Q&A

Your Livation mineral filter states ... "It also puts beneficial alkaline minerals into the water, such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium" What kind of potassium is in the Livation cartridge and what amount? dipotassium phosphate?

The Livation alkaline cartridge uses a mineral media blend designed to add trace alkaline minerals back into RO water, including calcium, magnesium, and potassium. We do not currently publish a specific potassium compound, such as dipotassium phosphate, or a guaranteed potassium dosage because the exact mineral contribution can vary based on water chemistry, flow rate, contact time, pH, and cartridge age. The cartridge is intended for taste improvement and light remineralization, not as a controlled dietary potassium supplement. If you have a medical need to monitor potassium intake, especially for kidney, heart, or blood pressure concerns, we recommend consulting your physician and using a certified water test after installation to confirm actual mineral levels in your finished water.

Can this be added to the 5 stage RO drinking system?

Yes. It’s designed to be added to an RO drinking system and comes with 1/4" quick-connect fittings. It should be installed post-membrane—specifically, inline before your RO system’s post-carbon “polishing” filter (the retrofit instructions show moving the tube that feeds the post-carbon into the Livation’s inlet, then running the Livation’s outlet back into the post-carbon). It’s for RO water only.There’s an optional retrofit kit (201-LHAC-G-https://uswatersystems.com/products/us-water-systems-livation-hydration-in-line-alkaline-filter-retrofit-installation-kit-gray?_pos=1&_sid=12d65b351&_ss=rKIT) that makes mounting/tubing easier

How much does a Livation raise the TDS levels? I understand different water different levels. But if my water was at 8 TDS. How much do you think it will increase? And how long should I flush it after installation?

Typically, alkaline filters like this one can increase TDS by 30 to 60 ppm (parts per million), although this can vary. The increase is due to the addition of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sometimes sodium, which are beneficial for taste and health but do contribute to the overall TDS measurement. it's recommended to flush the system for about 5 to 10 minutes. This initial flushing helps to clear out any loose carbon fines or manufacturing residues that may be present within the filter media. It ensures that the water quality is optimal when you begin to use it regularly.

Hi, How long does the livation filter last?

The US Water Systems Livation Hydration In-line Alkaline Filter is designed to last up to 2,000 gallons or approximately one year, depending on your water usage and quality.
