Description
Pure Water. Hot, Cold or Room Temperature. No Plumbing Required.
The benchtop reverse osmosis water filter features an advanced 6-stage filtration system that combines PPC + T33 filtration (Polypropylene Cotton with Alkaline Mineral enhancement) together with reverse osmosis technology. Working through multiple filtration stages, the system is highly effective at reducing impurities and delivering cleaner, safer, great-tasting drinking water for your home.
Advanced 6-Stage Water Filtration Process
Enjoy cleaner, fresher water with our comprehensive 6-stage water filtration system, designed to reduce impurities and improve taste at every step.
Stage 1: PP Cotton (Coarse Sediment)
Captures larger particles such as dirt, sand, rust, and visible sediment.
Stage 2: Pre-Carbon (Chemical Reduction)
Carbon filtration helps reduce chlorine, common chemicals, and unwanted odours.
Stage 3: PP Cotton (Fine Sediment)
Removes finer particles and remaining sediment that may pass through earlier stages.
Stage 4: RO Membrane (Deep Purification)
The core of the system, reverse osmosis technology helps reduce heavy metals, fluoride, microplastics, PFAS, PFOS, bacteria, viruses, and trace pharmaceutical residues.
Stage 5: Activated Carbon (Taste Improvement)
Polishes the water by reducing any remaining odours or aftertaste for a cleaner finish.
Stage 6: Alkaline Mineral Enhancement
Reintroduces beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium to create a more balanced and enjoyable drinking experience.
This powerful multi-stage filtration process delivers cleaner, clearer, and great-tasting water for the whole family.

Frequently Asked Questions – CA3001 Reverse Osmosis Water Filter
1. What does the CA3001 remove from water?
The CA3001 Reverse Osmosis Water Filter is designed to help reduce a broad range of common contaminants found in tap water. This includes dirt, sediment, chlorine, heavy metals such as lead and mercury, bacteria, viruses, chemical residues including some pesticides, and fluoride. It also helps improve the taste, smell, and overall quality of your drinking water.
2. Does the CA3001 remove fluoride?
Yes. The reverse osmosis membrane is the main filtration stage responsible for reducing fluoride, along with many other dissolved microscopic impurities commonly found in water supplies.
3. How often should the filters be replaced?
The CA3001 takes the guesswork out of filter replacement by monitoring filter usage and letting you know when a filter needs changing.
- PPC + T33 Filter: Up to 2,000 litres
- RO Membrane: Up to 4,000 litres
How long each filter lasts will depend on how much water you use. A household using more filtered water each day will reach the filter capacity sooner than a household using less.
There’s no need to track dates or estimate when your filters are due — the CA3001 will alert you when it’s time to replace them.
Actual filter life may vary depending on incoming water quality and usage conditions.
4. How fast does the CA3001 produce filtered water?
The CA3001 produces approximately 0.26 litres of purified water per minute, providing a steady supply of fresh filtered water for everyday use.
5. What tank capacity does the CA3001 have?
The system includes a 5.5-litre detachable main water tank along with a 1.8-litre portable water jug, plus a 1 litre cold storage tank internally, giving you added flexibility for serving and refilling throughout the day.
6. Can I adjust the water temperature?
Yes. The CA3001 features nine temperature settings, ranging from 10°C to 98°C, making it ideal for chilled water, warm drinks, tea, coffee, and food preparation.
7. Does the CA3001 have a child safety lock?
Yes. A built-in child-lock function helps prevent accidental dispensing or operation, making it a practical option for households with young children. This can be controlled via the LCD display panel.
8. Is the CA3001 energy efficient?
Yes. The unit is designed for efficient household use and draws 2000W of power only when heating or cooling water. It operates on 110V–220V / 50Hz, making it suitable for most homes.
9. Does the CA3001 need plumbing or professional installation?
No. The CA3001 is a plug-and-play benchtop water filter system and does not require plumbing or professional installation. Simply fill the water tank, connect to power, and it is ready to use.

12. What type of water should I use in the CA3001?
The system is designed for use with standard tap water. Using untreated sources such as dam, tank, or well water may shorten filter life and may require additional pre-treatment.
13. Is the CA3001 easy to clean and maintain?
