Score: 82/100Rankings
The Home Master TMAFC-ERP Artesian is a high-performance under-sink reverse osmosis system featuring patented remineralization and a permeate pump for exceptional water efficiency. Its main limitation is the requirement for adequate under-sink space and specific water pressure conditions. It is best suited for households seeking high-purity, alkaline water with minimal maintenance and environmental impact.
The Bluevua RO100ROPOT is a portable countertop reverse osmosis system that offers comprehensive 99.99% contaminant removal with UV sterilization and remineralization. Its main drawbacks are its large footprint on the counter and a wasteful 2:1 water-to-waste ratio. It is ideal for renters or those who cannot install permanent under-sink systems.

Professional reviewers and editors praise the TMAFC-ERP for its innovative Full Contact remineralization, which addresses common issues like acidity and tank degradation found in traditional RO systems. Experts highlight the 98% contaminant removal rate, the hygienic modular design, and the extended 2,000-gallon filter life as key advantages over competitors. The system is noted for delivering exceptionally pure mineral water with a 2x flow rate and easy DIY installation.
Everyday consumers commonly praise the great-tasting alkaline water, the ease of tool-free filter swaps, and the significantly faster flow speed compared to standard systems. Recurring complaints focus on the high wastewater volume when the ERP pump is not used and occasional leaks during the initial setup phase, though users note that the modular design simplifies repairs.
TechGearLab and other experts identify the RO100ROPOT as a convenient solution for those who want reverse osmosis filtration without the need for permanent installation. Experts emphasize that the setup is straightforward and requires no complicated installation, making it particularly valuable for renters unable to modify plumbing. Reviewers note the system provides exceptional filtration performance and is ideal specifically for renters or short-term tenants, though they recommend under-the-sink models for homeowners or long-term residents due to space and cost considerations.
Consumer feedback highlights hassle-free setup and operation as major benefits, with users appreciating the reliable contaminant removal that delivers noticeably cleaner, better-tasting water. The system is praised for being suitable for those unable to install permanent systems. However, recurring concerns include space constraints on kitchen counters and awareness of water waste due to the 2:1 wastewater ratio.
