Description

The Cara CA5001 Under Sink Reverse Osmosis Water Filter is a compact, space-saving system designed to deliver pure, great-tasting water on demand. With Direct Flow technology, there’s no bulky storage tank — just continuous, efficient filtration from tap to glass. Its Smart LCD display, high-recovery membranes and stainless steel tap make it a reliable upgrade for any modern home or office.

Why Choose the CA5001?

  • Space-saving & efficient: Direct Flow means no storage tank and continuous purified water. Slim design fits neatly under most sinks.
  • Smarter monitoring: LCD panel shows cartridge life, system status and TDS levels in real time.
  • Better water, less waste: 1:1 ratio of purified to waste water — more efficient than traditional 4:1 RO systems.
  • Premium tap design: Includes a stainless steel 360° swivel tap with smooth quarter-turn operation.
  • Safe & reliable: Auto Leak Stop Valve reduces flood risk and makes filter changes stress-free.

Key Features

  • Removes “forever chemicals” such as PFAS and PFOS
  • Advanced 3-stage filtration with PP + Carbon, RO membrane and T33 coconut carbon cartridge.
  • Ultra-fine 0.0001 μm filtration removes bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, pesticides and more.
  • Carbon filters reduce chlorine and odours for fresher-tasting water.
  • High recovery membrane saves water while optimising performance.
  • Quick-change encapsulated cartridges with slim ABS cover design.

Filtration Stages

  1. PP + Carbon Filter: Removes sediments, rust, sand and large particles; protects the RO membrane.
  2. RO Membrane: 0.0001 μm filtration removes bacteria, viruses, antibiotics, heavy metals and pesticide residues.
  3. T33 Coconut Carbon Cartridge: Improves taste and absorbs odours with natural coconut carbon.

Common Uses

  • Fresh, clean drinking water straight from the tap.
  • Cooking and meal prep for better-tasting soups, rice and pasta.
  • Tea, coffee and beverages free from chlorine and impurities.
  • Safe hydration for families using chlorinated or non-chlorinated sources (subject to water analysis).

FAQ's

Q: Can reverse osmosis (RO) remove “forever chemicals” like PFAS?
Yes, RO systems are highly effective at reducing these persistent chemicals. Here’s how:

  • Ultra-fine filtration: The RO membrane has tiny pores that block most PFAS molecules.
  • Extra filtration layers: Pre-filters and activated carbon post-filters capture even more of these chemicals.

Q: Why should I remove PFAS from my water?

  • Healthier drinking water: Reduces exposure to chemicals linked to hormone disruption and other health risks.
  • Safer cooking: PFAS-free water helps keep your meals cleaner and healthier.
  • Peace of mind: Protects your family from “forever chemicals” that linger in the environment and water supplies.
