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)
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.
Our reverse osmosis membrane is certified to NSF/ANSI 58, and our RO systems are tested to Australian Standards.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Point-of-use (usually one tap) | Point-of-entry (entire house) |
| 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
How does a reverse osmosis system work
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.
Do I need both a RO system and a whole house filter?
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.
Is a whole house water filter or RO system better for Australian homes?
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.
Can I shower or bathe in reverse osmosis water?
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.
How often do I need to replace filters in a reverse osmosis system?
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.
What are the ongoing costs of RO vs whole house systems?
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.
Do RO water filters make water taste better?
Yes. Reverse osmosis systems significantly improve water taste by removing chemicals, odours, and impurities that affect flavour.
Will a RO water filter remove all minerals & nutrients from my water?
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.
Are reverse osmosis filters easy to install?
Yes, most systems are installed in a few hours with no major changes to your plumbing.
Can a RO water filter help with skin conditions or allergies?
Many customers report improvements in skin irritation, eczema, and allergies after switching to filtered water, especially with whole house systems.
Does a reverse osmosis system waste water?
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.
