Our Testing & Lab Testing
The product or products covered in this video were tested under real-life conditions and on our specific water supply. As such, lab-testing was limited to those contaminants present in our water supply and at their respective concentrations. A product may perform differently when used on a different water supply. Furthermore, lab testing for water contaminant levels is subject to variabilities and inaccuracies. Our test results may not represent the product’s performance in other areas or under different conditions.
100% reduction means a contaminant could not be detected above the minimum detection level.

    what a gem of a channel, thank you
  • @JesseTheGameDev
    This is a pretty significant issue. Very unfortunate. It's great that you suggested others at the end.
  • @aquaprofessor
    Great job, BOS! Some eye-opening tests and analysis.
  • @cherylwin9364
    THANK YOU FOR RELEASING THIS VALUABLE INFORMATION 😇🙏🏽👍🏾
  • @tinzurc
    Great video! Please do more of this! ❤❤❤
  • @RealCyberSeb
    Thank you for this and your other excellent videos! It seems as though the concentration of the chemicals decreases over time and I wouldn't be surprised if they disappear completely after a while. I purchased a CoreRO C1H just before it was discontinued. When I turned it on, I saw that the initial rinse of the RO filter created very foamy waste water. Thanks to your video, I was aware of the potential problem and flushed the device three times. I now handle it in such way that I discard the first new filtered water after a prolonged pause (e.g., after the night). Of course, I can't say whether this is sufficient, but I'm not going crazy about it. I wouldn't be surprised if this problem also affects many other RO systems, as there probably aren't that many manufacturers of RO membranes ... Again, thank you for your great work! Greetings from Germany!

    Thanks for saving me, I was about to buy one! 🤗 Thankgod I do my research.
  • @carlosmelick7075
    You are performing a great public service. Clean water should be at the top of everyone’s list.
  • @relevant.c5411
    glad i got a simpure. great prices and apparently came back clean in your review. thanks!
  • @sdc-ca
    Nice work on this channel + research! Have you tested the Waterdrop x12? Holding off on waterdrop until more research comes out, it's a bummer because their products are so compact.
  • @KA-bt7fw
    Thank you for the information. Any updates would be much appreciated.
  • @onetruth4295
    Great Videos! Keep em coming! Looking forward to the Waterdrop N1 or K19 reviews. I'm still undecided between a Waterdrop or The RKIN U1 Countertop RO.
  • @WaterspoutsOfTheDeep
    I assume this has to do with the RO membrane not being flushed enough when new. Doesn't hurt to always flush double the recommended amount or more.
  • @bigdogalldayeveryday
    Wow, great great video! Thanks for sharing! What do you use for your family's water needs?
