HOW to FIND and ORDER the CORRECT RO FILTERS

Time to replace your ro filters but you have no idea what you need or where to get them? Not sure of the make and model of your Reverse Osmosis system? Why are there so many different filters for RO’s anyway?
In case you don’t know how Reverse Osmosis Drinking water systems work check out my YouTube video here    • HOW does a REVERSE OSMOSIS Drinking W...  
Basically, there are two types of Reverse Osmosis drinking water systems when it comes to their filters. Proprietary and non proprietary.
Let’s use these two very popular RO systems as an example. Our Water Saver 75 https://waterestore.ca/products/hum-w... and this Goldline 50 https://waterestore.ca/products/goldl.... If yours has similar looking filter housings, you’re in luck, you have a Reverse Osmosis system that uses non proprietary filters. In fact these use the same most common sediment and carbon filters. Also, each one uses one of the most common post (or after) carbon filter types. This replacement set for the Goldline 50 uses one sediment and two carbon filters with the inline post filter with ¼” threaded fittings at either end. https://waterestore.ca/products/goldl... You just unscrew the fittings from the old filter and use them on the new filter.
For the Water Saver 75, it also uses the same 3 filters on the bottom but a different carbon filter on top, with this filter replacement bundle https://waterestore.ca/products/water... This post carbon filter uses quick connect fittings, which in this case are ¼” but in some cases can be 3/8” or more.
To determine the size just measure the outside diameter of the tubing. To determine which inline filter yours uses check to see if it has fittings on the ends like these, that can be removed. If so measure the diameter if the tubing going into the filter and then disconnect the tubing, this YouTube video of mine shows you how    • How to use Quick Connect (John Guest ...  
To find out what size fitting you have going into the post filter, measure the diameter. Please note that the measurement will not be the same as the “size”.
See the following:
1/8” fitting is .405 inches or about 3/8” outside diameter
¼” fitting is .540 inches or about 1/2” outside diameter
3/8” fitting is .675 inches or about 5/8” outside diameter
Once you know the diameter you can find the fitting you need for your system.
With our Omnipure filters the last two letters of the product code contains the fitting size info, for example:
A = 1/8” female thread
B = ¼” female thread
C = 3/8” female thread
J = ¼” straight female QC (quick connect)
K = 3/8” straight female QC (quick connect)
When it comes to membranes they are rated by their capacity to produce treated water, so many gallons per minute. The capacity is often in the name of the system, like Goldline 50 has a 50 gallon per minute membrane while the Water Saver 75 has a 75 gpm membrane.
Most systems that have a typical membrane housing like this will use standard 1.8” x 12” membranes. If there is no indication as to the flow rate of your membrane you can always remove it and usually it is written on the membrane inside the housing. This video shows you how to remove the membrane    • How to Replace the Membrane in a Reve...   Here is the replacement membrane for the Goldline 50 https://waterestore.ca/products/penta...
This HUM Water Saver 75 has a high efficiency membrane that is encased. As you can see by the labelling it is a Pentair part and located here on our website https://waterestore.ca/products/penta...

If your system does not look like any of the systems we’ve discussed here today, don’t worry, just email us a picture at [email protected], we’ll check it out and recommend the correct filters for you.
