The Waterdrop WD-M6H is a premium countertop reverse osmosis system featuring instant hot water dispensing and a 7-stage purification process with UV sterilization.

The Waken Electric C11 is a countertop reverse osmosis water filtration system featuring an 8-stage filtration process with integrated UV sterilization technology. It operates as a plug-and-play unit requiring no plumbing installation, making it suitable for residential use in homes, apartments, and RVs.
