What is the K5 Drinking Water Station?
The Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station with VOC Guard is an advanced under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) system designed to provide high-quality drinking water right at your tap. It treats water used for drinking, cooking, and ice, delivering purified water on demand.
What does it do?
The K5 with VOC Guard is designed to significantly reduce 70+ contaminants, including:
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) - such as industrial solvents, fuel byproducts, and chemicals that can affect taste, odor, and safety.
- Chlorine and chloramine - improving taste and odor.
- Dissolved solids - including salts and minerals that impact water quality.
- Common contaminants - such as lead, cysts, and other impurities often found in municipal water supplies.
How does it work?
The Kinetico K5 uses a multi-stage reverse osmosis filtration process to purify water at the point of use. Water passes through several specialized cartridges, including pre-filters for sediment and chlorine reduction, a high-efficiency RO membrane, and the VOC Guard post-filter. The VOC Guard cartridge is specifically designed to target volatile organic compounds that can pass through standard RO systems, providing an added layer of protection and peace of mind.
What do you get?
- Cleaner, better-tasting water for drinking, cooking, and ice.
- Reduced exposure to VOCs, chlorine, chloramine, and other common contaminants.
- Water that supports healthier beverages, meals, and appliances like coffee makers and ice machines.
- A certified drinking water system - the K5 Drinking Water Station is tested and certified by the Water Quality Association for contaminant reduction and performance.

What is Reverse Osmosis and how does it work?
Reverse osmosis, or RO, is a water treatment process in which water passes through a semipermeable membrane. Reverse osmosis is known for producing great-tasting pure water and being highly effective for contaminant removal.
Reverse osmosis technology relies on pressure to push the water molecules through the membrane. Water pressure varies by water source. City water is supplied between 40 and 100 psi (pounds per square inch). Well water is delivered between 20 and 60 psi, depending on your pump. The production rate of the reverse osmosis membrane is dependent on factors such as temperature, pressure and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels. Since reverse osmosis works slowly, most RO systems include a storage tank that collects treated water. This feature is included so you can fill your glass or pitcher with clean water whenever you want it.
Because reverse osmosis water is so pure, it can pick up bad tastes and odors from the storage tank’s bladder or walls if it is stored for long periods of time. Running the water through a postfilter once it leaves the storage tank will remove residual tastes or odors before the water is dispensed.
The water you and your family drink and cook with today is probably not as clean as it could be. It’s good enough, but is “good enough” okay with you? Every year, we learn more about what is in our water and how these contaminants affect our health. At present, the EPA has set maximum contaminant levels for more than 90 contaminants that exist in water. Although the water may be deemed safe to drink, many people don’t want to drink any amount of a contaminant, even if it’s within legal limits.
