Reverse osmosis, often referred to as RO, is an advanced water purification method that was initially developed by the U.S. Navy to produce drinking water from seawater for submarine crews. It is a membrane filtration technology that works by forcing water under pressure through the very tiny pores of a semi-permeable membrane. Modern RO units for the home combine membrane technology with carbon and mechanical filtration to produce highly purified, great-tasting water.

RO water is just as good—or even better—than bottled water. AURA CEBILON systems use the same reverse osmosis (RO) technology employed by major bottling plants, delivering clean, refreshing water with a touch of minerals for natural taste—unlike the flat flavor of distilled or stored bottled water. By purifying water daily at home, your drinking water is fresher and healthier than bottled water, which may have been sitting in plastic containers for months and contain thousands of microplastics.

Our Cebilon RO systems ensures a complete and stable purification process, giving you full control over water quality and performance—something bottled water cannot offer. Plus, this eco-friendly solution helps reduce plastic waste, meaning RO users never need to rely on bottled water again.

When it comes to truly clean drinking water, reverse osmosis (RO) is the most effective solution. Unlike standard filters, RO removes harmful microorganisms—like Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Salmonella, E. coli, and Norovirus—as well as chemical impurities such as lead, copper, sodium, and chloride. Systems that don’t use RO technology cannot remove these contaminants and micro plastics, leaving your water less safe.

Since RO also removes some beneficial minerals, the water can be slightly acidic. That’s why AURA CEBILON RO systems include an alkaline remineralization filter, restoring essential minerals like magnesium and calcium and balancing the pH. The result? Water that is not only pure and safe but also smooth, refreshing, and naturally delicious.

AURA CEBILON water filters are proudly manufactured by IHEVA, a subsidiary of İhlas Holding, headquartered in Istanbul, Türkiye. With over 40 years of experience, IHEVA specializes in designing and producing high-quality water solutions for both residential and commercial use. The company is recognized for its commitment to innovation, rigorous quality control, and reliable performance, serving customers in over 30 countries worldwide.

The lifespan of filters and membranes depends primarily on your water usage and the quality of your water source. In reverse osmosis systems, filters typically need to be replaced every 6 to 12 months, while RO membranes generally last 2 to 3 years. For water sources with average hardness, filter replacements are usually required every 6 to 12 months, and membranes can be expected to function effectively for at least 2 years.

Absolutely!

AURA CEBILON Reverse Osmosis Systems are designed for easy DIY installation, and many customers have successfully set up their units on their own. However, we recommend hiring a professional plumber with experience in installing and flushing RO systems to ensure optimal performance and avoid potential issues.

A home RO unit does use some water to clean itself and flush away impurities, similar to many household appliances. While it uses more water during operation than what you actually drink, the amount is minimal and has little to no impact on your water bill. The RO unit only consumes water while filling its storage tank. Once the tank is full, the system automatically shuts off, and no additional water goes to the drain—roughly equivalent to two or three extra toilet flushes per day.
