Pure, Healthy Water From Your Faucet
Start drinking healthy and stop drinking impurities with your own home Reverse Osmosis Water Purification. Express Water offers the highest impurity reduction rated RO Membrane for up to 99% reduction of major water impurities.
We have designed our system’s five stages of filtration to work together for long lasting high grade impurity filtration, giving you the cleanest water and the best value in filtration.
Choose the best in home filtration and start drinking healthy today!
- Express Water’s 1st stage is a Sediment filter that targets dirt, dust, sand, and rust.
- The 2nd and 3rd stages are Granular Activated Carbon and Activated Carbon Block Filters which focus on pollutants like chlorine, volatile organic chemicals, and odor causing compounds.
- These early stages help extend the life of the 4th stage, the Reverse Osmosis Membrane. The membrane focuses on the most difficult impurities like lead, arsenic, chromium, fluoride, TDS, radium and others.
- The 5th stage is a Post Activated Carbon Filter which does a final pass on your water, right before it comes through the faucet, removing any possible taste or odor.
It’s the combination of these stages that has given countless customers water purer than bottled water straight from their faucet.
Independently Tested
Express Water RO Systems have been independently tested by a third-party ANAB accredited testing laboratory that use established NSF / ANSI drinking water standards, including NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 58, 401 and EPA 524.2, for the reduction of TDS (total dissolved solids), chlorine taste & odors, emerging compound and incidental impurities, and more.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This is the permeate pump available on Amazon that I purchased and am reviewing below:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VPPRX4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Let me start by saying I will NEVER have another RO system without a permeate pump again. Permeate pumps use the wastewater that is expelled during the RO process to greatly increase water pressure at the RO faucet, minimize wastewater and fill the tank in less time. They can be installed on nearly all standard RO systems aftermarket so there’s no need to buy a bundled RO system that includes the permeate pump (since most of those cost a lot more than buying the units separately).
I was introduced to permeate pumps about 4 years ago. I purchased a Watts Premier RO system from Costco (when they still sold Watts Premier) and had it installed by a plumber (since I needed a hole drilled in my granite countertop). I consider myself pretty handy and although plumbing in general isn’t rocket science, I’m a large framed man that hates trying to squeeze under sinks to do pretty much anything plumbing related. After the RO was installed, I was getting smaller (and broken) pieces of ice at my refrigerator since my RO was feeding my ice maker through a longer 1/4” line from the kitchen island to the refrigerator. This a drawback of a lot of RO systems which feed ice makers that aren't in very close proximity. After researching I came across a permeate pump (sold through Watts Premiere) and made the purchase. The included instructions were specific for the RO unit I had and it was an easy install since the RO was already up and running. Immediately, you will notice several things with the permeate pump. 1) Permeate pumps make some noise. They generally click or “thump” every few seconds. This happens because the wastewater from the RO builds up pressure inside the pump that is then used to push fresh (permeate) water into the storage tank. When the pressure builds and releases, you get clicking or thumping until your tank is full. 2) Your RO faucet pressure increases dramatically. As a result of the increased permeate water being forced into the storage tank, the tank pressure within the tank bladder increases and you end up with water pressure comparable to your regular faucet. The line pressure at the refrigerator & ice maker (assuming you have them all hooked together) is also the beneficiary of the increased pressure and you get full sized ice cubes again.
So, why wouldn’t everybody want one of these? Well, I think most people have never heard of them. If you have, then the results speak for themselves. HOWEVER, these do make noise...especially if your RO faucet has an air gap (that little hole in the back of the faucet that inevitably leaks water out of it when the drain line gets blocked with something). With an air gap, permeate pumps get VERY NOISY. The pump action not only clicks (or thumps) under the sink, but the air gap sound created from the pump gets much louder as well. The air gap noise on my Watts Premier Pure Plus unit was so loud I actually debated on getting another permeate pump in our new house. I ended up buying a highly reviewed non-air gap RO system from Amazon and had it installed for a month in my new house. As usual, the water taste and purity was perfect and I am pleased that my ice cubes were normal sized (since the builder installed a larger RO line from my island to the fridge). I just realized how much I was missing the RO tank pressure (which equates to faster filling of water jugs & cooking pots). I went back to Amazon and found this permeate pump which said it was the newer model that makes less noise. The unit arrived in about a week (no 2-day prime shipping available for it). I watched a YouTube video for installing it on a basic 5-stage RO and had it all hooked up in about 20 mins. I’m once again in RO bliss. The water pressure in the faucet just makes me smile...no more waiting a minute to fill a normal glass with water (OK it’s not literally a minute but felt that way to me). The noise is considerably less from the pump itself. I ended up buying some u-shaped plastic clamps (Amazon search: TmallTech Big Simple Clip Clamp 2.5" Bracket Reverse Osmosis RO Membrane Housing (Pack of 3)) that hold the permeate pump to one of the RO filters so the pump is not directly mounted to the cabinet wall (like it was at my previous house). Also, since I don’t have an air gap on this RO faucet, I have no additional noise from the faucet. If my house is silent, you still hear the pump cycling the water, but it’s minimal and it’s only until the tank is full. After that, it doesn’t cycle back on until water has been used from the tank. All in all, I missed the permeate pump benefits and will never have another RO system without one. I will also make sure I don’t get an RO with an air-gap faucet either.
Hopefully this review helps people.
I installed the system on Saturday, the 7th. If I were to mount this under the sink, as it was intended, I am sure that everything I would need would have been there, except maybe for a fitting to tie into the water line. The one supplied is for a different size line than the ones in my home. I installed the unit in the basement up in the floor joists. I hung the manifold by two screws into a floor joist, next to a beam, so if I ever finish the basement, I would not have too much hanging down. The tank was 11-1/2” diameter, and it would not lay above the beam as I had hoped, so I ripped down a 2X4 to 2-1/2” wide, and tied it onto the 9” floor joists with a couple of dry wall screws, and put a piece of plywood on it with some more drywall screws and laid the tank on the shelf, directly behind the manifold.
I wanted this unit to supply water to my sink, my refrigerator, and my Keurig coffee pot. I tied into the water line, through an existing saddle valve that was used for water to the refrigerator. I ran the supply line, about 10’ to the RO unit, and fed it through a supplied valve. The plumbing was very easy and straight forward. I did add a permeate pump, which I also purchased from Amazon. It was the ERP1000-JG-S and it came with fittings, some tubing, and a mounting bracket which I attached to the manifold on the left side by drilling two holes. I probably would not have needed the pump as I have 70psi water pressure, but my water is from a rural water company, and is fairly expensive and I didn’t want to put too much down the drain so the permeate pump would waste much less as it relieve the backpressure the RO water puts out as it tries to fill the tank and uses the waste brine as the pumping power source.
I stepped the ¼” output line to 3/8” and ran it through a “T” to branch over to the sink, and back to the refrigerator and coffee maker. Near that end, I stepped it back down to ¼” to go to those appliances. This allowed me to make a longer run with less pressure loss.
I also purchased the HM Digital TDS-EZ Water Quality TDS Tester and it arrived before the RO system, so I tested the water and it was 172ppm Total dissolved solids. I took the tester to work, and compared it to a similar unit we had at work as we have a large, commercial RO unit there that produces up to 600 gallons a day. The low cost HM Digital read identical to the high end unit we had at work. On my first batch of RO water, I tested it and it was at 19ppm TDS, which is a great number considering, the first tank gets dumped as it had impurities in it from the coating on the RO membrane and the other filters. After two weeks, the water quality has settled in at about 15ppm TDS.
The water from this unit tastes great, with absolutely no odor, and is of very high quality. I ran around for a day, testing every brand of bottled water I could get my hands on with the HM Digital TDS meter, and found that the water through the RO system is as good as, and better than most bottled water you buy. I doubt that you will find a better unit than this for twice the price. I looked at the big box stores, and most of the RO systems they sold used custom filters that they rip you off for. The filters in this unit can be purchased at a lot of different vendors, and the four extra filters they supply makes this an even better value. They do not supply an extra RO membrane, but that is usually rated to last up to 24 months so it won’t need to be replaced until after the extra filters have been exhausted. Plus, if you want a higher capacity unit, you can purchase a higher capacity RO membrane, which I may do when I wear this one out after a couple of years, but for right now, it supplies all the clean water I need.
One last note, if you are looking for a Keurig coffee maker with a water supply, you may not find it. I added a Okeler Adjustable Mini Plastic Float Valve which I also purchased from Amazon to mine as I got tired of filling it everyday.
Top reviews from other countries
We hooked it up to the fridge so it took a bit more to install it because of all the filling and emptying you need to do to get it set up. Before connecting it, I hooked up the faucet temporarily and drained it into the sink.
The first day or two, there was a strange rubber-like flavour in the water. This is normal. The rubber bladder inside the tank needs a few cycles of expansion and contraction to loosen up. If you get that flavour or rubber, all you need to do is to completely drain the tank 2 times and then it’s gone. But make sure you drain it to the point where the water comes out as a trickle and you’ll know it’s completely empty.
I have had it for 5 months and I think it’s ready for the first filter change. We have not had a single problem with the system. It does make a funny sound every once in a while but that’s just the bladder making noise.
It’s a great product at a great price. Very well packaged and easy to understand instructions. It took me only 45 minutes to set it up.
