KINETICO K5 DRINKING WATER STATION® with VOC Guard
The K5 with VOC Guard is our most advanced reverse osmosis system ever, significantly reducing more contaminants than any other drinking water treatment unit. The K5 with VOC Guard tackles even the toughest water-quality challenges, while producing more water faster than any other comparable system. So you won't need to ration or wait for your water.
You can customize the FlexFilters in your K5 with VOC Guard according to the specific water challenges you're facing now or that you may encounter in the future. Filters are available for viruses/bacteria, arsenic, chloramine, chlorine/sediment, and VOC reduction.
The K5 with VOC Guard conveniently dispenses water right at your sink from an exclusive, lead-free faucet, which is available in a variety of finishes. It also features QuickFlo® technology to deliver a strong, steady stream of high-quality water when you want it. And, thanks to the EverClean® Rinse, the K5 with VOC Guard uses high-quality water to clean itself, which keeps the system in top working order and extends the membrane’s life.
Additional features like the MACguard® Filter and PureMometer® Filter Life Indicator let you know when it's time for filter changes and prevent you from pushing the filters past their capacities. Quick-disconnect filter cartridges make changing filters a snap.
The K5 Drinking Water Station with VOC Guard is protected by a 10-year limited warranty, including the membrane.

What is Reverse Osmosis and how does it work?
Reverse osmosis, or RO, is a water treatment process in which water passes through a semipermeable membrane. Reverse osmosis is known for producing great-tasting pure water and being highly effective for contaminant removal.
Reverse osmosis technology relies on pressure to push the water molecules through the membrane. Water pressure varies by water source. City water is supplied between 40 and 100 psi (pounds per square inch). Well water is delivered between 20 and 60 psi, depending on your pump. The production rate of the reverse osmosis membrane is dependent on factors such as temperature, pressure and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels. Since reverse osmosis works slowly, most RO systems include a storage tank that collects treated water. This feature is included so you can fill your glass or pitcher with clean water whenever you want it.
Because reverse osmosis water is so pure, it can pick up bad tastes and odors from the storage tank’s bladder or walls if it is stored for long periods of time. Running the water through a postfilter once it leaves the storage tank will remove residual tastes or odors before the water is dispensed.
The water you and your family drink and cook with today is probably not as clean as it could be. It’s good enough, but is “good enough” okay with you? Every year, we learn more about what is in our water and how these contaminants affect our health. At present, the EPA has set maximum contaminant levels for more than 90 contaminants that exist in water. Although the water may be deemed safe to drink, many people don’t want to drink any amount of a contaminant, even if it’s within legal limits.
