Check out big media news report for G3 series:

In terms of filtration performance, the G3 RO series is certified against NSF/ANSI 58 for TDS reduction and NSF/ANSI 372 certified for lead-free material. With a pore size of 0.0001 microns, the RO membrane is only big enough to allow the passage of water molecules while blocking other foreign components like pyrogens, bacteria, organics, and other water contaminants.

Waterdrop released the D series in 2020 featured by the unique one filter design. The D6 system is the only system that has come live so far, let’s take a look at it.

Waterdrop D6 RO water filter system adopts a 5-in-1 composite reverse osmosis filter with the DOW reverse osmosis membrane. This powerful filter is capable of reducing most harmful contaminants from water, including TDS, lead, chlorine, salt, nitrates, PFAS, lead, sodium, chromium, benzene, etc.

The single filter design suggests less maintenance time and cost, it also means a compact size that saves 70% of your under-sink space compared to traditional systems.

One highlight of the D6 system is the low noise design where you can barely hear anything after closing the under sink cabinet door. The sound is quieter than a running laptop.

The system is upgraded to have a flow rate of 600 GPD and a drain ratio of 2:1. The improved drain ratio means that dispensing 2 cups of pure water produces only 1 cup of wastewater. The D6 system comes with a smart and stylish faucet that has a high-end screen. The screen indicates the real-time TDS level and filter life status.

Also worthy of note is the waterproof design of the D6. As a result, you and your loved ones are at no risk of electrical leakage or shock. There are also automatic flushing and self-protection features to improve user experience. This means the filter system will flush itself automatically periodically, while the self-protection feature will inform you of water leakage.

With the Waterdrop D6 system, you get an upgraded RO water filter unit that delivers unlimited clean, healthy, and great-tasting water. It is easy to maintain and packs a few cool features. You can never go wrong installing one in your household.

There are tons of water treatment systems in the current market. However, the countertop reverse osmosis systems stand out of the pack, especially for their outstanding water purification performance. These systems are portable with impressive and consistent filtration performance. Unlike the traditional reverse osmosis systems, the countertop RO systems are designed for a more satisfactory purification performance and overall improved user experience.

If you are considering a switch to countertop RO systems, the Waterdrop N1 and K19 are the two options in that product line. However, while both models are similar, they are not identical. For instance, the K19 separates the tap water from the wastewater, storing it in a dedicated tank compartment. Therefore, when the K19 dispenses water, the wastewater is stored in a different space, thus improving its TDS removal capabilities.
