What filters does the PureValue 5EZ50 RO system use, and how often should they be replaced?

How do I order replacement filters for my PureValue RO drinking water filtration system?
A:
Start by clicking on the photo of your PureValue reverse osmosis drinking water system above. From there, you can add the needed filters to your cart. In some cases, you can save time by ordering all of the needed filters in one "filter kit".

Q:
What are the benefits of a PureValue reverse osmosis drinking water system?
A:
PureValue under-sink RO systems can help improve the quality of your household's drinking water. With a PureValue RO system, you can filter out common contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, fluoride, sulfates, etc. that can be detrimental to health. Enjoy water that's not only refreshing but also free from many of the impurities commonly found in untreated tap water. Plus, your family may begin drinking more water once the taste and odor of water has improved. This investment can contribute directly to a healthier way of life.
