Protector Reverse Osmosis
Drinking Water System
What Is the Protector™ Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System?
The Protector™ Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System is our premium under-sink drinking water filtration system designed to provide your family with cleaner, fresher, better-tasting water every day.
At the heart of the system is a high-performance reverse osmosis membrane that separates purified water from many dissolved contaminants that can affect both water quality and taste.
Rather than relying on a single filter cartridge, the Protector™ RO combines multiple stages of filtration that work together to maximize performance while protecting the life of the system.
The purified water is stored in a dedicated pressurized storage tank and delivered through its own elegant drinking water faucet whenever you need it. The system can also be connected to many refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers so you can enjoy purified water throughout your kitchen.
Whether your home receives municipal water or well water, the Protector™ RO provides an excellent solution for homeowners looking to improve the quality of their drinking water.
Why Homeowners Choose the Protector™ RO
Today’s drinking water meets federal safety standards, but many homeowners still want an additional layer of protection for the water they drink every day.
The Protector™ Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System is designed for families who want cleaner, better-tasting water while helping reduce exposure to many dissolved contaminants that may still be present after municipal treatment or naturally occur in private wells.
Homeowners choose the Protector™ RO because it offers much more than simple taste improvement.

How the Protector™ Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System Works
Every component of the Protector™ RO is designed to work together to deliver consistently clean, great-tasting drinking water while protecting the life of the system.
Unlike basic single-filter systems, the Protector™ RO uses a comprehensive four-stage purification process.
Stage 1 – Sediment Filtration
Incoming water first passes through a premium sediment filter that captures sand, rust, dirt, and other suspended particles.
Removing these larger particles protects the downstream filters and helps extend the life of the entire system.
Benefits:
- Removes sediment
- Protects internal components
- Improves system longevity
Stage 2 – Activated Carbon Filtration
The second stage uses activated carbon to reduce chlorine and many organic compounds that can affect water taste while also protecting the reverse osmosis membrane.
This stage plays an important role in maximizing the performance and lifespan of the system.
Benefits:
- Improves taste
- Reduces chlorine
- Helps protect the RO membrane
- Extends system life
Stage 3 – High-Performance Reverse Osmosis Membrane
This is the heart of the Protector™ RO.
Using microscopic pores, the reverse osmosis membrane separates purified water from many dissolved contaminants that can pass through conventional water filters.
This advanced filtration process helps reduce contaminants such as PFAS, lead, fluoride, nitrates, arsenic, chromium, and many dissolved solids while producing exceptionally clean drinking water.
Benefits:
- Advanced contaminant reduction
- Exceptional drinking water quality
- Improves taste
- Produces cleaner water for cooking, beverages, and ice
Stage 4 – Final Polishing Filter
Before reaching your dedicated drinking water faucet, the purified water passes through a final activated carbon polishing filter.
This final stage enhances freshness and delivers the crisp, clean taste homeowners expect from the Protector™ RO.
Benefits:
- Final taste enhancement
- Fresh, clean drinking water
- Superior water quality right at your sink
