The UPS-5T is assembled here in our warehouse at Water Fixers. “Built to Last a Lifetime”, this 5-stage combination Ultra-violet Light and Filter cartridge system uses all USA-manufactured components and USA-manufactured filter cartridges. This system is manufactured out of Stainless Steel, except for the faucet. We designed this system for individuals and companies that desire uncompromising, ultimate water quality, purity, and safety results. An Ultra-Violet Light module is mounted on top of the Membrane housing to treat water-borne bacteria when water is being dispensed. Many rural well water customers require this additional feature for sanitation purposes. The filters included are a USA-manufactured Sediment Pre-filter, a USA-manufactured Dual-purpose Sediment and Chlorine removal secondary Pre-filter, a USA-manufactured TFC Membrane Filter, and a USA-manufactured Post Carbon Block Filter. It also consists of a 4-gallon stainless steel storage tank and a luxurious air-gap dispensing faucet. No one offers the quality of filters that we include.
Cheap Filters DO NOT have the micron size or special filter material required to remove VOC’s (volatile organic chemicals), Hydro-Carbon Gases (chlorine, ammonia, chloramines), Cysts (cryptosporidium, cyclospora, giardia), Silt, Clay, and other toxic contaminants as compared to the USA-manufactured cartridges. Purchasing “Cheap Filters” to save a few dollars or because it’s convenient, or being naïve and convincing yourself that any cheap water filter will give you the same quality of pure water as a USA-manufactured higher quality filter, are not acceptable excuses to compromise the integrity and safety of your drinking water. The quality of water Filter Cartridges installed inside any Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System are critical in determining the purity, safety, and quantity of water you share with your family to drink and cook with. With cheap Chinese-manufactured filters, you should always consider product safety concerns due to the lack of quality control standards for materials used and assembly techniques employed when compared with American manufacturing standards and regulatory agencies. Water Fixers is THE ONLY COMPANY that incorporates the highest quality of American-made filter cartridges as “Standard Equipment” in their SPS, EPS, and UPS Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems. If you care about protecting your health as much as we do, you’ll choose Water Fixers for all you water filter cartridge purchases.
2.5″ x 10″ graded density, graduated depth, micro-fiber filter cartridge. Molded micro-fiber material with a nominal 1 micron particle filtration rating for cysts, silt, clay, sediments, sand, rocks, etc. The primary function is to prevent super-fine sediments from fouling the membrane filter. USA-manufactured. NOTE: The graduated depth micro-fiber design becomes extremely dense in material weight from the outer perimeter of the cartridge to the center core, providing graduated depth filtration and far superior dirt retention. Service Interval: Recommended every 12 months.
Benefits: VOCs, Pesticides, Herbicides, Insecticides, Hydrocarbon Gases, Chlorine, Cysts, Silt, Clay

Stainless Steel Ultra-Violet Light System. Featuring a special lamp that emits short-wavelength UVC light, which is highly energetic. The lamp uses germicidal UVC light (200-280 nm) to penetrate microorganisms, damaging their DNA or RNA, preventing them from replicating and rendering them inactive or “dead,” making it a chemical-free way to disinfect air, water, and surfaces by disrupting vital microorganism cellular functions. The primary function is to ensure microbiologically safe drinking water. UV Lamp and Quartz Sleeve Service Interval: Recommended every 12 months
1-1 “Patented” Reverse Osmosis Membrane Filter technology that uses only 1 gallon of drain water to produce 1 gallon of pure drinking water. After years of research and development, this new water-saving membrane is now affordable and available to upgrade and replace your old technology membrane. Our Pure Safe Water Products Reverse Osmosis systems employ 3-1 ratio membranes and standard equipment, but we now offer the 1-1 ratio membrane as an affordable option. If you are looking for the ultimate water savings, then you just found the solution. This membrane still employs the TFC (thin film composite), Non-chlorinated water membrane filter cartridge. Particulate Filtration rating is at .001 micron. It removes Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Salts, Metals, Minerals, Organic Matter, Pyroxene’s, Sub-micron Colloidal matter, Cysts and Bacteria, and other contaminants from an untreated water supply. It cannot, however, be used with a chlorinated water source. Average rejection ratio: > 98%. Rated production up to 50 gpd. USA-manufactured. Service Interval: Recommended every 24-36 months
An Alkali Post-filter is available to add on to any new reverse osmosis drinking water filter system, or to retrofit any pre-existing reverse osmosis system. The Alkali filter cartridge contains calcium and magnesium carbonates, essentially hard water minerals that are dissolved into the water stream when dispensing water from the storage tank to the faucet. Adding the hard water minerals back into the water can raise the PH level of the purified water if that is a concern for the individual. Sometimes, when the osmosis membrane filter removes most or all of the dissolved minerals diluted in the tap water, the PH level drops. To raise the PH level back up, you would install an Alkali filter cartridge. The internal filter media is sacrificial and must be replaced periodically. The frequency of the filter change interval will depend on water usage and water quality.
