Product Information
Full details
The Hommix puRO is an ideal solution for homeowners and renters seeking professional-grade water purification without the permanent plumbing modifications required by under-sink units. By utilizing a sophisticated 4-stage reverse osmosis process, this system effectively removes limescale, fluoride, chlorine, and heavy metals, delivering clean, ambient-temperature drinking water on demand. While its compact footprint is a major advantage, users should ensure they have adequate space near their main water supply for a permanent connection, as this model is designed for continuous flow rather than manual tank refilling.

FAQs
Does the Hommix puRO require electricity?
The Hommix puRO is designed primarily as a mechanical filtration system; please check your specific installation manual for any requirements regarding smart features or internal pumps.
Can this system provide hot or cold water?
No, the Hommix puRO provides ambient-temperature filtered water only.
How often do I need to change the filters?
Filter life depends on your local water quality and usage volume. Generally, filters should be replaced every 6 to 12 months to ensure optimal performance.
Is the installation difficult?
The installation involves a direct connection to your water main. While straightforward for those with basic plumbing knowledge, professional installation is recommended if you are uncomfortable working with water lines.
Does it remove all minerals from the water?
The reverse osmosis process removes a high percentage of dissolved solids, including most minerals, which helps in preventing limescale buildup.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow rate
Check the feed water line for any kinks or blockages and ensure the main water supply valve is fully opened.
Unpleasant taste or odor in filtered water
This often indicates that one or more filter stages have reached their capacity. Replace the filter cartridges as per the maintenance schedule.
Leaking at the connection point
Turn off the water supply, disconnect the tubing, inspect the O-ring for damage, and ensure the fitting is securely tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Hommix puRO involves connecting the unit to your kitchen's cold water supply line. Since this is a direct-plumbing device, ensure the chosen location on your countertop allows for easy routing of the supply tubing. Once connected, the system functions automatically. Regular care involves monitoring the status of the internal filters; while the reverse osmosis process is highly efficient, filter cartridges must be replaced according to the manufacturer’s schedule to maintain peak performance and water purity levels. Periodically wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth to keep it clean, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
