Reverse osmosis (RO) is a pollutant elimination tech that allows us to enjoy clean and healthier water. Apart from utilizing activated carbon such as those found in filters for fridges, the RO unit also uses a polypropylene sediment filter and a membrane. All these materials sieve bacteria, harmful chemicals, and debris out, providing better-tasting and pure water.

A RO water faucet facilitates this flow of water from the unit into your cup. This dedicated tap connects to the system and allows us to enjoy impurity-free contents.
