Know before you buy
Not at all. In fact, the X16-S is engineered for a rapid 1600 GPD flow rate, which allows for instant water dispensing without the need for a bulky storage tank.
Most traditional RO systems have a much higher waste ratio, often 1:3 or 1:4. The 3:1 ratio on this model is highly efficient, meaning for every four gallons of water processed, three gallons are purified for drinking and only one is sent to the drain.
Yes, the X16-S requires a standard electrical outlet to power the internal pump and the smart digital faucet features, such as the real-time TDS monitoring.
While the system uses 11 stages of filtration, these are consolidated into long-lasting filter cartridges that are rated for 2200 gallons. The smart faucet includes a filter life indicator, so you will receive a clear alert when it is time for a replacement.
The 0.0001μm RO membrane removes impurities, but the system includes a remineralization stage that infuses the water with beneficial alkaline minerals. This ensures your water is not only purified but also balanced for an optimal pH level.
The system is designed for DIY installation and includes all necessary components. However, you should ensure you have adequate space under your sink—approximately 18.2" x 6.25" x 16.72"—and access to a power source before beginning.
