The Purest Drop: Exploring Our New Reverse Osmosis Sytem

Clean, safe, delicious water—that’s something many of us expect but few systems deliver both efficiently and beautifully. Enter the Brizo Pristive Tankless Reverse Osmosis System, now on display and available to try at Flow! It’s a six-stage (with optional seventh) under-sink solution designed to redefine what “filtered water at home” should be.

Key Features

Here are the technical and design highlights that make Pristive stand out:

Feature	What It Is / How It Works
Six-Stage Filtration, Optional 7th Remineralizer	The core system has three filter cartridges (pre-filter, RO compound filter, carbon filter) delivering six distinct filtration stages. If you add the optional remineralizer cartridge, it becomes a 7-stage system, restoring naturally occurring minerals (calcite, dolomite) for improved taste and pH.
Certified Contaminant Reduction	Tested against NSF standards, it reduces over 90 contaminants: lead, PFAS, arsenic, bacteria, microplastics, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, etc. Some claims are 99%+ for PFAS, viruses, cysts.
Tankless Design + Self-Flushing	Instead of storing RO water in a tank (which can take up space and potentially allow stagnation), Pristive operates tankless. It has a self-flushing mechanism to keep water moving through the system so you always get fresh, clean water.
Space-Saving, Compact Installation	The system is about 60% smaller (in space used) than traditional tank RO systems. It uses fewer hoses and connections, making installation simpler and neater.
Water Efficiency	The filtered-to-waste ratio is 2.5 : 1, which is much improved over many tanked systems (often around 1 : 4). Also, daily production capacity is quite high (800 GPD – gallons per day) and the system can handle a large overall capacity over its lifespan (rated capacity ~1,320 gallons / ~5,000 liters).
Convenience in Maintenance	Filters are synchronized in lifespan so you can change sets in less than a minute when needed. The RO and carbon filters are matched life spans (approx 1,320 gallons or ~2 years for each). Pre-filter lasts longer (~6 years or ~3,960 gallons) depending on usage. Additional features include integrated filter-life tracking and internal leak detection.
Integration & Compatibility	Designed to pair with Brizo beverage faucets with air-gap or even your refrigerator line. So purified water is available throughout your kitchen.

Benefits: What This Means for You

Ok, having features is one thing. How do they translate into real advantages for someone considering this system?

• Cleaner, safer drinking water — Removing over 90 contaminants, including many chemicals and potentially harmful substances, means water you can drink, cook with, and use for pets or children with greater peace of mind.

• Better taste & health — With the optional remineralizer, you regain minerals that RO normally strips away. That helps with flavor (less flat, more lively), and can contribute to a healthier pH balance in the water.

• Space & aesthetic savings — No big tank under the sink means more space, less clutter, potentially more design flexibility in kitchen layout. For people with smaller cabinets or tight under-sink real estate, this is a big win.

• Cost & waste savings over time — The reduced plastic bottle usage is a big plus. Brizo estimates that over two years, you’re saving the equivalent of up to 10,000 plastic water bottles by using this system. Also, the better filter efficiency and reduced waste water ratio means less water thrown away, which can add up over time.

• Low maintenance & reliability — Synchronized filters, leak detection, easy replacement—all reduce hassle. Less time messing with the system, fewer parts to track.

• Environmentally friendly — Beyond plastic reduction and water efficiency, a tankless system avoids issues of storing water (Potential stagnation or bacterial growth in tanks) and reduces material usage in system components.

• Design & modern lifestyle compatibility — For those wanting luxury or wanting water that’s always available (cold, clean, at higher quality), this meets a premium standard. Also works with modern fixtures and appliances.

Things to Consider / Possible Drawbacks

While the Brizo Pristive system has many strong points, no system is perfect in every situation. Here are some things you might want to check or plan for:

• Requires Power — Since it’s tankless with self-flushing etc., it needs a 120 VAC power outlet. If your under-sink cabinet doesn’t have one nearby, you’ll need electrical work. Decor Planet+1

• Feed Water Requirements — There's a required range for feed water pressure (20-80 PSI) and water temperature (41-100°F or 5-38°C) for optimal performance. If your home’s plumbing is outside those bounds, performance might suffer or you might need a booster or other modifications.

• Cold Water Only — This system is meant for cold water lines. If you want hot RO water (which is seldom needed), you’ll need something else.

• Initial Cost — Systems like this tend to cost more up front compared to simpler water filters, but the efficiency, lifespan, and benefits can justify that cost over time.

• Filter Replacement Costs / Availability — Even though filter changes are simplified, you still need to source the cartridges. If the specific filters or remineralizer cartridges become hard to get, that could be a challenge. Also if usage is heavier, you’ll hit the replacement schedule sooner.

• Waste Water Is Still a Factor — Even with a better ratio (2.5 : 1), for every gallon of filtered water you get, there is still some water wasted (for cleaning and flushing). Depending on how much water you use, that can add up.

Final Thoughts

For homeowners who prioritize clean water, taste, design, and environmental responsibility, the Brizo Pristive Tankless RO System checks many of the boxes. It’s a premium system but offers real benefits in purity, convenience, space, and sustainability. Please reach out for a discounted quote and come in to the showroom to taste the purified water!
