Looking for a space-saving reverse osmosis water filter that will fit under your kitchen sink? BMB manufactures smart water purification devices that rely on nano technology for healthy filtered water ready for consumption.  BMB products are 100% manufactured in Europe to the highest European standards. The BMB Nano Quick Change Compact Reverse Osmosis System is a pre-tested and pre-assembled filtration unit that brings you an out-of-the-box performance through its plug-and-play nature and quick-connect parts.

BMB prides itself with producing “space technology water” thanks to the 0.1 nano metres pore size reverse osmosis elements. Despite the high standard of water purity achieved by the system, this 4-stage RO system that is the subject of this review is also a service-free model that uses twist disposable-style filters that are replaced in a matter of seconds.

The reverse osmosis filtration technology is now brought to you in a complex, yet economic model that relies on a 6-stage filtration system to deliver purified water for residential use. The BMB-20 +Alkaline +Detox Pumped Reverse Osmosis filter is a standing model, which has a steel stand that encapsulates 6 nano technology filters with Plug & Play components. The maintenance of the filter is made easy by the Quick-Change Filter Technology.

This pumped 6-stage reverse osmosis filter is designed for residential use, and it’s installed under the kitchen counter. The filter contains natural minerals that raise the pH of water, producing alkalinised water, allowing you to have access to alkaline water on tap.

Automatic shut off valves (ASO) in reverse osmosis filters have the role of turning off water production whenever the reverse osmosis tank is full. When the pressure in the RO tank reaches 2/3 of the pressure of the incoming water, the automatic shut off valve shuts off the incoming water. If the ASO becomes faulty or no longer operates, water in the reverse osmosis system will continuously run to drain making the system less efficient. When this happens, it becomes necessary to replace the ASO in your reverse osmosis water filter.

Water running to the drain may also be caused by other issues with your RO system. Our article on troubleshooting reverse osmosis water filter issues sheds light on other possible causes why water in your RO system keeps running to drain.

If you don’t want to call a plumber every time you need to replace the filters in your reverse osmosis system, you can quickly learn how to deal with filter replacement on your own. Reverse osmosis systems usually contain multiple filter cartridges depending on how many filtration stages it’s designed for. Different filter cartridges are replaced at different intervals, however, their replacement largely follows the same process regardless of the reverse osmosis model you have installed in your home.

Before you undertake the task of changing your filters, read our instructions below on how to replace filter cartridges in a reverse osmosis system. We’re going to focus solely on the replacement process of complementary filters (activated carbon and sediment), since we’ve discussed reverse osmosis membrane replacement in a previous article.

When making any investment for your home, it’s good to have some insider knowledge, so you can choose the best product for your family. Choosing a reverse osmosis system requires some knowledge about how reverse osmosis water filters work, what are the advantages and disadvantages to consider and what system would be right for your home.

Apart from the above parameters, water filter professionals also rely on several other aspects including the RO filter’s servicing requirements, build quality and other elements that will determine the future maintenance and servicing costs of the system.
