Reverse Osmosis System, 3-Stage – Precision Brewing Water Control
Pure Water for Perfect Brewing
Achieve complete control over your brewing water with this 3-stage reverse osmosis (RO) system. By removing nearly all minerals, it provides a pure water base, allowing you to customise your water profile with precision.
The right mineral balance enhances hop expression, malt character, and mouthfeel, ensuring optimal flavour and consistency in every batch. Since beer is 90-95% water, using high-quality, tailored water is essential for brewing exceptional beer.
- Customisable Brewing Water: Create pure water free from minerals, allowing precise control over water chemistry for different beer styles.
- High Filtration Efficiency: Removes chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, heavy metals, and dissolved solids, ensuring cleaner and better-tasting beer.
- Consistent Water Quality: Eliminates tap water variations, providing stable and repeatable brewing results for every batch.
- Optimised for Brewing: Operates efficiently from 2.1 bar, producing approximately 12 litres per hour at 3 bar with 93% filtration efficiency.
- Easy Maintenance: Annual filter replacements keep performance high, while the membrane lasts up to three years for long-term reliability.
Description
Reverse Osmosis System – 3-Stage Filtration for Brewing Water
Since beer consists of 90-95% water, using high-quality water is crucial for brewing. While good-tasting water can produce good beer, the mineral content in water significantly impacts bitterness perception, malt character, and mouthfeel.
With this 3-stage reverse osmosis (RO) system, you can create pure water, providing a blank canvas free from nearly all minerals. This allows you to customise your brewing water by adding specific minerals to match different beer styles. Adjusting your brewing water profile can enhance hop expression, balance malt sweetness, and create a smoother mouthfeel.
Why Use Reverse Osmosis for Brewing?
- Customisable Water Profiles – Starting with purified water allows precise control over mineral content.
- Improved Beer Consistency – Eliminates fluctuations in tap water quality for reliable results.
- Removal of Contaminants – Filters out chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, heavy metals, and dissolved solids that can negatively affect beer flavour.
- Better Hop and Malt Expression – Adjust water chemistry to enhance hop bitterness or malt richness, depending on the beer style.
Optimise Your Brewing Water with Reverse Osmosis
Reset your water profile and create a custom water recipe tailored to your beer style. This RO system efficiently removes calcium carbonate (lime), chlorine, and other unwanted elements at just 2.1 bar water pressure, eliminating the need for a booster pump.
The system operates efficiently from 2.1 bar, but at 3 bar and 12°C, it produces approximately 12 litres per hour with 93% filtration efficiency. Performance improves after 30 minutes of use, as the membrane requires initial hydration.
3-Stage Reverse Osmosis System Includes:
- ✔ Tap adapter
- ✔ Inline sediment filter (5µm)
- ✔ Inline carbon filter (5µm)
- ✔ 75 GPD ULP (Ultra Low Pressure) RO membrane
- ✔ Membrane housing
- ✔ 5 angled fittings (including 1 extra)
- ✔ 1 straight fitting
- ✔ 3 meters of 1/4″ tubing (1 meter each in white, red, and blue)
- ✔ 450ml flow restrictor
- ✔ 4 clips for securing the thick membrane housing and filters
Maintenance & Filter Replacement
- Wastewater Ratio: Approximately 1:2 (clean water to wastewater) during operation.
- Annual Filter Replacement: To maintain efficiency, replace the sediment and carbon filters annually.
- Membrane Replacement: Every 3 years (or sooner if filtration performance decreases).
By incorporating a reverse osmosis system into your homebrewing setup, you gain precise control over your water chemistry, ensuring optimal conditions for every batch of beer.
