Info: Several Faucet, Filtration, or Splitting Upgrade Options Available for Select Systems
Several types of replacement parts or upgrades for many of the OPUS point-of-use water filtration system are available here*, including two types of additional filters to purify untreated water, and an upgraded faucet and a matching sink faucet.
* (Unless one aspect of them such as a UV filter already comes standard with the machine, in which case, it may not be possible to do, or there may be an additional $150 cost to cover a customized design.)
The John Guest Union "T" allows you to attach either a second tap or a refrigerator to your system. Extra tubing may be purchased at $1.00 per foot; please contact one of our staff at Aviva for further details on this option.
The first two items are both more apt to be used with a CottagePure system.
The purpose of the Saddle Valve option is to connect a copper cold water pipe to the 1/4" diameter LLDPE tubing.
The End Cap and Sleeve for the CottagePure UV bulb are for those systems with a 6-watt Korean UV bulb. They only need to be replaced if part of this assembly gets broken on your system; they do not include a bulb.
For the three remaining items, their pricing here is based on concurrent purchase of an OPUS water filtration system, for those systems which list a Nanofilter or UV Filter as upgrade options in their installation guides. The four types of upgrades on offer here are as follows:
1) To purify unsafe water such as water drawn from a lake which can be prone to E. coli, choose a germicidal ultraviolet water purification filter add-on (please note: it requires an AC electrical power source). (Replacement UV bulbs are also available, separately.)
2) If your water source is already treated to start with, for more peace of mind in case your municipality's water treatment system either misses some things or has a temporary breakdown, choose an additional .01 micron nanofiltration filter, to avoid the inconvenience of a boil water advisory. It blocks protozoa (such as cryptosporidium or giardia), bacteria (campylobacter, salmonella, shigella, E. coli), and viruses (enteric, hepatitis A, norovirus, rotavirus), and can also remove over 85% of pharmaceutical drugs which have may found their way into your water supply.
3) Faucet replacement and upgrade options include:
- the standard one which ordinarily comes with the OPUS systems, which has a matte, brushed nickel surface (it is shown both in the inset photo below and being held in place on the right side of one the main product photos, which show all three of these together (the two other are actually installed in the sink in the middle of our store)) ;
- a somewhat larger one designer faucet as an upgrade for an OPUS system, that features chrome plating, an NSF-certified forged brass ceramic disk mechanism, lead-free plastic water passages and a brass gooseneck spout; or,
- a much larger chrome-plated NSF-certified Grohe Concetto designer faucet (the tallest one, on the left of the photo) which matches both of the previous item in overall appearance, to replace your existing kitchen faucet at the same time to make a matched set. This model features a shower head with two different spray types (a fine spray jet or a more powerful shower jet), attached to a flexible internal hose which can be pulled-out by as much as a foot to rinse the sides of the sink or to fill things outside it.
Any of these faucets' designs can match well with nearly any kitchen decor. The larger chrome-plated Forged Brass Ceramic Polished Chrome Designer Faucet features lead-free plastic water passages and brass gooseneck spouts that swivel 360 degrees, and the smaller one is very similar, except it has a Brushed Nickel surface. Value has never looked so good!

Should you wish to purchase parts separately to enhance an existing system, or make a special order, please contact one of our helpful staff toll free at (866) 947-6789 (or at (204) 947-6789 within Winnipeg) to discuss how or whether to proceed.
Ultraviolet purification is already included in the OPUS CottagePure system, so the first type of upgrade would not apply to that model. (To order ultraviolet purification options for a Whole House system, please see our OPUS - Whole House UV-C Sterilization Unit page.)
* E.g., to add a Nanofilter to a CottagePure, or to customize other systems with substitute or additional filters or to tailor make a new system, an additional $150 fee would be incurred to cover the costs of the installation, design, and new documentation for the installation guide.
