Cumming, Georgia, United States, May 21, 2025 -- In today's eco-friendly and health-conscious world, finding an efficient and reliable water filtration system that also fits the specific needs is essential. With increasing awareness around water contaminants like PFAS, lead, and arsenic, people now realize that clean, safe water is no longer a given and are looking for reliable solutions like iSpring's RO5004F reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration system to protect their health. This filter is a cutting-edge, high-performance system designed to deliver pure, great-tasting water. Whether upgrading the current filtration system or investing in one for the first time, the iSpring RO5004F combines efficiency, power, and sustainability in an easy-to-use system. Cutting-Edge Technology for Superior Water iSpring's RO5004F employs an advanced 6-layer filtration system, engineered to eliminate more than 99% of harmful contaminants. This includes everything from heavy metals like lead and arsenic to industrial pollutants like PFAS, and even additives like fluoride. At the core of this system is a 0.0001-micron reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, which acts as an ultra-fine barrier to microscopic impurities. This system also features a built-in ultraviolet (UV) light, which sterilizes the water by neutralizing bacteria and viruses. Lasting up to 8,000 hours, the UV component ensures that water delivered to households is not only clean, but also microbiologically safe. This robust protection makes the RO5004F a perfect choice for families who are serious about their water quality and their long-term health. Space-Saving and User-Friendly Design One of the standout features of the RO5004F is its tankless design, which offers a significant upgrade over traditional RO systems. By eliminating the bulky water storage tank, iSpring has created a compact and efficient unit that frees up valuable space under the sink. In addition to saving space, the iSpring RO5004F also streamlines daily use with intuitive, user-friendly features. It includes a filter life indicator that notifies users when it's time for a replacement, taking the guesswork out of maintenance. The self-cleaning feature further extends filter life and minimizes maintenance effort, ensuring the system stays in top working condition for longer. With a powerful built-in pump, the RO5004F enhances water pressure to boost filtration efficiency, delivering purified water five times faster than traditional RO systems. In fact, it can fill a standard cup in just 10 seconds. Quiet, Leak-Free, and Eco-Conscious While performance is important, user experience matters just as much. The iSpring RO5004F is engineered to operate quietly, ensuring the home remains peaceful, even during heavy use. Its leak-resistant casing not only reduces operational noise but also enhances the unit's overall appearance, blending with modern kitchen. Another feature is the system's leak-stop valve, which automatically shuts down the unit if a leak is detected. This smart safety measure provides added peace of mind, helping to prevent water damage and unexpected messes. From an environmental perspective, the RO5004F supports sustainable living. Thanks to its impressive 2:1 pure-to-drain ratio, it dramatically reduces water waste compared to conventional RO systems which is a key benefit for eco-conscious homeowners.

Do you need a water filter?
Watercare production manager Tom Wallace and head of water Sharon Danks. Photo: Watercare Poking through a pile of housewarming presents are two water filter jugs. The fear is real. "Tap water tastes disgusting," one gifter said. "Tap water makes your hair fall," another one claimed. The prevalence of this perception drove a household debate - do we need to filter our tap water, if it's already been through a complex process to make it safe to drink? On a sunny April morning at Watercare's Ardmore Treatment Plant nestled in the foothills of Auckland's Hunua Ranges, production manager Tom Wallace explained how rain water gets from the dams through the filters and into our pipes. "It's always like an optical illusion. The water is under gravity, so it's coming from the two big tunnels through the hillside and it comes in through the plant. And what's typically happening in the clarifiers is that the water goes in the bottom of the clarifiers. And as water rises up, the solids have been settled out through manipulation of the chemistry by dosing some chemicals upfront. "You'll see the troughs running along the top, it collects the clean water and the water flows into the next part of the process, which is the sand filters. There's 30 sand filters and 83 clarifiers. So the clarifiers clarify the water first, they clean it up a little bit, and the filters do the removal of the remaining bits of solid before it goes for disinfection." After the clarification, the water is already crystal clear. But Wallace said looking clean does not mean it's safe to drink. A photo shows the comparison between dirty and clarified water. Photo: Ke-Xin Li There are still harmful bacteria, which will be killed through either chlorine or chlorine combined with UV light. While chlorine gas used at Ardmore is effective at killing harmful bacteria, Watercare's head of water Sharon Danks said it's not to everyone's taste. "Some people are quite sensitive to the taste of chlorine, and so sometimes you can taste it, the chlorine, in the tap water. It doesn't make the water less safe." Chlorine gas is used to disinfect water at Ardmore Water Treatment Plant. Photo: Ke-Xin Li Wallace said lime is added at the final stage to make sure the water heading out to the network "isn't corrosive to the pipes". It takes four hours for water from the reservoirs to pass through the Ardmore Water Treatment plant, before it goes to household taps as clean drinking water. Wallace explained what should and should not be in the water by the time it reaches the tap. "So there is no bacteria within that water that is in any way harmful to public health. We're regulated on that by the Ministry of Health. This plant in particular is sampled every single day for coliforms, E. coli. In terms of mineral content, we typically have what we get from the raw reservoir, we change it a little bit through the process by adding some lime, but we're not adding huge amounts." Ardmore Water Treatment Plant has 30 sand filters and 83 clarifiers. Photo: Ke-Xin Li Danks said the water flows by gravity and when the water leaves the Ardmore plant, it can make it all the way to Forrest Hill on the North Shore, or more than 50kilometres, before it need to be pumped. "The forefathers of Watercare, so to speak, or the engineers that designed the system did very well for us to allow the water to move by gravity for such a long way. It's part of the reason why water is so affordable in Auckland as well." The chlorine level decreased as water travelled through the network, which is why some people may taste stronger chlorine than others, said Danks. On average, 1.2 milligrams of chlorine per litre is added at the Ardmore plant, which results in levels from 0.6 to 0.8 mg/l by the time it reaches Forrest Hill. Chemical dosing at Watercare is done through a control room with computer screens, instead of labs. Photo: Ke-Xin Li Every year the Water Industry Operations Group holds the National Water Taste Test competition. Last year, Rotorua was crowned for the best tasting tap water. Professor Naresh Singhal is the director of the Water Research Centre at the University of Auckland. He said most water filters on the market are like little water-treatment plants. Activated carbon can filter out organic containments, but does not kill bacteria. "Some may also remove chlorine a little bit, but again, I'm not 100 percent sure if they do that effectively. They can remove heavy metals. So if there's a concern that you have PFAs, heavy metals such as lead, then they could be useful in that sense. But generally in New Zealand, my understanding would be that you should not have these issues with drinking water." Singhal said using a water filter at home is more about personal taste than necessity. "People are used to a certain taste. And if the taste changes compared to what they've been used here, it may come across as being unpleasant. It may also come across as being unsafe, and then they will obviously be tempted to take some action." But for those who like their water filtered at home, Singhal suggests actively maintaining and replacing the filters on time, otherwise you might be contaminating what comes through the tap. Back at the Ardmore Treatment Plant, Wallace gives me a glass of freshly treated water from the kitchen. I asked him if they have an in-sink water filter, and the answer is positive, especially for guests who are not used to the stronger chlorine.

Your Ego Is The Enemy Of Progress
Tom Cattarius, CEO of Arktisquelle and a trusted advisor in the water filtration industry and e-commerce sector. getty We all want to feel important and valued by those around us. But in a business setting, that desire can quietly sabotage your decisions—especially when you're trying to reach the next level of your career (or beyond). Here's how your ego might be holding you back without you even realizing it. Don't get me wrong; being confident in business is crucial. Sales calls, conversations with employees and many other situations rely on confidence. But ego is something completely different. Imagine walking into a meeting and presenting your ideas with confidence. So far, so good, right? But then a colleague, mentor or coach shares a better idea—one that you know, based on their track record, is worth considering. Or let's say you've been stuck at the same revenue level for five years. Suddenly, someone in your industry who started just three years ago is already ahead of you in revenue or profit. Now, you have two choices: You can either let your ego justify why this person is different, why you have disadvantages or why it's not fair. That's the kind of ego I'm talking about—the one that holds you back. Or you can take the harder but more productive path by setting aside those excuses and asking, 'What can I learn from this person's behavior and mindset?' But here's the catch: Ego is tricky. It's easy to see in others, but in ourselves? Not so much. Here are some of the most common ways ego can slow your growth, along with how to recognize it in yourself. You don't have to act on every piece of feedback. But the inability to even listen to feedback—especially from people with more experience than you—is a red flag. When things go well, do you automatically take all the credit? Chances are, your ego is speaking louder than reality. Ask yourself, 'How much of my progress is thanks to my team, mentors or partners?' If you believe no one can do things as well as you, that's your ego talking. Growth in business requires trust and letting go of control. When something goes wrong, do you always blame external factors? Or can you say, 'That one's on me'? Letting ego drive your decisions will slowly erode your business and personal growth. Over time, this leads to: • Damaged Relationships: Eventually, your best people will stop tolerating that behavior. • Missed Opportunities: If the idea didn't come from you, your ego might block it. • Burnout: You'll get frustrated more easily, feeling like you're pushing against invisible walls. I often ask myself, "How many entrepreneurs are stuck at the same revenue level for seven years or more—not because it's impossible to grow, but because their brain is conditioned to believe that it's normal or it's 'hard' or they don't need more?" That mindset kills progress. When I catch myself thinking that way, I stop and say, 'No—that's my ego talking. I need to challenge that belief.' Here are a few powerful ways to keep your ego in check: • Practice radical self-awareness. Ask yourself, 'Who in my age group or industry has already achieved what I want?' If someone else has done it, it's possible for you, too. • Seek feedback—from the right people. Don't take advice from just anyone. Listen to those who have achieved what you want to achieve. • Surround yourself with people who challenge you. Yes, it can feel uncomfortable to be the 'smallest' in the room—in revenue, experience or net worth. But that's exactly where growth happens. • Learn to say 'I was wrong.' It may sting at first, but it's one of the most powerful leadership skills you can develop. Now it's on you. Take some time to reflect and ask yourself, 'Do I need to make any changes here?' If you take one thing from this article, let it be this: Choose growth over being right. When you choose this path, everything shifts. You become more open, more coachable and more effective as a leader. Your team will trust you more because they see that you're willing to learn and adapt. You'll make better decisions based not on protecting your ego, but on what actually works. And over time, that mindset creates a compound effect: stronger relationships, smarter strategies and sustainable growth. Forbes Business Council is the foremost growth and networking organization for business owners and leaders. Do I qualify?
