DUAL MICRON & STEAM ACTIVATED CARBON FILTERS
The high-capacity 5-micron filter portions remove 99% of dust, rust, and any other particulates measuring more than 5 microns in size. The carbon portion is from a coconut shell that underwent a steam activation process to create an activated carbon form with micro-pores increasing the total surface area. This decreases the cloudiness in the water, eliminates odor, and improves the taste of the water. More importantly, this stage removes 99% of chlorine, chloramine, organic contaminants, pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals, and bacteria that got through the previous portion.
HIGH-EFFICIENCY REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE for ULTRA-PURIFICATION
Our high-efficiency reverse osmosis membrane eliminates all particles down to 0.0001 microns in size. Eco-friendly 1:1 waste to recovery means that for every 1 gallon of clean water made, 1 gallon is used.
NATURAL IONIZING & ALKALIZING | HYDROGEN-RICH
The ionizing and alkalizing stages change the acidic reverse osmosis water into a perfect naturally mineralized, ionized, hydrogen-rich water.
The dolomites from caves provide a mineral source of magnesium bicarbonate and calcium. Calcium deposits from sea shelves in the ocean provide a mineral source of calcium and potassium. Marble gravel provides mineral source of calcium, sodium, and potassium. Our carefully sourced, high-quality minerals are certified natural.
The bio-ceramic component is a special blend of the natural form of magnesium, calcium, and potassium bicarbonate salts for additional minerals. Meeting NSF/EPA standards, it negatively charges the water from 7,000 Ea/cc to 20,000 Ea/cc. It reduces tap water ORP +360 to ORP -250 making anti-oxidant water. Tourmaline crystals are added to stabilize ionization. A mix of activated carbon polishes the taste.
pH & HYDROGEN STABILIZATION & POLISHING
Certified natural source of dolomites in powder form stabilize pH and hydrogen levels. A mix of activated carbons polishes the water to perfection. In the final stage, water is run over dolomites and quartz crystals to simulate and take on the therapeutic properties of a living, moving stream. This naturally restructures, recharges, and reprograms what was once damaged water into living water.
Common Questions
What makes the Pono Revival system different from a standard reverse osmosis system?
Standard RO systems are built to purify water. Pono Revival takes it a step further: after reverse osmosis purification, the water passes through additional stages of naturally sourced minerals and electrolytes, producing clean, great-tasting water that’s naturally alkaline, ionized, and hydrogen-rich.
Is this a reverse osmosis (RO) system?
Yes. Reverse osmosis is the primary purification stage, with a high-efficiency membrane that filters particles down to approximately 0.0001 microns. From there, the water also passes through mineralization, ionization, hydrogen-rich, pH stabilization, and polishing stages before it reaches your faucet.
Does the system add minerals back into the water?
Yes. Reverse osmosis removes dissolved substances, including minerals. After purification, the system remineralizes the water using naturally sourced mineral media, restoring magnesium, calcium, potassium, and naturally occurring bicarbonates.
How does the system make the water alkaline?
Rather than adding an alkaline chemical solution, purified RO water passes through naturally sourced mineral media that adds minerals and raises pH naturally. Because source water, temperature, flow rate, and filter age all play a role, exact pH can vary.
What does “hydrogen-rich water” mean?
Hydrogen-rich water contains dissolved molecular hydrogen (H₂). This is separate from pH — molecular hydrogen and alkalinity are two different characteristics of the water, and the system’s post-RO stages are designed to deliver both.
Is alkaline water safe to drink every day?
For most healthy people, yes — the system is designed to be the everyday drinking water for your whole household. Alkaline water isn’t a treatment or cure for a medical condition, so anyone with kidney concerns or dietary restrictions should check with their healthcare provider.
What contaminants does the system remove?
The system combines sediment filtration, activated carbon, and a high-efficiency RO membrane to significantly reduce sediment, chlorine and chloramine, unwanted tastes and odors, and a broad range of dissolved contaminants before remineralization. Actual reduction depends on incoming water quality and proper maintenance.
How often do the filters need to be replaced?
Most households can expect around one year before the first routine filter change, though actual life depends on water quality and usage. A built-in TDS meter helps you monitor water quality and system performance along the way.
Will I have enough water for my whole family?
For most households, yes — the system continuously produces water and automatically refills the storage tank as you use it. Heavy back-to-back use can temporarily empty the tank faster than it refills; just give it time to catch up.
Where is the Pono Revival system made?
The Pono Revival Natural Alkaline Hydrogen-Rich Drinking Water System is proudly made in the USA.
Installation & Technical Details
Does alkaline water interfere with stomach acid or digestion?
Drinking alkaline water doesn’t permanently change your stomach’s acidity — your stomach tightly regulates that environment as part of normal digestion. As with any water, individual tolerance can vary, so anyone with a digestive or medical condition should follow their healthcare provider’s advice.
Does the system remove PFAS?
Reverse osmosis and activated carbon are technologies commonly used to reduce many PFAS compounds, and the Pono Revival system combines both. Since PFAS levels vary by water source, customers with a specific concern should rely on water testing to verify performance for their own supply.
Does the system remove fluoride?
Reverse osmosis membranes are commonly used to substantially reduce fluoride and other dissolved substances. RO is the system’s primary ultra-purification stage before the water is remineralized.
Does it remove the healthy minerals from my water?
The RO stage intentionally removes dissolved substances to create a highly purified starting point. Rather than relying on whatever minerals remain in the source water, the system then passes the purified water through specially selected mineral media to add desirable minerals back in.
How often does the RO membrane need to be replaced?
The RO membrane generally lasts significantly longer than the pre- and post-filters. Actual life depends heavily on incoming water quality, consumption, pressure, and proper maintenance — regular filter changes help protect it.
Is the system difficult to maintain?
No. It’s built with convenient maintenance in mind, using twist-off and John Guest quick-connect cartridges plus an encapsulated RO membrane that simplifies replacement. Routine care is mainly filter changes at the right intervals and occasional performance checks.
Does the system waste water like other RO systems?
All RO systems need some water to flush contaminants away from the membrane. Pono Revival uses a high-efficiency configuration with roughly a 1:1 waste-to-recovery ratio — about one gallon of drain water per gallon of purified water produced.
How much water can the system store?
A 3.2-gallon pressurized storage tank lets purified water accumulate so it’s ready when you open the faucet. Because the tank is pressurized, usable capacity can vary with household water pressure and conditions.
Can the system also supply my refrigerator and ice maker?
In many homes, yes — the filtered-water line can often be split to supply both the dedicated drinking faucet and a refrigerator or ice maker. The exact setup depends on your plumbing layout and refrigerator requirements.
Does the system come with its own faucet?
Yes. The installation kit includes a dedicated ceramic-disk drinking-water faucet, available in chrome or brushed-nickel finishes.
Can I use my existing drinking-water faucet?
Often, yes, provided the faucet and tubing are compatible with the system. Your installer can confirm whether your existing faucet can be reused.
Where is the system installed?
The main filtration assembly and storage tank are typically installed under the kitchen sink or in a nearby cabinet. The filter assembly measures about 16″H × 18″W × 7″D, and the storage tank needs about 16″H × 11″D of space.
Do I need a plumber to install it?
Professional installation by a plumber or experienced handyman is recommended, since it involves connecting to the cold-water supply, installing the drain connection, positioning the storage tank, and connecting the dedicated faucet.
Does the system require electricity?
No electronic ionizer is required for the standard filtration process — it runs on water pressure, reverse osmosis, and mineral media to purify and condition the water.
Is this the same water as Pono Revival’s refill water?
The home system follows the same philosophy as Pono Revival refill water — start with highly purified water, then make it better-tasting, mineralized, naturally alkaline, and hydrogen-rich. The biggest difference is convenience: you can make it fresh at home, on demand.
Why buy a home system instead of bottled or refill water?
A home system gives your family continuous access to purified, mineralized water without regularly buying, hauling, storing, or exchanging large bottles — a convenient long-term alternative for households that drink a lot of water.
Is this a water softener or whole-house filtration system?
No. This is a point-of-use drinking-water system designed for drinking and cooking water. It doesn’t replace a whole-house filtration system or water softener.
How do I know when my system needs service?
Changes in production, taste, TDS readings, or unusually slow tank refill times can signal it’s time for maintenance. Following the recommended filter schedule is the best way to keep performance consistent — and Pono Revival can help you figure out what needs attention if you’re ever unsure.
Can Pono Revival help with installation and future filter replacements?
Yes. Pono Revival can guide you through installation requirements, replacement filters, maintenance, and troubleshooting so your system keeps performing well for years to come.
