PORTABLE REVERSE OSMOSIS DRINKING WATER FILTER | PH NEUTRALISING
QUICK OVERVIEW
- Portable Reverse Osmosis Alkaline Water

NEW Portable Alkaline Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System
The GT1-70CC Portable Alkaline RO system features our EXCLUSIVE Carbon Calcite combination cartridge designed to reduce cost and size, at the same time providing healthy pH neutral filtered water.
This day and age we realise the importance of drinking Alkaline or at the very least NON ACIDIC water. Most conventional RO systems only include a post carbon filter for taste and neglect the additional minerals required in the water to produce safe drinking water. On the opposite end of the spectrum you may already have had a glance at some of the outrageous prices some companies sell their "Alkaline" filters for.
Filter Systems Australia now offers this compact, easy to use Portable RO filter that includes an Alkaline filter without the need for additional cartridges at extra costs. While we still stock standard RO filters for those who specifically require low pH de-mineralised water for other purposes not related to drinking water,

Our Thoughts On Fluoride
Fluoride is a hot topic all across Australia and the entire world. Unfortunately, whether or not you agree or disagree with the Fluoridation of Drinking Water, it is there!
Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration is the safest and most effective solution to remove Fluoride from your drinking water. Fluoride is a proven neurotoxin shown in countless credible studies in the US. The claimed dental health benefits are irrelevant compared to the known and proven correlation between fluoridated water and Chronic Disease.
Reverse Osmosis water filtration is able to remove Fluoride from the water as it is a Mineral Salt. Mineral salts will pass straight through standard filtration however the 0.0001 Micron RO membranes are able to remove Fluoride along with other impurities in the water.
"Re-Mineralising - Alkalising - What Does It Mean?"
Reverse Osmosis water filtration comes with an ongoing debate in regards to the statements “RO water is "Too Pure" and “RO removes minerals that are beneficial to health"
Both of these statements are deceptive and to the everyday person sounds like fact, but please let us explain both of these statements. The misconception being water that is “Too Pure” is all to do with the pH of the water (although the “experts” will state things much more dramatically). Water that is “too pure” simply is water that contains little to no minerals and impurities. However, this can leave the water acidic which is not ideal for drinking. The Solution? Using a post filter for Alkalising or Mineralising the water.
This is where the word "valuable minerals" has crept into the selling of Reverse Osmosis filtration by sellers that are not equipped with the appropriate knowledge. In fact, minerals are only valuable when they are IN our bodies, and the way they get there is through organic food intake - not inorganically. Water Filtration uses Inorganic methods, so any mention of "re-mineralizing" the water through water filtration is simply not a process that is benefiting our bodies at all. More of which will be explained later.
A study in the US (which cost manufacturers many millions of dollars) showed a massive increase in total dissolved solids (TDS) in patients’ urine, when drinking water with a pH of below 7 (i.e. acidic water).
The two main culprits for water having a pH of lower than 7 are:
1. Reverse Osmosis
2. Water Distillers for drinking water
Other substances causing a low pH are soft drinks and alcohol.
Once minerals are extracted from water, the chemistry of water adjusts violently to become acidic. This happens because the buffers in the water that generally act to prevent this adjustment have been removed.
An interesting fact is that rain water that is near pure is also very acidic until it reaches the ground – once it reaches the ground it begins to dissolve minerals from the earth, this in turn balances the pH (the chemistry of the water). Many very clean catchments such as roof tops and clean gutters, first flush diverters and poly tanks are extremely good at keeping water clean - however a trade-off for this is that the water could and most often does remain acidic. If you have a dirty roof or a contaminated tank, the pH will rise and no longer be aggressive (acidic) but at a price – such as through other peripheral problems like fermentation of organics etc.
Back onto the topic at hand, it’s important that we make a stand and explain that there are no such thing as valuable minerals in drinking water unless they are ORGANIC, and organic materials are generally not used for correcting low pH water. Almost all (barring a couple of exotic and expensive alternatives) pH Neutralizing cartridges are made from inorganic material like rock (commonly known as mineral stones).
These inorganic materials release either calcium or magnesium into the water, however these types of minerals are inorganic, not organic - so it's difficult for the body to absorb them or make any use of them at all.
So, in a nut shell, the words 'valuable minerals' is not relevant to post RO pH correction.
Filter Systems Australia does not deal in myths and magic. There are people selling all sorts of "living water products", with all sorts of mythical results, but consider this; The body needs hydration plain and simple. Now that is pure logic - not sales talk. The best form of hydration is clean, chemical free and impurity free H2O. Exactly as nature intended.
However, a down side to producing this sort of water is that stripping the water as we do, causes the water to become acidic again (back to its rain water condition). So, what's needed at this point is a trade-off...
To produce non-acidic water we need to add back some mineral, this is where the misconception arises. These are non organic minerals >>> therefore not valuable to your bodies health, but valuable in the fact that it's achieving an alkaline pH - which is vital to your health.
With all of this said, we have once again taken things a step further by producing a system that ticks all the health boxes. You get High Alkaline Water, Hydrogen Rich Water, Chemical and Toxin Free, Fluoride Free, Great tasting water.

NOTE: The diverter valve supplied with this unit suits MOST common standard kitchen taps. If you have a tap with a thread that does not measure 22mm - 24mm the standard diverter valve will not be compatible.
HOWEVER, if this is the case we have an alternate fitting we can supply you which allows it to be connected to an outdoor 3/4" thread OR the Laundry water inlet (3/4") this is usually the most preferred method of using this system. PLEASE ensure that you have checked your thread before ordering, if you require the 3/4" fitting, please select either the laundry or outdoor tap adapter in the listing
Stage 1: GAC Inline Carbon Cartridge – replace every 6 months
This 5 micron inline carbon filter acts to protect the stage two membrane. It will remove the vast quantity of any taste odour or chemicals in the water and help to prolong the life of the membrane.
Stage 2: Asprinn 50GPD RO Membrane (FilmTec Material) - replace every 1 – 4 years
Removes 98% of impurities including organic and inorganic, chemicals. The membrane, is the "engine room" of the reverse osmosis filtration system. All the work is done here, so all the filters before the membrane are primarily there to protect the engine. This membrane will produce up to 50GPD (190L/24hr) of clear pure water @ 70psi within the working feed water quality requirements.
Stage 3: GT6-18LS Carbon Calcite Filter - replace every 12 months
Neutralizing pH after RO has fast become a standard requirement as the general population become more aware of the benefits of drinking alkaline water. Until now we have been offering an additional calcite filter for raising pH and an additional price.
Now we are proud to be the first for offer this solution in the one high quality post carbon filter.
Now instead of an additional neutralizing filter you can use a this single carbon Alkaline cartridge. Guaranteed to raise the pH to neutral 7 pH but our testing has shown that we are reaching much higher pH or around 8.4 - 8-9 at least while the cartridge is new. The life of the cartridge is still 12 month as it should be for all cartridges containing carbon. Running this cartridge beyond 12 months could run the risk not only of poor quality taste or odour but also could loose the ability to produce alkaline water. Not withstanding that this may need changing earlier if:
1/ the ph of the water drops below 7pH
2/ the taste and or odour returns
