Patented 4-Stage Reverse Osmosis Technology
Many water filters use only a single carbon filter that hasn't been tested or certified to remove any contaminants. AquaTru goes beyond — with a patented, four-stage purification system that delivers cleaner, safer, healthier water.
How it Works
Pre-Filter
Captures sediment, rust, and large particles before water enters the next stage.
Carbon Filter
Reduces chlorine, chemicals, and other unwanted impurities.
Reverse Osmosis
The core purification stage, designed to remove lead & heavy metals.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
This final stage filters out “forever chemicals” (PFOA + PFOS), microplastics, & VOCs like rocket fuel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AquaTru purifiers. Can’t find your answer? Reach out to our support team.
Which AquaTru and Bluevua water purifier filters hard water?
AquaTru is intended for water with hardness below 10 gpg (grain per gallon). If the hardness is higher, lime scale will build up on the membrane inside the Reverse Osmosis Filter. Scale build up will plug the RO Filter and increase filtering time requiring more frequent descaling maintenance and RO filter replacement. We do not recommend that AquaTru is used with water in excess of 10 gpg hardness, unless the water is softened prior to filtering in AquaTru, or unless you regularly complete descaling maintenance. Similarly, Bluevua's purifiers also feature multi-stage filtration that targets hard water contaminants. For the best results, check the specific model details on each product’s respective pages.
Do AquaTru water purifiers have Wi-Fi capabilities?
Yes, AquaTru’s water purifier smart models have Wi-Fi capabilities. They can be connected via Wi-Fi to the AquaTru app, where users can get real-time filter life status updates, track water quality and water consumption, and monitor total dissolved solids.

Every AquaTru purifier comes with a 1-year limited warranty, with extended coverage available. If there’s ever an issue with materials or workmanship, we’ll repair or replace it for you.
