Viomi's Vortex Under-Sink RO Water Purifiers: Clean Water at Your Fingertips
Dealing with large, outdated filters is a hassle. Viomi's groundbreaking Vortex Under-Sink RO Water Systems make it easy to enjoy cleaner, better water with cutting-edge technology, straight from your faucet.
Why Choose RO Water Purification and Under-Sink Systems?
Viomi's Reverse Osmosis (RO) system uses a semi-permeable membrane with pores as small as 0.0001 microns to filter out a wide range of harmful substances from your water. This includes dissolved solids, heavy metals like lead and mercury, chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, microplastics, and even tiny viruses and bacteria. The result is water that’s not only safe but also tastes fresh and pure.
An RO water filter offers excellent filtration, and an under-sink RO water system brings added benefits to your home. They are discreetly installed beneath your counter, freeing up valuable kitchen space without trading off the convenience of having ready-on-demand access to very pure water. Unlike faucet-mounted and countertop filters that require constant refills, an under-sink RO system taps right into your cold water supply, providing a consistent, high-volume stream of filtered water with every turn of the faucet. This discreet addition means no clutter on countertops and instant access to improved hydration for drinking, cooking, and preparing baby formula.
The benefits of owning an under-sink RO water filter are:
- Space-Saving Design: Hidden under your sink, free up your countertops.
- On-Demand Purity: Enjoy purified water at the touch of a button, whenever you want to drink, cook, or rinse fruits and vegetables.
- Better Filtration: Three-stage reverse osmosis technology removes impurities other filters do not pick up.
- Save Money: No bottled water troubles and costs, and reduced plastic waste.
- Better Water Taste: Enjoy distinctly cleaner, fresher-tasting water for all your culinary requirements.
Vortex-6 vs. Vortex-8: Finding Your Perfect Purity Partner
Viomi carries two excellent models: the V6 and the V8. Both models employ an advanced 9-stage reverse osmosis filtration process, removing Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), PFOA, PFOS, chlorine, lead, heavy metals, and microplastics leaving your water extremely clean.
Here’s a comparison to help you choose the best under-sink RO water purifier for your home:
| Feature | Vortex-6 Under-Sink RO Water Purifier | Vortex-8 Under-Sink RO Water Purifier |

The primary difference between the Vortex-6 and Vortex-8 is their capacity and resulting flow rate of GPD (Gallons Per Day). The Vortex-8, with its 800 GPD high-flow rate, has a much higher flow rate than typical 400G or 600G models, and as such is an excellent choice for larger families or households that need higher daily water usage. Vortex-8 also comes with another composite filter which balances the lifespan of both the filters for approximately 4 years of continuous use in a single purchase.
What Makes Viomi Vortex RO Systems Stand Out
Viomi's Vortex under-sink RO water purifiers have special advantages that distinguish them from others:
- Long-Lasting Filters: No more frequent replacements. The composite filter has a 2-year storage life, and the extremely critical RO filter boasts a remarkable 4-year duration. This means less hassle with maintenance and lower long-term costs.
- Exceptional Flow Rate: With the Vortex-8's staggering 800 GPD capacity, you get faster water output than the majority of standard 400G or 600G systems. This means less waiting time for your filtered water, more convenience to your routine.
- Greater Water Efficiency: The 3:1 pure-to-drain ratio is much higher net water purification efficiency compared to common 1:1 or 2:1 ratios. This commitment to water conservation makes Viomi Vortex systems a green solution that saves your wallet cash on your water bill as well.
- Simple Filter Status: The smart LED faucet ring provides an unmistakable, at-a-glance determination of your filter's status so you're always aware when it needs to be replaced without ever having to second-guess.
- V8 Extended Value: Vortex-8 is provided with a spare composite filter so that there can be balanced filter life and around 4 years of filtration from the same purchase.
Easy Installation and Maintenance for Your Under-Sink RO Water Purifier
Both under-sink RO water systems are easy to use in design. Space-saving, tankless design not only conserves space but is also effortless to install, something that can be done within 20 minutes and using basic tools. Tool-free replacement of the filters and timely reminders from the smart LED faucet ensure your system performs at its optimum level at all times. Long-life filters reduce maintenance to a bare minimum, providing you with stress-free access to pure water at all times.

If you choose a Viomi under-sink RO water system, you're making an investment in your family's health and well-being. These filtration systems provide you with the comfort of knowing that your drinking water is free from contaminants of a wide range of harmful substances.
