced pH value, making the water slightly acidic. This is because reverse osmosis systems not only remove impurities, but also minerals that give the water flavor and contribute to pH balance. In some cases, it is therefore necessary to post-treat the osmosis-treated water to increase the pH and add minerals back in so that it meets drinking water standards and preferences.
