Score: 88/100Rankings
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 Express Water 100 GPD system is a multi-stage under-sink water filtration unit that integrates reverse osmosis, UV sterilization, and alkaline mineralization to remove up to 99.99% of contaminants. It offers comprehensive purification for large households, though the slow flow rate and space requirements are notable trade-offs. It is best suited for large households (8+ people) seeking comprehensive water purification.
