Ari RO7 reverse osmosis system, seven stages, 12-litre tank, 75 GPD review

The only reverse osmosis system here — the one technology that genuinely lowers TDS — with a remineralisation stage to put minerals back afterwards.

The bottom line The only system here that does what the others say they do not. It publishes its membrane and its output, and nothing at all about its running cost or its waste.

What you are getting

A seven-stage reverse osmosis system with multi-stage pre-filters, a 75 GPD membrane stated to separate dissolved substances down to 0.0001 micrometres, post-filtration with calcium and magnesium remineralisation, a 12-litre storage tank, and a complete installation set with pre-assembled colour-coded lines.

What reverse osmosis actually is

The carbon filters in this hub work by size and adsorption, and two of them state in their own listings that they do not reduce TDS.

Reverse osmosis pushes water through a membrane that rejects dissolved solids too. That is why it needs a tank, why the output is measured per day rather than per minute, and why it is the only system here that changes what is dissolved in your water.

The remineralisation stage

RO water comes through stripped of the calcium and magnesium that give water its taste. This system adds them back in dedicated cartridges afterwards.

That is the standard answer to the standard complaint about RO water, and it is stated rather than implied.

The number that is missing, and it is the important one

The waste water ratio.

Every RO system sends water to the drain to flush the membrane. Some send four litres for every one produced; better ones send far less.

The maker states an “improved waste water ratio” — improved from what, to what, is never said. On a metered supply that figure is the running cost. Ask the seller before ordering.

And the other running cost

Seven stages, no cartridge lives. Pre-filters, membrane, post-filters and remineralisation cartridges all have replacement intervals, and none of them is published. Two filters in this hub state theirs in litres and months.

What we like, and what we don't

Strengths

  • Reverse osmosis is the one technology here that genuinely reduces dissolved solids — the others state that they do not
  • A remineralisation stage adding calcium and magnesium back after the membrane, which is what RO water otherwise lacks
  • A complete installation set with pre-assembled lines and colour-coded connections, aimed at retrofitting a finished kitchen

Compromises

  • Reverse osmosis sends water to the drain, and the improved ratio the maker claims is never quantified
  • No cartridge lives or replacement intervals for any of the seven stages — the running cost cannot be worked out
  • A 12-litre tank plus the unit needs real cupboard space, and no dimensions are published

Questions people actually ask

How is reverse osmosis different from the other filters here?

The carbon filters in this hub catch things by size and adsorption, and two of them state plainly that they do not reduce TDS. Reverse osmosis forces water through a membrane that rejects dissolved solids as well — which is why it needs a pump, a tank and a drain line, and why it is the only one here that changes what is dissolved in the water.

How much water does it waste?

That is the question this listing does not answer. Every RO system sends some water to the drain, and the ratio is the number that matters. The maker states an "improved waste water ratio" without saying improved from what, or to what. Ask before buying, especially if your water is metered.
