{"product_id":"pentair-t600ro","title":"Pentair T600RO","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow this little guy from Pentair is something special.  Tankless, easily replaceable cartridges, and looks like a tiny desktop computer.  It even has a bunch of blinky lights to tell you when to replace the cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the best part?  It's one of the least wasteful RO systems on the market.   In general, reverse osmosis flush about 3 gallons down the drain for every 1 gallon you get to drink.  But that's in really great water conditions.  If the incoming water's not so great?  It can get as bad as 10 gallons down the drain!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut according to Pentair, you might even get close to the holiest of grails in RO: only flushing 1 gallon down the drain for every 1 gallon you get to drink!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(YMMV, of course, but that's a helluva selling point, right??)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBut how does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe incoming water goes through the composite filter to get rid of big stuff, like sediment.  Then it goes through the activated carbon filter, handling any chlorine or taste issues. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, like every other RO system, the water is pressurized and forced through the membrane. Anything that can't get through gets dumped down the drain.  And usually this means some of the incoming water gets dumped too. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat about changing the cartridges? How often should I do that?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's blinky lights that tell you when, but the RO cartridge should be replaced every two years, and the other two cartridges should be replaced every year. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, if you notice any taste\/smell issues, or if there's a drop in water pressure, you should consider replacing them sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrior warning, replacing the cartridges will feel super cool.  I'm not even kidding a little bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe whole system is about 6\" wide, 18\" long, and about 17\" tall. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Right Filter","offers":[{"title":"New Installation","offer_id":46908290236657,"sku":"sku-50422576218427","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pre\/Post Cartridge Refill","offer_id":46908290269425,"sku":"sku-50422576251195","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RO Membrane Refill","offer_id":46908290302193,"sku":"sku-50422576283963","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5711\/6312\/files\/61HKpSIsVmL._SL1500_-1613218679.jpg?v=1757415550","url":"https:\/\/villohome.com\/products\/pentair-t600ro","provider":"Villohome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
