FAQs

What is Reverse Osmosis and how does it differ from a Brita, faucet attachment or fridge filter?

These other filters feature a single carbon filter that can remove some sediment and cloudiness which can lead to poor tasting water. They do not remove the majority of contaminants that lead to unsafe water and poor health.

Sans features 4-stage Reverse Osmosis filtration (plus UV-C light) that removes 99% of unwanted impurities from your water such as heavy metals, viruses and bacteria, forever chemicals (such as PFAS and PFOS), microplastics and more. This is the only technology that can remove all of the impurities that contribute to unhealthy drinking water. You’re left with nothing but clean, pure, great tasting water.

How often must the filters be replaced and how much do they cost?

Sans features three filters which together provide four stages of purification. 

  1. The Pre + Carbon filter traps larger particles and sediment. This is replaced every 12 months and costs $29.99.
  2. The VOC Carbon filter eliminates unpleasant odors and taste. This is replaced every 12 months and costs $29.99.
  3. The Reverse Osmosis filter removes heavy metals, chemicals and microplastics. This filter is replaced every 24 months and costs $49.99.

Average yearly cost: $84.98

Is it difficult to replace the filters?

It’s easy to replace the filters! The three filters in Sans are located in the back of the machine, in front of the tap water tank. Simply remove the tank to easily access the filters. To release the filter, gently lift up the tab holding the filter in place and pull the old filter out. Insert the new filter and secure it by pushing the tab back down until it clicks. It’s that easy.

What do the filters remove?

Is it necessary to replace the filters?

Similarly to filters in an air purifier, HVAC system or the engine of your car, filters reach saturation, eventually become clogged and ineffective and also cause unwanted strain to the motor.
