Description

Why Choose the CARA RO Water Station?

Advanced Water Filtration

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.

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?

Filter lifespan will vary depending on your water quality and household usage. As a general guide, the PPC + T33 filter is designed to filter up to 2,000 litres, which is typically around 6–7 months of regular use. The RO membrane filters up to 4,000 litres, with an expected lifespan of around 12–14 months under normal conditions. The built-in dual TDS monitoring system helps indicate water quality and can assist in knowing when replacements may be due.
