Flagship under-sink reverse osmosis for chemical-heavy city water. MicroMax 8500 is a 5-stage RO (4 easy-change cartridges) that pairs a dual-carbon prefilter with a precision RO membrane to tackle contaminants most basic filters miss.

Built to help reduce PFAS (PFOA/PFOS), pharmaceuticals (NSF/ANSI 401), VOCs, chlorine/chloramine byproducts, and heavy metals like lead, arsenic (V) and chromium-6—so your kitchen gets better-than-bottled water for drinking, cooking, coffee and tea.

The 8500 fits neatly under the sink with a dedicated RO faucet, a pressurized storage tank for on-demand pours, and quick-change RO filters that are renter-friendly and easy to maintain.

If you’re searching for a PFAS removal system, fluoride reduction RO, or a dual-carbon, 5-stage reverse osmosis system designed for municipal water contaminants, this is our go-to choice.

FILTER DETAILS

Note: The 8500 uses 4 easy-change cartridges; the Pre-Carbon cartridge performs two distinct carbon stages, creating a 5-stage purification path.
Stage 1 — Activated Carbon (Pre-Filter)
Removes rust, sand, silt, and fine particulates to protect the carbon media and RO membrane—stabilizing flow and taste from the first sip.
Stage 2 — Carbon Block (Chlorine & VOCs)
Adsorbs chlorine/chloramine taste and odor and tackles many VOCs, improving flavor early and prepping the water for deeper chemical reduction.
Stage 3 — Advanced Carbon Adsorption (Dual-Carbon, in the Pre-Carbon Cartridge)
A second micro-adsorptive pass that targets agricultural chemicals, industrial solvents, and pharmaceutical residues before they can reach the RO membrane.
Stage 4 — Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane
The precision barrier that reduces dissolved contaminants including fluoride, lead, arsenic, chromium-6, nitrates/nitrites, PFAS (PFOA/PFOS) and other microscopic toxins—delivering laboratory-grade purity.
Stage 5 — Post-Carbon Polish (Final Adsorption)
Finishing pass to remove any remaining trace volatiles and refine taste for clean, crisp water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—validated under NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS and NSF/ANSI 401 for select emerging contaminants (BPA, estrone, ibuprofen, naproxen, nonylphenol).

Yes. The reverse osmosis membrane step reduces fluoride along with heavy metals and other dissolved contaminants.

The system operates between 30–100 psi; a booster pump is recommended if your pressure is under ~30–40 psi.

Unlike simple carbon filters, RO systems reduce virtually everything dissolved in your water—chlorine, heavy metals, fluoride, PFAS, pharmaceuticals. Filters like pitchers or faucet units only address taste, chlorine, and sediment.

Absolutely. Choose the dual kitchen/RO faucet option to avoid drilling. It’s removable and landlord-friendly.

Carbon cartridges are typically replaced every ~18 months; the RO membrane lasts ~3 years, depending on water quality and use.

During purification, a small drain stream carries away rejected contaminants—typically about 3–5× the product flow.

Yes! Add the Sango or UMH Pure as part of our Hydration Stack for remineralized, structured water.

Yes, you can use any plumbing professional to install this for you. The system comes with detailed instructions and our team is always just a phone call away. No long wait times!
