Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter

I’ve had the Blueva since march 2026 and works excellent and the water tastes great. I had a question about how product works and customer service was also excellent. Works very fast as well.

Très simple à utiliser et excellente machine à filtration d’eau

This is probably one of the better purchases I've made. I recently moved into a neighborhood that has gross water. It smells and tastes like chlorine. Very noticeable. I had bought a pitcher type water filter and it did okay. Better than from the tap. I didn't even let my cats drink the tap water. Since I am removing plastics, I wanted a water filter system that removed nearly all impurities. I had previously had a RO system in my other house and it was useless as drinking water because of the minerals being removed. I quickly learned not to use RO for my drinking water so I wasn't even considering RO until I came across this machine. I love it. It's a little bulky on the countertop but honestly it's not much bigger or maybe even smaller than a fancy coffee/espresso maker. It's pretty quiet. The sound of the dripping water is what you notice and even that isn't loud or annoying. It "brews" pretty quickly. I haven't timed it but it's fairly fast. The fact that it puts the minerals back in is precisely why I bought this. Love telling my friends to hold on I need to brew us up some water. One thing I noticed right away is that I am drinking more water. Like 5x more than I used to. That's a win. I also use the water from it in my nugget ice maker and it's perfect ice, clear and not cloudy. The setup instructions were clear and I had it flushing within 20 minutes of opening the box. The filtration is very good. The water has no taste. Just tastes clean if that makes sense. The reservoir seems overly large despite pretty much getting only one full pitcher and then you need to add more water or you'll get half. It doesn't bother me but it might others so it's worth noting. There is a handle on the water reservoir to make it easy to remove, clean and fill. I keep a glass pitcher in the fridge and when it gets low, I brew up another batch of perfect water. I'll be traveling to my son's house in IL for the holidays and I'll be bringing my Bluevua with me. They have horrible well water and buy cases of water by the car load. It's likely santa will put one of these under their tree this year. I have not yet had to replace the filter yet but it looks to be pretty easy and straight forward. If you are on the fence, this is a great one to get.

I live in an area that gets it water from a limestone aquifer this makes our water extra hard. We had a 7 stage under sink system at our old place, but we recently moved into an apartment, so under sink systems are out of the question. I spent a few dehydrated weeks looking for an affordable counter top RO system. The company that made our old system has a counter top version, but it's twice the price... So this is the one I landed on. I struggled between the larger one and the smaller one but wtf am I going to do with 18 oz of water. That's like one gulp, so the small one was out of the question. Why I didn't choose the larger one: while it would be nicer to have more water at once, for me this is a temporary solution. We intend to move back into a home within a year. This will move to my work office when that happens and we will go back to an under counter system. With that knowledge I couldn't justify the extra money for the larger system, and the 3 replacement filters when it comes time. Plus it's only my husband and I so this is more than enough. I chose this one because I didn't want to wait for the water to filter and I didn't want plastic, so the glass carafe is nice, there are some models that store water in an internal reservoir, but you can't clean it. So glass carafe won. Things I wanted to know but no one said anything yet. 1) Flow Speed - Speed is identical to a standard drip coffee maker. After you get it set up it takes about 4-5 min to fill one carafe. 2) Capacity - the carafe is a little more than a a liter. Around 35oz... You can expect to refill your reservoir after filtering 2 full carafes (70 oz/2 liters). You will dump out about a liter of water. So 2:1. 3) Carafe Durability - I read some of the comments talking about the durability of the carafe. I would say treat this like a coffee maker carafe. It is just as thin, so even slight temperature changes can be problematic. I just bought 4 thicker glass carafes with lids, filled them with the filtered water and put them in the fridge. This solves 2 issues... I don't have to wait for cold, filtered water, and I don't have to worry about the carafe breaking because it just lives in the machine. 4) Taste: water taste great, not like nothing, but crisp and clean. I chose to not use the mineral filter, you can leave it out without impacting operations, which is nice. I kind of just feel like it's an additional cost that has to be replaced every 6 months. 5) Noise: this is essentially a Kurig. Instead of pumping water through a heater and coffee, it pumps water through an RO filter. So that's the same speed and noise of this machine. Honestly this is the best comparison. My concerns: 1) UV LEDs are ushualy effective for 10k hours and most people recommend changing them every year. There is currently no way to replace the uv filter/light. 2) The glass carafe is thin and pretty unique, so I would debate this if I had kids. 3) I like the one filter but idk how long it's going to last. Surprises in the manual/box: 1) Descale - your machine can slow down and may need to be descale every few month like a kurig. 2) It came with a infusion filter made of the same glass as the carafe. Maybe someone would get use out of it, but for me that just means I have to clean the carafe after using it. 3) It comes with some tools to clean, I haven't figured out how to use them.

Its worth it. I have a hard time drinking water cause i hate the flavor of it. Normal water smells like chlorine and it tastes like metal that grabs my throat. This thing takes out all that junk and helps me. I think it saved my life. Its very convenient because i cant drive a car to get heavy water bottles, other filters last a shorter time and does not taste as good. It makes my tea and coffee taste way better. Stops me from drinking bad for me juice to mask the disgusting flavor of tap while i have prediabetes. Pets love it. Its worth it.
