Only one drinking water system is so advanced that it can reduce the levels of nearly everything from your home’s drinking water that isn’t water: The Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station.
Special Notice: Replacement cartridges purchased online (Amazon or other retailers) are not approved or certified for use with Kinetico products, may not perform to specifications, and their use will void your product warranty.

Reverse osmosis is a powerful filtration method, but it works best as part of a complete, multi-stage system. Additional filters placed before and after the RO membrane are designed to address specific water quality concerns and protect the system itself. For example, pre-filters commonly reduce chlorine, sediment, and chloramine. This step is important because these substances can damage the RO membrane over time and reduce its effectiveness. By removing them first, the system can operate more efficiently and last longer.
Post-filters and specialty filters add another layer of protection and improvement. After water passes through the RO membrane, a post-carbon filter can polish the water, improving taste and odor right before it reaches your glass. Other optional filters can be added to target specific concerns, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bacteria, or to reintroduce beneficial minerals for better taste and balance. This flexibility allows the system to be customized to the unique water conditions in each home.
The Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station uses three standard filters - one to remove chlorine, another to remove contaminants such as metals and nitrates, and one more to eliminate additional compounds that could result in foul tastes and odors. The Standard Filter Cartridges include two sediment prefilter options, the reverse osmosis membrane and a postfilter.
The Sediment Prefilter cartridge is designed to reduce sediment content during the prefiltration stage. It is commonly used for well water supplies.
Contact your local Kinetico Dealer to purchase this filter.
The High Capacity Carbon/Sediment Prefilter cartridge is designed to reduce sediment and chlorine content during the prefiltration stage. It is most generally used for municipal water supplies or in cases where water is treated with chlorine.

The reverse osmosis membrane is the heart of the K5 Drinking Water Station and its design is exclusive to Kinetico. It is not a FlexFilter and does not need to be replaced regularly like FlexFilters.

The K5 Drinking Water Station’s postfilter reduces tastes, odors and aesthetic chlorine before water is consumed to ensure it tastes great.

Reverse osmosis filtration is often referred to as one of the most effective ways to reduce contaminants in your water, such as mercury, PFAS, total dissolved solids (TDS), and more. The FlexFilters offered with the K5 Drinking Water Station help to provide a wider, case-specific blanket of protection for your home's drinking water.
Filters like our Chloramine Guard are made specifically to target and reduce levels of chloramine that can be found in municipal water. Over 1/3 of the municipal water in the US is filtered using chloramine, meaning trace amounts are found more often than not. While it's not deadly, it can cause issues over time, especially if your water contains a significant amount.
The K5 Drinking Water Station can have our Mineral Plus filter added in tandem with our post filter. Reverse Osmosis filtration is sometimes considered "too strong", in that the process even reduces levels of "healthy" minerals that can naturally be found in our water. This filter is designed to add minerals such as magnesium and calcium back into the purified water, while keeping the same cleaner, more refreshing taste and high-quality.
Along with the standard K5 cartridges, Kinetico’s revolutionary dual FlexFilters provide customizable filtration to tackle your water’s specific filtration needs. The FlexFilter options include solutions for reducing contaminants like bacteria & viruses and VOCs, as well as solutions to add beneficial minerals to your drinking water. Contact your local Kinetico water expert to determine which filters are best for your water.
The Chloramine Guard cartridge is designed to significantly reduce chloramine, a chemical compound made of free chlorine and ammonia. Chloramine is used to treat approximately 1/3 of US municipal water sources.
