- RO100ROPOT Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System, Portable RO Filtration with Remineralization, No Installation, WQA Certified - ROPOT, 5-Stage RO

I purchased this Bluevua system in Nov 2022. I made the purchase specifically to: (i) save money from having to constantly purchase bottled water from the grocery store; and (ii) any bottled water delivery services available in my area were too expensive. I deliberately waited a long time before leaving a review because I wanted to be 100% certain of how this water filtration system worked - how well the machine operated, how consistently it performed, whether the taste of the water would remain consistent over time, and more importantly, what it would be like to change the filters. Having had this system for over a year, I strongly recommend this unit. I live in SoCal where the municipal water quality is such that a good filtration system is needed. First, the taste: I was always reluctant to buy a filtration system because I could never be sure of the taste, which I'm extremely sensitive to - it's the reason I always disliked Brita-type systems (which I've tried a few different ones) - the water always tasted vaguely weird and unpleasant ("turbidity" is the word I think some use). The Bluevua filtered water has the refreshing crispness that I like (it was its good taste that surprised me most). It continues to produce the same result the whole time I've been using it. Second, changing the filters: The instructions in the user manual are clear (there are also some instruction videos on YouTube as well); changing the different filters in and out has presented no confusion or problems; the filters last a nice amount of time - all four lasted a little over a year before the unit finally showed I needed to change some of them out. I think the cost of each of the filters is reasonable. Cleaning and care of the unit has been easy - wiping down the unit, washing the carafe, and washing the holding reservoir is simple and straightforward (just be sure to perform regular maintenance; I cleaning/wash everything about once every 3 or 4 months). Most importantly, I definitely achieved my previous stated goals with my purchase of this unit. The overall price of the unit is also reasonable and worth it if trying to find a cost-saving alternative. The only caution (but not a big deal) to mention is that, after each filtration cycle is complete, the holding reservoir has leftover water (which is normal). As the instructions say, you shouldn't try to reuse this water through another filtration cycle. I did, and you definitely notice a deterioration in taste. Instead, I use this leftover water to water plants, which has been great. I mention this in case you're located in an area where water-use bills might get high. In closing, if you're looking for a good, reliable, easy-to-use water filtration system that produces excellent results, you should definitely consider giving this system a try. Thanks for reading!

I’ve been using the Bluevua RO100ROPOT Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System for about 2–3 weeks and I’m really happy with it so far. The water tastes noticeably cleaner and smoother, and setup was super easy with no installation needed. I also love the modern design and glass carafe. Overall, it’s been a great purchase and feels worth the investment.

HIGHLIGHTS * Gives super high quality water that tastes so good. * No installation required, best solution if you are renting an apartment. * The filtering process is fast enough. * The pitcher is top quality glass. No need to worry about your water sitting inside a plastic container * The controls are straightforward to use. * The filter life indicator is super useful. * There is TDS indicator. I looked at it the first day and was impressed by the improvement. The photo is from the first day after I did all the required setup procedure. I never had to check it again. You will know why when you taste the water that comes out of Bluevua. * There is some noise when it operates, but it is not annoying or anything. I barely notice it. * Yes, you need to manually fill the filter with water, but we have been doing that anyways for our PUR/Brita filter. MY STORY I decided to switch to an RO-based filter because the popular low cost filter solutions from Brita, PUR, etc. failed to reduce the hardness of water and/or to improve improve its taste. Now I can say that the water was tasting like crap back then. Finally, I decided to invest some more money because drinking good quality is kinda important. I found many RO-based filters, but most of them needed complicated installation process and some modification to our plumbing system. Since we are renting an apartment, we are not allowed to make permanent changes to the plumbing system. After a lot searching, I found this Bluevua filter to be the one filter that looked promising in terms of customer feedback and compatible in terms of all our requirements. I decided to buy Bluevua. I set it up as per the instructions. The first glass of water from Bluevua brought pure joy and made me realize that, all these years, I have been drinking water that tasted like crap. Everything changed from that point onwards. 1) I started liking drinking just pure water because it tastes so good ( I know this is silly, but it was an unpleasant experience to drink water that came out of Brita and PUR). 2) My electric kettle used to be full of white mineral deposits. After buying Bluevua, I descaled my kettle using vinegar for one more time and started using only Bluevua's water with my kettle. It has been two months and my water kettle has zero (yes, literally zero) mineral deposits. Before Bluevua, my kettle used to build up white mineral deposits just 3 days after descaling it. 3) Even my tea used to taste like crap because the tea compound used to react with minerals in water and used to create some black substances. Now my tea tastes like real tea.

The water in my area has always had issues and I live in an apartment so I didn’t want to do anything crazy so I purchased this tabletop water purifier. It was easy to install and took maybe 3 minutes. After completing the setup, I finally got a taste and it was night and day difference. I don’t know how I had gone so long. It felt like I was actually drinking water that was safe. Keep in mind that it will strip the good minerals out of the water too, but it comes with a remineralization filter so there are no issues as long as you use it. A minor annoyance for me is the water pot size feels too small for me. I feel like I have to run the filter every few hours and the water filtration takes awhile. Plus you have to dump the “waste” water the filter leaves behind after a full cycle, so you have to take the water jug out (it normally drips) and then you have to dump the waste water and re fill it and then wait 5 another minutes for it to complete the cycle. One solution to this issue is to have a large water pitcher that you refill, but you still have to complete the same process to refill the large pitcher. I solved this by running food safe water pump from the tank to a drain so I could simplify the process. Overall I do recommend and understand there are in line options that get rid of the complaints I was mentioning, but at the same time for the price I expect some ease of use.

I absolutely love this thing, with a few drawbacks. If you can, I would advise getting an udersink variation, as this takes up a lot of time and counterspace in comparison. Also, I live by myself, and have to fill this thing 2-3 times a day so if you have any more than 2 people I'd think that the hassle of refilling again and again would be painful. I use this water for everything possible: -Ice -Pasta/Rice water -Humidifier -Coffee -Essential oil diffuser -etc. I would bathe in it if I could. It tastes so smooth that it has ruined all other water for me, and I only want my RO water. It's to the point where I bring a full water bottle every time I leave the house. (helps keep me hydrated!) I did a fair amount of research before buying, and this seemed to be my best option for my situation as I couldn't install an undersink unit. This thing is expensive but it works. If you are consuming the water, be sure to ALWAYS use the remineralizer attatchment. This is because plain RO water is so pure that it will actually pull nutrients/minerals out of your body, ironically dehydrating you. It can also cause long term effects in the body. Same goes for DI or distilled water. One comes included and needs replacing only every 6 motnhs or so. Use it. I've filled the carafe about 100 times or so in the past month and here are a few things I've learned: 1. There is a surprising amount of waste water that takes some getting used to 2. The tank when filled to max fills about 1 and 1/5 carafes, which is annoying. To combat this fill the tank to about an inch below max so that the water runs out before filling the carafe. This way it wastes a bit less water and I need to refill the tank with every carafe. I would recommend this for ease of use. 3. The TDS-in increases throughout the fill process due to the waste water being pumped out and concentrating in the remaining water. 4. The TDS-out is NEVER zero, but for me, where the water isn't too bad, averages around 7, which I'd say is pretty good. Sometimes, it spikes somewhere in the middle of the fill to the low 20's as shown in the 2nd picture. However thats the worst I've seen it. At least its honest and accurate, and it isn't something you would likely get in an undersink application. To simplify, I'll make a pros and cons; PROS: - Extremely effective at removing contaminants such as fluoride, pesticides, or even microplastics. A feature unattainable from jug filters like Brita or Zero water -Water tastes amazing, especially with the remineralizer. Awesome for infused water as well. -TDS reader is a really cool feature -Easy to operate, get used to it quickly -Automatic backflush -High quality overall, especially the Glass carafe CONS: -can be tedious to fill and refill -Waste water is more than expected -Has a fairly large footprint, in my small apartment it takes up a lot of counterspace -Expensive -Max fill tank is an odd amount of water, only one full carafe per tank -the different fill settings are a bit hard to gauge if the carafe isn't empty. (S:0.5L M:1L L:1.7L) TL:DR Buy this if you want to properly protect yourself from the vast array of contaminants in your water, or if you want some water so tasty that it changes your way of living. Worth the money and counter space if you can spare it.

I love this machine for the design, ease of use, digital information, the glass carafe and clean tasting water. The bucket that you fill has a handle that folds down and two indentations on the side to grab hold of. I am small and have a bad shoulder; the design allows me to easily fill it, lift it and put it into place. It tucks nicely under my upper cabinets and is a cinch to move to fill and put back into place. I love this water filter!!!!! I called customer service asking for the data on the mineral filter and am thrilled with the report they sent me and the email below: Thank you for reaching out to us. This is Cara from Bluevua Support. I have heard details from our phone agent Rochelle who received your call yesterday. It is fantastic to hear that you are loving your RO countertop system and I am more than happy to provide you with the information you are looking for: First and foremost, please accept my sincere apology for the lack of information on our website regarding the mineral balls used in the Remineralization Filter. Please allow me to clarify their composition and purpose for you. There are two types of mineral balls in the filter: 1. Silver gray Magnesium granules - These are made of 99.5% pure magnesium and contribute to adding essential magnesium back into the water. 2. Gray Hydrogen ORP ball - The main ingredients of these balls are magnesium, zinc, tourmaline, Far-infrared powder, and silica. These balls work to add essential minerals necessary for proper human development and health, such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and others that are commonly found in natural mineral waters. Both mineral balls have undergone rigorous testing and have been approved by SGS-independent labs. They meet the content limits for cadmium, lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBDEs, and PBBs, as set by the RoHS directive (EU) 2002/95/EC amending Annex II to Directive 2011/65/EU.

The answers came swiftly and is as amazing now as before. STELLAR PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! GREAT COMPANY!!!!!!!

Updated November 2024. I've had this water filter for 2 years now and it has worked flawlessly without any issues. This month, for the first time, I replaced the Reverse Osmosis filter which is the most expensive of the 4 filters. It lasted for all of those two years. The other 3 filters I have replaced 2 times so, for me, those are each good for about a year. But that doesn't say anything about how long the filters last unless I give some idea of how often I filter water. I'm single so not as much as 2 people or a family. During the summer months I'll fill the pitcher 10 to 12 times a week. During the winter months around 7 to 9 times a week. That's mostly for coffee and tea and then some for cooking. The ppm of tap water has slightly increased here since my original review. Now anywhere from around 250 as before but sometimes as high as 350+ ppm. After filtering and according to the machine, filtered water still comes out at about 8 ppm although on occasion spikes to 12 or 14 ppm. So, after 2 years I am very happy with this filter. It has been reliable and without any problems, the water tastes great and I would buy again. I bought this in November of 2022 and it is now June of 2023 so I've been using it now for around 8 months. I have had no issues with this device and it does what it should, provide great water without the extras which I don't want in my water. If you can believe the read out on the filter, my ppm of whatever is in the water coming out of the faucet is usually between 250 to 300 ppm. The filtered water coming out usually reads 8 ppm + or - a couple of ppm. It does take around 4 or 5 minutes to filter a full pitcher so don't expect it to fill the pitcher in 30 seconds. I expected that and, as best I know, that's in the ball park of how long most reverse osmosis countertop machines take. After 8 months the filters, according to the machine, are at the half way point before needing replacement. I should say that most days I only filter one pitcher of water. However, there are some days when I filter multiple pitchers. In any case, it does get used at least one pitcher full everyday. So, all in all, I'm pretty happy with the life of the filters before they will need replacing. It is a fairly large device and takes up a pretty good amount of counter space equal to about the amount of space two drip coffee makers might take up. Also if you're a water conservationist, it does backwash the filters each time before filling the pitcher. So there is some water in the reservoir that will need to be poured down the drain with each usage. To my mind that's a good thing because that backwash extends the life of the filters. Bottom line: after 8 months of usage I am very happy with this device.

Very impressed with this filter machine. For a reasonable price, it does everything that I was looking for: RO filtration, remineralization, filter life indication, without the things I didn't want to pay for: water heating and uv light sterilization. It appears to base the filter life on the amount of use and TDS readings of the supply water instead of a set time like a fridge filter or number of filter cycles, which is great. The built-in handle and hand grip shape of the water tank make water changes and dumping reject water into plants super easy. I've given this thing quite a workout in the month since I purchased it, and the whole family is enjoying the dramatic improvement in water quality. I'm curious to see how long the filters last before replacement. While the pitcher isn't huge, I find the volume of filtered water for each batch to be sufficient for our typical use. I normally run a few cycles and stockpile water in containers on the counter and in the fridge for the family, running the filter as needed to keep everything full. The only nitpick is that some water spills when you disconnect the tank from the machine, but this hasn't been an issue for me since we have a water softener (no water spots on the counter if I don't wipe the spill)

Good customer service and high quality!

A serious bit of kit, expensive but if you look at the amount of water you drink & given the amount of foreign particles in our water nowadays, this is a very important way to ensure your drinking healthy. Our daughter had one for a long time & change our mind set. The water quality is amazing plus safe so will pay for itself in no time given the amount of bottled water we were buying plus good for the environment as less bottles going into recycling. Very easy to set up & use would highly recommended especially if your in a hard water area. The water tastes amazing plus you can see just how much pollutants are removed from your tap water which makes you think!!

Después de varios de consumir el agua purificada, probé nuevamente el agua que consumía antes y el sabor es abismal, esta se siente fresca y con un muy grato sabor. La recomiendo mucho

Totally awesome unit. Filters fast and the water tastes great!

This is a high quality unit which produces extremely low TDS. The addition of minerals allows around 48 hours of holding the water in jugs as there is no chlorine present. Produces 1.8Lts within 5 minutes. I use the waste water for pot plants.
