About The System

Bottled-Water Purity From Your Kitchen Tap

Sydney's mains water is treated and safe by regulatory standards — but it arrives at your tap containing chloramine, fluoride, trace heavy metals, and in some areas nitrates and PFAS. For households that cook, brew coffee, and drink directly from the tap every day, reverse osmosis is the most comprehensive solution available for residential use.

The Pure Plus+ uses a 75 GPD high-efficiency RO membrane to reject up to 99% of dissolved solids at the molecular level — including fluoride (up to 95%), chloramine, lead, copper, arsenic, nitrates, PFAS and microplastics. What passes through the membrane is near-pure water. Stages 1 and 2 pre-treat the feed water to protect the membrane. Stage 4 post-polishes taste. Stage 5 — the alkaline remineralisation cartridge — adds calcium, magnesium and potassium back, raising the pH to 7.5–8.5 for a clean, naturally balanced flavour.

The 12-litre storage tank ensures water is always available on demand — no waiting for filtration to complete before you can fill a glass. The dedicated chrome filter tap is installed through your benchtop, and a 3-way mixer tap upgrade is available if you'd prefer one fixture over two.

Jean-Paul installs every Pure Plus+ system personally across Sydney. He's a licensed NSW plumber (Lic. 461511C), not a subcontractor — every installation is done by the same person who answers the phone. Fixed price of $840 covers system, tank, chrome filter tap, all fittings, and licensed installation. No hidden extras.

Filter Stage Breakdown

Five stages work in sequence to deliver near-pure, alkaline remineralised water. Each stage has a specific role — from protecting the membrane to polishing the final output.

1
5-Micron Polyspun Sediment Filter
Pre-filter — Sediment, Particles, Silt
The first stage is a 5-micron polyspun sediment cartridge that removes physical particles from the feed water — sand, silt, rust, and suspended solids. Its primary job is to protect the RO membrane from clogging, extending membrane life and maintaining flow performance. This cartridge is replaced every 6 months in Sydney's mains water conditions.
SedimentSiltRust particlesMembrane protection
2
CTO Carbon Block Pre-Filter
Pre-filter — Chlorine, Chloramine, Taste & Odour
The CTO (Chlorine, Taste, Odour) carbon block pre-filter removes free chlorine and chloramine before the water contacts the RO membrane — chlorine is particularly damaging to thin-film composite membranes. This stage also removes VOCs, herbicides, pesticides, and chemical taste and odour compounds. Replaced every 6–12 months.
ChloramineChlorineVOCsMembrane protection
3
75 GPD RO Membrane
Primary filter — 0.0001 micron, 99% TDS rejection
The heart of the system. The thin-film composite reverse osmosis membrane operates at 0.0001 microns — fine enough to reject virtually all dissolved contaminants including fluoride (up to 95%), lead, copper, arsenic, nitrates, PFAS, bacteria and cysts. Water molecules pass through; dissolved solids are flushed to drain. The membrane is typically replaced every 2–3 years.

4
Post Carbon Polish Filter
Post-filter — Final taste polish
After the RO membrane, this inline carbon post-filter removes any residual taste or odour compounds that may have developed in the storage tank. It acts as a final quality gate, ensuring every glass drawn from the tap tastes crisp and fresh. Replaced annually as part of the standard service.

5
Alkaline Remineralisation Filter
Post-filter — pH 7.5–8.5, minerals added
Pure RO water is slightly acidic and stripped of dissolved minerals. This stage passes water through calcium, magnesium and potassium-rich media to raise the pH to 7.5–8.5 and reintroduce beneficial electrolyte minerals. The result is water that tastes smooth and naturally fresh rather than flat — the same treatment used in premium bottled alkaline water. Replaced annually.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Reverse osmosis is one of the only residential filtration technologies proven to reduce fluoride effectively — removing up to 95% in a properly maintained system. Standard carbon filters and most other filter types cannot remove fluoride, which is a dissolved ion that passes through most media. The RO membrane in the Pure Plus+ operates at 0.0001 microns, which is fine enough to reject fluoride ions along with most other dissolved solids.
A standard 5-stage reverse osmosis installation typically takes around 2 hours. Jean-Paul connects the system to your cold water supply, mounts the storage tank, drills a dedicated hole in your benchtop for the filter tap, and runs the drain line to your waste pipe. He walks you through the system before leaving, including how to change cartridges and when to schedule the next service.
Pure reverse osmosis water is highly purified but slightly acidic (pH ~6) and stripped of dissolved minerals. The alkaline remineralisation stage passes water through a mineral-rich media (calcium, magnesium and potassium) to raise the pH to around 7.5–8.5 and reintroduce beneficial minerals. The result is clean RO-grade water that tastes naturally fresh and smooth rather than flat — similar in character to premium bottled water.
RO systems do produce some wastewater — typically 2–4 litres of drain water per litre of filtered output. This is an inherent characteristic of the reverse osmosis process. In practice for a typical Sydney household drawing 3–5 litres per day from the filter tap, the additional water usage is modest. If water efficiency is a priority, the Pure Compact's tankless design achieves a better waste ratio than traditional tank-style RO systems.
Different stages have different service intervals. Pre-filters (sediment and carbon) should be replaced every 6–12 months. The RO membrane typically lasts 2–3 years. Post carbon and alkaline stages are replaced annually. Jean-Paul offers an annual service for $420 including all filters and labour, or you can DIY the pre/post filters for around $180 per year — the membrane swap every 2–3 years adds a modest extra cost.
RO systems use a storage tank to maintain consistent pressure at the filter tap. The typical flow rate is around 1.5–2 litres per minute — enough to fill a glass in seconds and a pot in under a minute. The 12L storage tank in the Pure Plus+ ensures water is always available on demand without waiting for filtration to complete.
Yes — RO water is used as primary drinking water by millions of households worldwide and is widely regarded as among the safest available. The concern about mineral removal is addressed in the Pure Plus+ by the alkaline remineralisation stage, which reintroduces calcium, magnesium and potassium. A balanced diet provides far more mineral intake than tap water regardless — the remineralisation stage simply ensures the water doesn't taste flat.
A 5-stage RO system removes a broad spectrum of contaminants. The RO membrane (0.0001 microns) rejects up to 99% of dissolved solids including fluoride (up to 95%), chloramine, chlorine, heavy metals (lead, copper, arsenic), nitrates, PFAS, microplastics, bacteria, and cysts. The carbon stages target VOCs, chemical taste and odour, and protect the membrane. The alkaline stage replenishes beneficial minerals for a balanced pH output.
