Product Overview and Operation

The Stokk RT1-RO filter is a crucial component of the Stokk T1 water filtration system. It utilizes a 0.0001 micrometer reverse osmosis membrane to effectively filter out harmful substances. This includes heavy metal ions such as arsenic and lead, various bacteria and microorganisms, and organic compounds like trichloromethane and carbon tetrachloride. This advanced filtration process significantly reduces Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in your water.

The RT1-RO filter is part of a multi-stage filtration process, typically serving as a primary purification stage in compatible systems like the Stokk T1, which often features a 6-stage Reverse Osmosis and Ultraviolet (UV) technology.
