A documentation-based review of the manufacturer’s listing and specifications. How we reviewed it
Our assessment
The SHARP Ultrafiltration Bottleless Water Cooler belongs on a comparison list when its documented application matches your needs. The important next step is to verify the configuration and compatibility, rather than deciding from the product photograph alone.
What the listing gives you
Configuration choices are documented
Premium: Stand & Cup Holder: Yes, No
Supporting documents are available
The manufacturer links technical or installation documents. We have kept those references with the product research below.
Identifiable part numbers
CQP-WC-05902, CQE-WC-00909. These are useful for asking the manufacturer about an exact configuration.
What deserves a closer look
Fit comes first
Check the exact connection type, available space, operating conditions and replacement cartridge before deciding.
Look beyond the listed price
Compare cartridge costs and replacement intervals as well as the equipment price. Confirm performance documentation for the exact configuration.
Compare the same configuration
The source lists 2 configurations. Use the model and part-number table below so that a size, package or optional component is not mistaken for a different specification.
These are our reading of the published information and our buying considerations. They are not measured performance results.
The specifications, in context.
Values below are published by Crystal Quest. Specifications may describe different configurations; read the model labels and compare the complete source tables in the reference section.

Product overviewManufacturer material
UltraFiltration (UF)
What is UF? In the UF process, a fine membrane (.02 micron) partially addresses micro-organisms without wastewater to lower the Total Suspended Solids.
If you don’t have the additional RO membrane system, some TSS will be left behind. To eliminate a majority of TSS, a Reverse Osmosis membrane is suggested.
Do I Need Reverse Osmosis? (RO)
UltraFiltration acts as the pre-treatment for the next stage of the even finer RO Treatment. RO is a water purification technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove larger particles & an array of contaminants. Similar to UF, although RO uses a different membrane. When water goes through the RO Membrane, leftover water hardness & contaminants that are too big to go through the UF & RO membrane will wash out through your drain line. (In the back of the water cooler, the system will connect to your kitchen drain for the wastewater.) The initial UF membrane is to help reduce the amount of Total Suspended Solids before the RO Treatment so less strain is put on the RO membrane. Read more about the membrane HERE.
