Best under sink water filter UK families can rely on
Finding the best under sink water filter uk families can rely on is essential if you want to eliminate cloudiness, chemical odours, and heavy limescale from your daily kitchen tap water.
About this product
The RO-500 removes the storage tank. Instead of filtering slowly into a reservoir, a booster pump pushes water through the membrane fast enough to serve the tap directly. You get back the cupboard space the tank would have taken, and you never draw down a half-empty tank.
The pump has a second benefit that matters in parts of the UK: reverse osmosis needs pressure to work, and homes at the end of a long run or on an upper floor often do not have enough of it. A pumped system keeps filtering where a pressure-fed one would slow to a dribble.
The fifth stage adds calcium and magnesium back after filtration. This is a taste decision rather than a health one — RO water is safe without it, but many people find it tastes thin, and remineralisation puts the body back.
The catch is power. This unit needs a 13amp socket under the sink. Check for one before you order.
Dispatched from our UK warehouse, with delivery in 4-21 business days depending on the item. That is slower than a next-day marketplace and we would rather say so up front than surprise you at the door.
Technical specifications
- Connection size
- Standard UK 15mm push-fit / compression
- Micron rating
- 0.0001 micron
- Lifespan

Litres and centimetres are used throughout. Cartridge life is measured in litres of filtered water, so heavily used households will change theirs sooner.

What this filter addresses
- Dissolved solids (TDS)
- Chlorine and chloramine
- Fluoride
- Heavy metals including lead
- Sediment and particulates
What it will not do
- Needs a 13amp socket under the sink. If you have no power there, you need the RO-400 instead — this is the single most common reason a tankless unit has to go back.
- The booster pump is audible while filtering. It is not loud, but it is not silent either.
- Still wastes water to the drain, though less than a tanked system.
- Filters one tap only, not the whole house.
- The remineralisation stage restores taste but does not turn RO water into mineral water.
Will this fit?
Check these before you order — they are the questions we are asked most often.
- Requires a 35mm sink or worktop hole for the included designer tap
- Requires a 13amp power socket under the sink
- Needs a waste-pipe connection for the drain line
- Takes replacement cartridge AF-RO400M (membrane) and AF-CBC1 (carbon block)
Still not sure? Send us your sink and pipework details and we will confirm before you buy.
Not sure which RO system?
The RO-300, RO-400 and RO-500 differ on output, footprint, waste water and whether they need a power socket. Compare all three side by side before you commit.
