RO100ROPOT-Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter

Nice machine good value. Works well have had it about 4 months and enjoy it versus tap water.

I've been using this for about 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The water produced is absolutely high quality and the filtering is very effective. My apartment must have been using a water softener or something because it introduced a silty briny taste that a standard drip filter couldn't filter out, but luckily this machine does the job very well. It produces clean pure water, but what usually makes water taste good is the minerals so with this having the filter in the canister to add minerals it brings back most of the good taste you typically find in spring or other bottled water but maybe like 80-90% equivalent. Other reviews mentioned issues with leaking, but I didn't experience that at all. It does produce a few drops of water as you remove the water tank from the machine though. Besides that the machine does not stop itself from over-filling the water jug so if you don't have either an empty jug or do the half-fill mode when it's at or less than half fill the jug will overfill and leak. But with proper usage it does not. I've loved this over buying water bottles not only for the cost savings but also to significantly reduce plastic waste and to also not have to carry massive water jugs or packs of water. I was debating on this smaller unit or their slightly larger capacity one, while I found this lite model to be very compact and usable for a small number of people (2-4 i'd say, with maybe 1-2 that drink less water) I will say that you do have to drain and fill the tank quite a bit throughout the day for regular consumption. Each refill produces 3 full usable jugs (about 1 is left as waste water in the tank), and I refill the water at least 3-4 times per day typically for a household of one heavy water drinker and 2 lighter water drinkers. Since I'm the only one that fills it typically I do get slightly annoyed, so keep that in mind when deciding between the two models, but I'm still glad I got this size and still find this to be a superior option over buying water.

Always provides perfect water, a very good alternative to water bottles without micro plastics. Worth the price.

I bought the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter after hours of research over a week or two. I considered many brands and decided on the Bluevua Lite (UV). Mainly because of its compact size and overall performance reviews. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter looks and feels premium and very well made. The unit is very quiet and fairly quick to filter water. The filtered water is very good. I prefer it to many premium bottled waters, I won't list names, but some are European and not cheap! I use the included remineralization filter to add beneficial minerals back into the water. I would like to add that the water without the remineralization filter taste great as well. The unit does take some time to setup initially, because of the required flushing of the filters when first using it. But it's a necessary evil that all RO systems require! I really like the all-digital touch screen display. It's very easy to use and the screen displays all the necessary info. I like the sturdy glass pitcher over plastic ones that other brands tend to use. It holds 40 oz. of filtered water. I purchased an extra glass water pitcher, so I always have fresh filtered water, cold in the fridge! I drink a lot of water throughout the day. I've been using a quality gravity filter pitcher for years. Recently the brand was bought by a large water company and even though they made improvements to their filters for longer life and made improvement to their pitchers. The filters are not compatible with the old-style pitchers, very frustrating! I looked into a new pitcher only to learn the new owners eliminated the handy pour spout on their new pitcher. A feature I loved! So, I said, the heck with them! Their filters are the most expensive on the market for a pitcher gravity filter anyway! The Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter has a filter that last a year with regular use. The filter averages $70 - $80 to replace yearly. Not the lowest priced or most expensive. Pretty average! The filter on the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter is a single unit. So, you only need to replace one because it has multiple filtration stages built into one filter! I also like the UV light purification feature as well to keep bacteria from forming in the filter and system. Many brands do not offer this feature and is a major reason I chose Bluevua! I also like the fact that this Bluevua system uses a regular electric cord and plug, instead of a power brick like so many other RO systems! Something a lot won't consider or think about till they unbox unit and discover a power brick and find out it takes up needed outlet space! The system produces about 3 gallons of purified water to 1 gallon of wastewater. Which is better than average for a countertop RO system. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with my Bluevua purchase and highly recommend it! UPDATE: A short update after owning the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite (UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter for a month. I have been testing the TDS of the water regularly. My water here in Pennsylvania is a very good 30 -34 ppm TDS straight out of the tap (most municipal water in PA have a low ppm TDS reading fortunately!). So, the RO system doesn't have a lot of total dissolved solids to remove from the start! I mostly wanted to remove the chlorine and disinfection chemicals used in all municipal water supplies in the U.S. My reading on the filtered water from the Bluevua system have been a constant 0 ppm reading on my test meter for water without using the included remineralization cartridge. Using the remineralization cartridge, I'm getting a solid 4 ppm TDS reading, which is great! The remineralization cartridge adds back into the water beneficial minerals such as potassium, magnesium and calcium. This enhances the taste as well. Overall, I prefer the water taste using the remineralization cartridge over not using it. Either way the water taste great! The Bluevua system continues to work flawlessly, and I use it daily! Very satisfied with my purchase decision! I highly recommend the Bluevua brand RO systems!

Title: Internal Pump Leaked After 18 Months – Zero Support & Poor Durability I purchased the Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite(UV) countertop RO system, and after just 18 months of stationary kitchen counter use (moved fewer than 10 times total), it suddenly started leaking heavily from the base. After opening the unit to inspect it, I found that the leak was not coming from the water tank or an external seal, but directly from the internal pressure pump/valve block itself. When I contacted Bluevua customer support, they simply brushed it off, stating the 18-month-old unit was out of warranty, and offered zero repair options or assistance. For a premium countertop RO system at this price point, having internal mechanical components fail and flood the kitchen counter in under two years is unacceptable. A brand that refuses to stand behind its product or offer basic post-warranty repair solutions is not worth buying from. Highly recommend avoiding this product and brand.
