What is Reverse Osmosis?

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification method that uses pressure to push tap water through a semi-permeable membrane. This membrane filters out microscopic contaminants, leaving you with exceptionally clean, clear water.

Reverse osmosis systems are popular with Australian households because they offer up to 98% reduction of common tap water contaminants, tastes, and odours, such as chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and to reduce fluoride specifically.

If you’ve noticed your tap water smells of chlorine, tastes unpleasant, or leaves a residue, RO filtration could be the solution.

What can RO Reduce From Water

RO systems can remove up to 98% of 50+ known water contaminants.

Inorganic Contaminants Organic Chemicals General Impurities
Aluminium Atrazine Chlorine
Arsenic Aldrin Fluoride
Barium Benzene Nitrates
Cadmium Chloroform Total Dissolved Solids
Chromium VI Pesticides Lead
Calcium Herbicides Zinc

How Our Reverse Osmosis System Works (5 Simple Steps)

Reverse osmosis water filter system with 5-stage USA-made RO membrane and 12-litre stainless steel tank for ultra-pure, alkaline water

Our RO systems are purpose-built for local water conditions and use five targeted stages to deliver outstanding filtration:

Stage 1
Sediment Filter

Captures dust, rust, silt, and other particles down to 5 microns, protecting the rest of the system.

Stage 2
Activated Coconut Carbon Filter

Reduces chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, and chemical by-products that affect taste and odour.

Stage 3
Reverse Osmosis Membrane (USA Made)

The core of the system. Filters contaminants as small as 0.0001 microns, including fluoride, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, microplastics and PFAS.

Stage 4
Alkalisation & Remineralisation

Reintroduces essential minerals like magnesium and calcium, raising the pH to a healthy alkaline level (~9.5) and improving taste.

Stage 5
Granular Activated Carbon

Gives your water a naturally fresh, sweet finish using high-grade coconut shell carbon.


The result? High-purity drinking water that’s crisp, balanced, and ideal for everyday use.

Is Reverse Osmosis Right for Your Home?

Reverse osmosis is one of the most advanced water filtration methods available, removing contaminants about 700,000 times smaller than a human hair. That means it can target what other systems can't

It’s ideal for families who:

  • Want the cleanest, safest water possible for drinking and cooking
  • Are concerned about health impacts from tap or tank water
  • Are dealing with unpleasant taste, odour, or chlorine
  • Prefer a more sustainable option than bottled water

If your goal is the highest purity water at the tap, reverse osmosis is the gold standard. However, if you're looking to filter water throughout the entire home (e.g. showers, laundry), a whole-house filter system may be more suitable.

Not sure what’s right for your home? We offer free water assessments across Melbourne to help you decide.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) System versus Whole House Water Filter

Feature Reverse Osmosis (RO) Whole House Water Filter

Water Taste & Purity Ultra-pure, often mineral-free (unless remineralised) Improved taste and odor; keeps healthy minerals
Drinking Water Quality Excellent Good (not as pure as RO)
Whole-Home Protection No Yes
Bathing/Laundry/Kitchen Use Only protected at filtered tap All water in house is filtered
Installation and Cost Moderate cost for each tap/sink system Can be more affordable; requires less maintenance
Maintenance Filter/membrane changes; some water waste Filter changes; generally less maintenance
Water Waste Produces wastewater (1.5L+/- waste per 1L filtered) No wastewater
Preserves Essential Minerals No (removes minerals, unless remineralised) Yes

Reverse Osmosis Water Filter FAQs

Reverse osmosis systems use pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane. This process removes contaminants delivering clean drinking water through a multi-stage filtration system.

It depends on your needs. Many Melbourne families choose both, a whole house filter for general water use and an RO system for drinking and cooking.

Each serves a different purpose. Whole house filters improve water for showers, laundry, and appliances. RO systems provide ultra-pure water for drinking – ideal for health-conscious households.

You could, but it’s not practical. RO systems are typically used for drinking and cooking water. For showering, a whole house system is more appropriate.

Most RO filters need changing every 6–12 months, depending on usage. However, if paired with a high quality whole home filtration, filter lifespan can be extended.

RO systems have low annual costs for filter replacements. Whole house systems may be slightly higher depending on capacity, but both are economical compared to bottled water.

Yes. Reverse osmosis systems significantly improve water taste by removing chemicals, odours, and impurities that affect flavour.

RO systems do reduce minerals, but the PureFlow RO system adds them back with a remineralisation stage for better health and taste. If you’re weighing it up, we cover the full picture in our guide on whether reverse osmosis water is safe to drink.

Yes, most systems are installed in a few hours with no major changes to your plumbing.

Many customers report improvements in skin irritation, eczema, and allergies after switching to filtered water, especially with whole house systems.

Very little when the system is sized and set up correctly for your home. A small amount of water is used to flush the membrane and keep it working properly, but on a well-matched system that’s negligible against the volume of drinking and cooking water your household uses. We size every system to your setup so it runs efficiently.
