With levels of many contaminants increasing in public water supplies across Canada, iSpring reverse osmosis and carbon filtration systems provide a proven safeguard for your household.
Benefits of iSpring Reverse Osmosis Systems
Reverse osmosis (RO) is considered the gold standard for residential water purification. It’s the technology used by bottled water companies to remove impurities. iSpring RO systems offer several advantages:
Superior Contaminant Removal – Reverse osmosis membranes reject up to 99% of total dissolved solids (TDS), including dangerous heavy metals, organic compounds, bacteria and salt. RO also effectively reduces trihalomethanes that result from chlorine disinfection of municipal water.
Improved Taste and Odor – RO removes any unpleasant tastes or odors coming from your tap water, leaving you with clean, refreshing drinking water. No more chlorine flavors.
Protects Plumbing and Appliances – By reducing mineral buildup inside pipes and kitchen/bathroom fixtures, RO water extends the life of plumbing systems and water-using appliances.
Lower Cost Than Bottled Water – At only a few cents per gallon, RO systems deliver far cheaper purified water than continually buying bottled water. They’re eco-friendly too.
Flexible Installation – iSpring RO units can be installed under your kitchen sink or set up as countertop systems requiring no permanent modifications. Quick connections to your existing plumbing make DIY install simple.
Space Saving Tankless Operation – For an endless supply of RO water without a bulky storage tank, the RCC7P and RCC7AK systems continuously generate purified water on demand.
With levels of water pollution constantly rising, protecting your family with enhanced filtration is more critical than ever. iSpring reverse osmosis systems turn your tap into a source of refreshing, healthy water.
Overview of iSpring Whole House Water Filtration
Many households also rely on iSpring whole house systems to treat their entire water supply. Whole house units connect after the main water line to filter water entering your home before it reaches faucets, showers, toilets, laundry machines and other points of use.
Benefits of whole house filtration include:
- Removes sediments and particles from all water used indoors and outdoors
- Prevents scale buildup and mineral deposits in pipes and fixtures
- Chlorine taste and odor is eliminated at all faucets
- Protects dishwashers, washing machines and water heaters from sediment damage
- Extends life of plumbing by reducing corrosion
Regular backwashing rinses away trapped contaminants, providing constant protection without interruptions. Whole house systems require very little maintenance apart from periodic cartridge replacements.
For whole house filtration, iSpring offers several systems:
SPA122 Water Softener – This system utilizes an eco-friendly salt-free technology to prevent scale formation from hard water, replacing traditional ion exchange softeners. The SPA122 extends the life of plumbing and fixtures while maintaining healthy mineral levels in your water.
RC4120 Spin Down Sediment Water Filter – Featuring high flow 4.5″ ports and 1 micron filtration, this heavy duty system filters dirt, sand, rust and other debris from your entire water supply to protect plumbing. Its pre-filter design means no interruption during backwash cycles.
Carbon Block Filters – Multiple grades of carbon filtration are available for chlorine taste and odor removal as well as chemical, pesticide and VOC reduction.
With whole house purification safeguarding your home’s water from contaminant damage and scale buildup, you’ll enjoy cleaner, better tasting water from every faucet and appliance.
Reverse Osmosis vs Whole House Water Filtration
Reverse osmosis systems and whole house filters take different approaches to improving your household water supply:
Reverse Osmosis
- Point of use system installed under kitchen sink or counter top
- Produces premium quality purified drinking and cooking water
- Most effective filtration technology available – removes up to 99% of TDS
- Higher initial purchase cost but very inexpensive purified water
- Ideal if water contaminants are a health concern
Whole House
- Filters all water entering home for washing, cleaning, etc
- Requires little maintenance except replacing filters
- Does not produce water as pure as reverse osmosis
- Lower initial cost than RO systems
- Designed to filter sediments and prevent scale buildup
- Chlorine removal improves smells and taste at taps
Combining these solutions provides maximum protection. RO gives you the highest quality drinking water while whole house handles the rest of your household usage. For serious filtration, use both together!
Countertop Reverse Osmosis Systems
For the purest drinking and cooking water without any permanent installation, iSpring countertop RO systems are the perfect choice. Units like the RO200 connect quickly to your sink faucet and include all necessary tubing and fittings. No need to drill or modify existing plumbing.
Countertop RO advantages:
- Delivers bottled water quality from tap water
- Portable design needs no permanent installation
- Quick connections using diverter valve at faucet
- Purifies water with premium 5-stage filtration
- Pressurized tank provides good flow rate

With minimal setup, the RO200 system can start purifying water in about 30 minutes. It’s an excellent way to enjoy reverse osmosis benefits even if changes to your sink or plumbing are not possible. Tasty contaminant-free water from the tap whenever you need it.
Under Sink Reverse Osmosis Advantages
For a conveniently located water purification system hidden neatly away under your sink, iSpring RCC7 series RO systems are the gold standard. With a separate tank and faucet, under sink RO provides:
- Out of sight installation under sink
- Dedicated chrome faucet provides instant access to purified water
- Multi-stage filtration with membrane removes 99% of contaminants
- Automatic shut off valve prevents waste water
- Larger storage tank than countertop units

For a permanent purification system that fits perfectly into your existing kitchen design and plumbing, iSpring under sink RO units are an exceptional choice.
Tankless Reverse Osmosis from iSpring
For households with high purified water demand, iSpring’s innovative tankless reverse osmosis systems are an excellent option. RCC7AK and RCC7P models generate a continuous flow of clean water on demand without any storage tank.
Tankless operation provides:
- Unlimited supply without needing ongoing refills
- More compact under sink installation
- Lower upfront equipment cost
- Fewer replacement parts and maintenance
- Higher flow rate than tank models
- Same multi-stage RO filtration process

With tankless systems, the water purification process occurs in real time as you dispense water, rather than storing purified water in a tank that empties and needs refilling. The streamlined design with fewer parts makes these systems reliable and very cost effective to operate over time. Less space is consumed under your sink as well. For heavy usage households, tankless RO systems are the best solution.
Whole House Water Softener Alternatives
Many Canadian homes rely on traditional ion exchange water softeners to prevent scale and mineral buildup caused by hard water. However, these systems come with drawbacks:
- Adds potentially harmful sodium to your water
- Removes healthy calcium and magnesium minerals
- Requires frequent addition of salt pellets
- Can lead to salt contamination of groundwater from backflush
iSpring offers SPA122 as an eco-friendly salt-free water softener alternative without those disadvantages. It uses template assisted crystallization technology to prevent minerals from bonding together and forming scale.
The SPA122 system:
- Maintains essential mineral content in your water
- Uses no salts, no chemicals, no electricity
- Has very low maintenance requirements
- Extends life of plumbing fixtures and appliances
- Reduces soap and detergent usage
- DIY installation using garden hose fittings
- Whole house protection from a single unit
For households seeking to prevent scale and corrosion damage from hard water without altering their water composition or adding sodium, iSpring SPA122 offers a proven solution.
Whole House Sediment Water Filters
On well water or other high particulate supplies, iSpring whole house sediment filters protect your plumbing and fixtures. The RC4120 HD model uses a pre-filter spin down design to continually remove dirt, sand, rust particles and other contaminants from household water feeds.
Advantages of RC4120 whole house filtration:
- 1 micron filtration traps debris as small as 1/1000th of a millimeter
- Large 4.5″ ports allow high flow rates up to 25 GPM
- No service interruptions during backwash cycles
