What is (RO) Reverse Osmosis?

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water purification method that pushes water through a very fine filter. This filter blocks dirt, chemicals, bacteria, and even dissolved salts. It's one of the few systems that can turn salty water and borehole water into clean, safe drinking water that tastes fresh and sweet.

Removes salts Removes bacteria Removes chemicals

99.9% Purification rate

Why reverse Osmosis

RO removes both visible impurities and invisible contaminants like salts, fluoride, chemicals, and bacteria. It is powerful enough to purify salty water, hard water, borehole water, municipal water — basically any type of water — and make it safe for drinking and cooking in Kenyan homes.

Why Does My Drinking Water Taste Metallic?

Metallic taste in water is commonly caused by iron, manganese, zinc, copper or low pH. A simple water test identifies the specific parameter, and multi-stage filtration resolves it. The Five Most Common Causes Cause Typical Level Causing Taste Source Iron (Fe²⁺ dissolved) Above 0.1 mg/L Borehole geology, old iron pipes Manganese Above 0.05 mg/L Borehole geology, anaerobic conditions Zinc Above 3–5 mg/L Galvanised pipes, aged galvanised tanks Copper Above 1 mg/L New copper pipes, corrosive (low-pH) water Low pH (acidic water) Below pH 6.5 Rainwater collection, soft groundwater, distilled water Diagnosing the Cause The most reliable approach is a basic water chemistry test covering iron, manganese, zinc, copper and pH, available from any KENAS-accredited laboratory for approximately KSh 3,000–5,000. A simpler at-home approach is a TDS meter combined with pH strips, which can confirm whether pH or high mineral content is the driver, though these don't identify specific metals. Source: Metallic taste in water, causes and solutions, SpringWell Water. Iron and Manganese: Kenya's Most Common Metallic Taste Culprits Kenya's Rift Valley geology and many highland areas have naturally elevated iron and manganese in groundwater. These minerals are not harmful at moderate levels, but they cause a pronounced metallic or bitter taste at levels above taste thresholds and cause red/brown staining in sinks, toilets and laundry above 0.3 mg/L (iron) and 0.1 mg/L (manganese). Iron and manganese in groundwater exist in two forms: dissolved (ferrous/manganous) and particulate (ferric/manganic). Dissolved forms require oxidation to convert them to particulate form before filtration. Some multi-stage systems include an oxidising pre-treatment stage for this purpose. pH and Its Effect on Taste Pure water has a pH of 7.0 (neutral). Slightly acidic water (pH 6.0–6.8) has a noticeably sharp or metallic taste even in the absence of elevated metal ions. Rainwater collection systems and some highland boreholes produce naturally acidic water. The iClear Standard purifier includes a mineralisation or alkaline filter as a final stage that raises pH to a comfortable 7.0–7.5, improving taste significantly. Addressing the Problem For iron/manganese from a borehole: an oxidising pre-filter followed by RO removes dissolved metals effectively. For galvanised tanks and pipes: replacing zinc-coated steel with food-grade PE tanks and CPVC plumbing eliminates zinc leaching. For copper from new pipes: flush the system daily for the first 4–6 weeks after installation; copper levels normalise as the pipe surface oxidises. For low pH: an alkaline/mineralisation stage at the output of your RO system restores a comfortable, neutral pH. Q: Can metallic-tasting water be harmful? A: At the levels typically producing taste changes in Kenyan water, metals are aesthetically unpleasant rather than acutely dangerous. However, at higher concentrations, manganese has been linked to neurological effects and iron to oxidative stress. Testing establishes whether levels exceed health guidelines. Q: My water tasted fine for years from my borehole, why has it changed? A: Seasonal water table changes and shifts in nearby land use can alter the chemical profile of borehole water. A change in taste is a reason to retest. Get your metallic taste diagnosed and fixed iClear assesses your water chemistry and configures the right filtration to restore clean, neutral taste.

Bottled Water vs. Home Water Purifier: Which Actually Costs Less?

A 20-litre bottle of water in Nairobi retails for KSh 130 to 180. A household using 100 litres per week spends over KSh 24,000 per year on bottled water, before accounting for the environmental cost of plastic. The Full Cost of Bottled Water The direct financial cost of bottled water is easy to underestimate because purchases happen in small increments. But when calculated annually and over five years, the numbers are striking: Household usage Weekly cost Annual cost 5-year cost 50 litres/week (2 bottles) KSh 300 KSh 15,600 KSh 78,000 100 litres/week (4–5 bottles) KSh 600 KSh 31,200 KSh 156,000 200 litres/week (10 bottles) KSh 1,200 KSh 62,400 KSh 312,000 Office, 500 litres/week KSh 3,000 KSh 156,000 KSh 780,000 Figures based on retail price of KSh 150 per 20-litre bottle, Nairobi market average, October 2026. The True Cost of a Home RO Purifier A home RO purifier has three cost components: installation, filter replacements, and periodic service. Unlike bottled water, the cost per litre falls as volume increases, and the system continues producing purified water 24 hours a day. Cost Component Annual Estimate (KSh) Filter replacement set (pre-filters + post-filter) 3,500–5,000 Annual service call 2,000–4,000 RO membrane (amortised over 3 years) 2,500–4,000 Total annual running cost 8,000–13,000 At 100 litres per week, a home purifier costs roughly KSh 10,000 per year versus KSh 31,200 for bottled water, a saving of over KSh 21,000 annually. The Environmental Equation Kenya imports approximately 1.6 billion plastic bottles annually. Less than 10% are recycled; the remainder end up in landfill, waterways and eventually the ocean. Plastic water bottles require 17 million barrels of oil per year to produce globally. Nairobi's informal waste sector recovers some PET bottles, but ocean plastic surveys consistently find Kenyan-brand bottles in coastal debris studies. A household switching from bottled water to an RO purifier eliminates an estimated 250 single-use bottles per year. Quality Comparison Bottled water in Kenya is governed by KEBS KS EAS 12, the same standard as municipal treated water. Testing by Consumer Insight and individual researchers has periodically found samples of Kenyan bottled water exceeding limits for total coliform bacteria, TDS and pH. An RO purifier running on schedule produces water that consistently meets or exceeds bottled water quality at a fraction of the cost. Make the switch, save money, reduce plastic iClear's home purifier pays for itself within months versus bottled water costs. Find out more.

Water Rationing in Kenya: How Intermittent Supply Affects Water Quality

When municipal water supply resumes after a rationing period, the pressure surge can dislodge biofilm, carry sediment and allow back-siphonage from stagnant sections of the pipe network. The first water to arrive should be flushed before use. Kenya's Water Rationing Reality Intermittent water supply is a daily reality for millions of urban Kenyans. Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company operates a zonal rationing schedule in most areas of the city, with many estates receiving piped water for as little as 3–4 days per week. During drought periods, which have intensified under climate change, rationing schedules tighten further. Rationing means pipes in the distribution network are alternately pressurised and depressurised, a cycle that creates specific and well-documented risks to water quality. Three Quality Risks Unique to Intermittent Supply 1. Back-siphonage and intrusion: When pressure drops to zero in a main, any breach in the pipe casing, a crack, a corroded joint, a leaking valve, can allow soil water or contaminated groundwater to be drawn in by negative pressure. When the main is re-pressurised, that intruded water is pushed to consumers. 2. Sediment mobilisation: Sediment settles in pipes during low-flow periods. The surge that accompanies re-pressurisation picks up and carries that settled sediment to taps, causing temporary elevated turbidity and the bacteria associated with it. 3. Stagnation in household storage tanks: During rationing periods, water stored in rooftop or underground tanks can stagnate. Bacterial counts in stored water increase significantly after 48–72 hours if the tank is not covered and regularly cleaned. Source: Intermittent water supply and contamination risk, Nation Africa; K24 Digital water coverage reports 2023. Practical Protective Measures Risk Protective Measure Notes Back-siphonage intrusion Flush tap 30–60 sec when supply resumes; use RO for drinking water Most effective combined approach Sediment surge Pre-filter installed at tank inlet; replace pre-filter after major turbidity events Protects tank and downstream system Tank stagnation Clean tank quarterly; keep covered with sealed lid; use within 48–72 hours Critical for households relying on storage Pressure surge damage Install pressure regulator on household inlet Protects appliances and joints The Case for Point-of-Use Treatment Because water quality in an intermittent supply system is inherently variable, it depends not just on treatment plant output but on the entire state of the distribution network, point-of-use treatment provides the most consistent protection. An RO system at your kitchen tap treats every litre regardless of what happened in the pipe network that day. Q: Why does my water sometimes smell like chlorine after rationing resumes? A: Utilities may increase chlorine dosing temporarily after re-pressurising a section of network to address bacterial contamination introduced during the low-pressure period. Carbon pre-filters in your RO system remove this taste and odour. Q: Should I empty my storage tank before rationing resumes? A: If your tank has been standing for more than 72 hours, drawing down to a low level before the fresh supply arrives reduces the volume of stagnant water mixed with fresh supply and speeds the turnover. Consistent quality, despite rationing schedules iClear's RO purifiers ensure your drinking water is safe regardless of what the distribution network delivers. Find out more.
