What are the Differences between Tank and Tankless RO Systems?

RO (Reverse Osmosis) water purifiers have become the first choice for many households due to their efficient purification capabilities. When choosing, people often hesitate between tank and tankless RO systems. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of both, as well as their applicable places, helps make a more informed choice based on household needs, ensuring water consumption is both convenient and healthy.

Tank RO System

Tank RO system consists of a pre-filter, core filters, post-filters, and a storage tank. With a good reserve of purified water, the purified water is stored in the tank, which can meet the demand even if a large amount of water is needed in a short period.

Advantages	Disadvantages
Stable water supply	Takes up space
Suitable for high flow water supply	Risk of secondary pollution
Low water pressure requirement	High wastewater ratio

Tankless RO system

Tankless RO system uses cutting-edge reverse osmosis technology to directly process tap water into purified water that can be directly consumed. Compared to traditional tank water purifiers, the main feature of this system is its fast water production speed and no need for a storage tank.

Space-saving	High water pressure requirement
Fresher water quality	Limited water production speed
Lower wastewater ratio	Higher initial investment

Comparison of Applicable Places

Table 3: Comparison of Applicable Places for Tank and Tankless RO Systems
Comparison items	Tank RO system	Tankless RO system
Applicable households	Large families with high water demand and low space requirements	Small households focusing on fresher water quality
Using habits	Prefers to draw a large amount of water at once	More willing to accept the mode of making and using water on demand
Installation environment	Spacious kitchen space	Limited space but high aesthetic requirements
Operating cost	Requires regular filter replacement and storage tank cleaning	More efficient filters, slightly higher initial investment cost

RO System Selection

Consider space: If installation space is limited, prioritize tankless RO systems; if space is ample, both options are available.
Consider water consumption: Families with high water demand are suitable for tank systems, while those with low water demand are more suited for tankless systems.
Consider budget: Tank systems are more affordable, while tankless systems are more modern but have higher investment costs.
Consider water pressure: Tankless systems require higher water pressure, making tank systems more reliable in areas with low water pressure.
