Tap water is not safe to drink in many cities around the world. There are plenty of fancy water filtration systems on the market but many of them require time-consuming setup. The Ecoviva MATE4 is a countertop 7-stage reverse osmosis water filtration system with a TDS display that filters your water fast. It can get rid of 99.99% of dangerous contaminants. It also uses UV light to treat your water before consumption.
We recently had the chance to test one of these. Our MATE4 came in a neat package. It comes with a filter installed that lasts up to 12 months. You also get a tool to remove the filter without a whole lot of effort. The unit has a water container in the back, the filter in the middle, and the pure water tank in the front. This unit only gives you clean water, but lets you choose the temperature. You get 4 levels to choose from (normal, 115F, 185F, 212F).
MATE4 has a 3:1 pure to drain ratio. It is extremely easy to set up. You simply fill the water reservoir with water, plug the machine in, and let it go to work. The display shows you when this water filtration system is doing its work. The TDS display shows how clean your water is. You can see the number dropping as the machine runs. There is also a convenient magnetic tray to hold your cup.
This RO water filter system has 150ml, 300ml, and 500ml volume options. There is also a child lock, so your young ones can’t activate it with a touch. The Ecoviva MATE4 has a footprint of 8 x 13 x 11″, so you can easily fit it in small areas. It has a pretty sleek design, so it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb in your kitchen.
We didn’t have to even read the manual to get started but you will want to let the machine go through a 6-8 step priming cycle before putting it to use. Instructions for descaling are included in the manual. A high altitude mode is available, which you can activate by holding the 300ml and 500ml buttons at the same time.
Overall, the MATE4 is a pretty user-friendly water filtration system that gets rid of dangerous contaminants, viruses, and bacteria. It is not too heavy, but has non-slip feet to stay put as you use it. The heating happens in just seconds, so you will have warm water for your tea or formula fast. The filter is pretty easy to remove as well. Well worth a look if you are serious about having cleaner water at home.
