Osmio Zero 2.0 Reverse Osmosis System (White) - All Questions

Great question, thank you. The final filter in the system contains calcium and magnesium active ceramic balls. They have the effect of adding around 20-30 ppm in total to remineralise the water. Reverse osmosis as a process does not affect the pH (hydrogen ion), however because of the purity of the water CO2 is dissolved from contact with the air as soon as the water is purified which forms carbonic acid. You can observe using a digital pH meter the pH slowly falling as a glass is left standing over a few minutes. The remineralisation ionises the water to counteract the carbonic acid, however the resulting pH entirely depends on the level of CO2 in the water as well as in the air (so depending on how long the glass is left out). When you drink the water, as soon as this reaches your stomach, containing hydrochloric acid of pH 2.0, whatever the pH of the water you drink, it becomes acidic straight away, we focus on the purity, the alkalinity (not measured by pH but by the mg/l of mineral content). We also recommend to use this water from our machine with the Osmio Hydrogen Water Bottle to free hydrogen around 1-1.5 mg/l in order to further enhance the health benefits of drinking water. Please do give us a call if you would like any further advice.

Hi Emily, this system needs to use power and also water which is microbiologically safe. The reason for that is because if the bacteria multiplies in the membrane then that filter stops working and will let a high level of TDS (total dissolved solids) through it.

Hi Elisa, we have not had this particular system put through any independent third-party testing which is what we are allowed to publish by the WQA guidelines. We have for the Osmio Clarity filters as these are 0.2 microns, instead, the Osmio Zero membrane is 0.001-0001 micron. So the tests we have done are with South East Water Labs normal portability analysis Schedule 10 parameters, so we know the levels it does and some parameters work more consistently over time, in short, gases can be less well filtered out as the carbon block ages, as it absorbs like a sponge. So it's important to change that every 6 months. Reverse osmosis and distillation are preferred to be the best ways to do water quality because it avoids having to test for most things, there being more than 20,000 we could test for.

Hi Tom, it's really more than that and all the parts of the Osmio Zero are available and the system is servicable, so the system could be refurbished after 5 years. It's normal for a reverse osmosis pump to last less than 10 years but these can be replaced and the system carry on. We often trade in 5-7 year old ones to be reconditioned to provide for resale on our ebay store which sells only used or graded items or we give them away to Charities.

Hi Megan,
This can happen when a filter in the supply pitcher is not pushed to the very bottom. Please check and re-install the filter in the supply pitcher,. If the problem still persists please get in touch with us via email info@osmiowater.co.uk or give us a call on 03301137181.

It is efficient for the reduction of hormones. The typical efficiency of Reverse Osmosis Membrane is - 93-96 %. This includes hormones.

Hi Nina yes it does reduce to below detectable levels <0.1mg/l. In short, any filters that use activated carbon filters are capable of removing around 50% of estrogen-based on the type of cartridge. All distillers, reverse osmosis and some ceramic filters (such as Coldstream) are also an efficient solution when it comes to hormone reduction.

Osmio Zero has an instant heating element, and the system only consumes high power when water is dispensed at 65C, 85C, or 100C. The system is very energy efficient, as it is heating water on a cup by cup basis. When filtering or dispensing ambient water - it is consuming very little.

Hello,
The system will give a warning if filters are blocked or exhausted.
We recommend changing filters every 6 months. We will send the filter remainder to the email used to place the order.

you can replace the post filter with an empty one from the sanitization kit.

The filtered tank is made from virgin polypropylene. When water leaves the filtered water tank it goes through rare earth coated heating element and silicone tubing.
