| Consideration | Kitchen carbon filter | Reverse osmosis |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | A simpler kitchen filtration option; the cartridge determines the supported benefits. | A membrane-based treatment system; supported reductions depend on the complete model. |
| Tap arrangement | May use a dedicated tap or a compatible existing-tap connection. | Typically a separate drinking-water outlet; check the exact configuration. |
| Space | Filter and service-access space are needed. | Unit, service access and any tank or accessories must fit. |
| Power and drainage | An ordinary carbon-filter setup generally does not need power or a waste connection. | Wastewater needs a suitable connection. Power requirements depend on the model. |
| Maintenance | The correct cartridge and manufacturer-defined replacement schedule. | Prefilters, membranes and other service items as specified for the model. |
| Who is it for? | Assessed against your supply, taste preferences, convenience and kitchen layout. | Assessed against your actual treatment goals and acceptable running requirements. |
| Pricing | Not yet published. A complete installation quotation would come after assessment. | Not yet published. Compare complete installation and ongoing costs. |
