Watts Premier RO 4 Stage vs WP Five-Stage RO System

We have heard good and a little not so good about Watts RO System products. So a test was in order, to compare 2 of their products. The brand is popular and has a good track record.

Watts Premier Reverse Osmosis Overview

As we know, water goes through a semi-permeable membrane in an RO filtration system.

Water treatment systems are often used in tandem with water softeners to make the water from the tap a whole lot better. This is especially true when using hot water in the home. People use treated water for a lot of things. In the main, we use it at home for drinking, cleaning veggies, cooking, washing clothes and dishes. Aquariums and watering plants are among a host of other things. A reverse osmosis system at home ensures that you get great tasting clean water right off the tap. Of course, no one wants to purchase any random sort of RO system you can find out there. In our search for the best watts premier, we came up with three parameters. These are that we can use to check each system that comes our way. These parameters include the quality of the output water, first of all. Next the amount of good water it produces. Final one how much waste water the system expels.

The next thing to consider is how many stages do we need? Will a three stage syetm be enough or do we need to look at a five or even seven stage RO system?

Given those parameters, we can make a reasonable comparison. Choosing between the Watts Premier WP531411, 4-Stage Reverse Osmosis System first. Compared this with Watts Premier WP500032 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System.

We find the design quite impressive by looking at the specs provided by the manufacturer. There are filters that deal with contaminants and other stuff you don’t want in your water before the water actually gets to the reverse osmosis filtration unit.
Other than that, there is also a post filter after the RO unit, which is actually a carbon filter. After all this filtration business, we just had to taste the water from this water filter system – and the water tasted great.
