Overview

About the Thirst RO — Thrive™ Enhanced Alkaline System

The Thirst RO Thrive is our premium reverse osmosis system, delivering enhanced alkaline water with optimized mineral balance and eco-efficient purification. It builds on the 5-stage RO platform with an advanced remineralization stage that produces mineral-rich water with a balanced, elevated pH. Designed for health-conscious households that want the highest quality drinking water available — purer than bottled, enriched with beneficial minerals, and produced sustainably without plastic waste.

How It Works

Enhanced alkaline purification

The Thrive uses the same 5-stage RO purification as the Pure and Restore, then passes water through an enhanced alkaline mineral cartridge with a broader spectrum of trace minerals. The result is water with a more complex mineral profile, a higher stable pH, and improved antioxidant potential. The system also features an eco-efficient design that produces less wastewater than standard RO systems.

Included on all RO installs, the FLOWLOK Leak Detector is an innovative device that installs right below your RO water filtration system. Once the safety disc has detected water it expands and trips the FLOWLOK safety lever to shut off the water entering the water filtration device. Safety discs are replaceable and are economical.

Why choose the Thirst RO Thrive

The Thrive is for households that view their drinking water as a health investment, not just a utility. Its enhanced remineralization stage produces water with a richer mineral profile and higher pH than the Restore, while its eco-efficient design reduces the wastewater ratio compared to standard RO systems. If you want the best drinking water technology available for your home — purification plus enhancement plus sustainability — the Thrive delivers on all three.

Premium hydration for Arizona's active lifestyles

Arizona's outdoor lifestyle means families here need optimal hydration. The Thrive's mineral-rich alkaline water supports active lifestyles with enhanced mineral content and balanced pH. And its eco-efficient design is particularly relevant in Arizona, where every gallon matters — the Thrive wastes less water during purification than standard RO systems, a meaningful benefit in a state where water conservation is a daily priority.

Ideal For

Health-conscious families who prioritize water quality

Active households with athletes or outdoor enthusiasts

Environmentally conscious homeowners (reduced wastewater)

Anyone who wants the premium tier of home water purification

Just got an RO system installed by Shawn Parkes and I’m so happy I went with Clear Water for the install! He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Would absolutely recommend Shawn and Clear Water to anybody in the San Tan Valley area looking for RO or other water solutions.

I cannot say enough good things about Clear Water Concepts/Absolute Osmosis! We live in North Tucson, where the water is extremely hard, so we shopped around and looked at several different companies before making our decision. Our sales representative, Moses, was excellent. He took the time to explain all of our options and discuss the different types of systems available on the market so that we could make a truly informed decision. At no time did we feel pressured to purchase anything, unlike some of the other companies we considered. The installation was exceptional as well. If you live in Tucson or surrounding area, ask for Mike as your installer! He has years of experience and took his time to make sure everything was done perfectly. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a plumber use a bubble level before—but Mike made sure every pipe was precisely level and professionally installed. He also carefully sealed any wall penetrations that were necessary and left the work area cleaner than it was when he arrived. After the installation, Mike took the time to thoroughly walk us through both our water softener and reverse osmosis systems to make sure we understood how everything worked. If you are looking for a stress-free experience purchasing and installing a water softener and/or reverse osmosis system, I highly recommend Clear Water Concepts/Absolute Osmosis. From the sales process to the installation, the entire experience was outstanding!

Jared was very conscientious and professional. He checked our reverse osmosis system and changed the filter. He advised us what to watch for and how to prolong the useful life of our system. Thank you Jared.

My reverse osmosis needed to be replaced. Clearwater had been changing the cartridges in the RO system, and when I called, they came out to inspect, and recommended a new unit based on the current condition of mine. I got a quote right away with discounts that they applied because I’ve been their customer in the past. The work then got scheduled. Mike showed up right on time and completed the installation in no time at all, very professional he was. Cleaned up after himself and put it in a position under the sink that made the area more usable. I was very happy and satisfied with the work that was done. And definitely recommend Clearwater.
