Tap lever

The only control the user touches in normal use. Push the lever and the pump kicks in automatically; release and it stops. Pressure-sensing inside the system — no electrical switch on the tap.

LED filter indicators

Three LEDs on the front of the unit show life remaining on the cartridges. Green for fine, amber at ~30 days remaining, red when due. Service trigger you can’t miss — useful for short-let owners not on site.

Filter-change reset

Single recessed button on the front, pressed for 3 seconds after each cartridge swap. Resets the LED counter for the next 12 months. We do this on the annual service visit; DIY users do it after swapping the kit.

Power switch

Rocker switch on the transformer cable. Use it to power the system off when going away for more than two weeks — saves the ~5 W standby draw and lets the system fully depressurise. Always-on in normal use.

Mains inlet isolator

Quarter-turn ball valve upstream of the system. Engineer’s on/off for service work. Pair with the power switch when going on holiday so the system is fully off and water-isolated.

Drain saddle valve

Isolates the drain line. Used by the engineer during cartridge change to avoid spillage — bypasses the small reject-water stream that would otherwise run during the swap.

TDS sample port

Small push-fit port on the product line. Engineer takes a TDS reading at each annual service to verify the twin membranes are still rejecting at 95%+. Below 95% triggers a membrane swap.

Inline digital TDS · optional

Battery-powered TDS display fitted on the tap line. Two buttons: mode (inlet vs outlet TDS) and calibrate. Shows real-time purity on the worktop. £65 add-on for the data-curious owner.

Compact filter block

All six stages housed in a single moulded block roughly half the depth of the standard 6-stage. Food-grade polypropylene. Quarter-turn cartridges. This is the entire system you see when you open the cupboard.

Twin RO membranes

Two thin-film composite membranes in parallel inside the block. Same membrane class as our commercial RO range — specified at 99% PFAS rejection and 99.8% TDS rejection. Replaced together every 2–3 years.

Built-in DC boost pump

24 V DC diaphragm pump pressurises feed water. This is the part that enables tankless operation — without it you’d need a tank. Sealed unit, 5-year design life, no user maintenance.

24 V transformer

External plug-in transformer steps mains 230 V down to 24 V DC for the pump. Plugs into a normal under-sink 13 A socket. CE marked, energy-efficient standby.

Aquaspring cartridge

The stage-6 re-mineralisation cartridge. Food-grade media puts calcium and magnesium back into the pure RO water in measured doses. Same cartridge as Standard PRO — service plans share parts.

Dedicated chrome faucet

Slim lever-style drinking-water tap. Drilled into the worktop next to your main kitchen tap. Chrome standard, brushed nickel on request, no extra cost.

Drain saddle clamp

Clamps onto the existing waste pipe under the sink. Self-piercing — no soldering, no repipe. Drain output is the small reject-water stream from the membranes — less than half the volume of a standard 6-stage.

JG tubing & fittings

1/4" food-grade LDPE tubing in colour codes: blue inlet, red drain, white product. Push-fit fittings throughout. Tool-free service.

Dedicated kitchen tap

Slim chrome spout next to your main tap. Press the lever, the pump kicks in, water comes out within 2 seconds at full flow. Your regular tap still works normally for washing-up.

Fresh every pour

No tank means no stagnation. Every glass is freshly made from cold mains water through the filters and membranes — not water that sat in a tank for hours. Matters more than people expect.

Coffee, formula, ice

Bigger taste change shows up in coffee, tea and stock than in cold drinking water. Re-mineralised RO is suitable for baby formula too — balanced minerals, no chlorine, no lead.

Pause for holiday

Going away for more than a fortnight? Flip the transformer power switch and close the mains inlet isolator. Flush the lines on return. Two-step shutdown shown on handover.

Annual filter kit

Direct Flow filter kit from £65. All six service stages in one tool-free swap. CleverBloom service plan includes the kit, the visit, the TDS test and the LED reset — or DIY in 20 minutes and we post the kit.

Twin membranes 2–3 yr

The two RO membranes are replaced together every 2–3 years based on the TDS reading. We test at each annual service and only replace when rejection drops below 95%.

No tank sanitisation

Tank-based RO needs sanitising every 3 years to control bacterial load. Tankless eliminates this entirely — no tank, no biofilm, no sanitisation step. One less thing on the service plan.

2-yr warranty · 5-yr housings

Full 2-year manufacturer warranty on the system, including the pump and transformer. Housings warranted 5 years against leaks. CleverBloom handles any warranty claim direct with Ecosoft.
