REVERSE OSMOSIS

REVERSE OSMOSIS

The 4-Stage RO System begins with Stage 1, a 5-micron Sediment filter that traps particulate matter like dirt, rust, sand, silt and sediment that will affect the taste and appearance of your water.

Stage 2 is a 5-micron Carbon Block filter that provides a reduction of chlorine, chloramine and other materials that cause bad taste and odors (these are called PRE-filters because they filter in front of the reverse osmosis membrane).

Stage 3 is the heart of the reverse osmosis system, the RO Membrane. This semi-permeable membrane is 1/10,000 of a micron and will effectively reduce TDS (total dissolved solids), sodium and a wide range of contaminants such as arsenic, lead, perchlorate, chromium, copper and radium. It will also remove over 99.95% cysts such as giardia and cryptosporidium.

Stage 4 is a high quality GAC final filter (this is called a final filter because it filters after the membrane). The filtered RO water passes through the membrane and enters the storage tank. When you're ready for a taste, it will leave the storage tank and pass through this fourth stage on its way up to the faucet. The end result — crystal clear, high quality, and great tasting water!

Design of an RO system
Although the reverse osmosis process is simple, a complete water treatment system is often complex, mdepending on the quality of the incoming water before
treatment and the consumer’s needs. Most home RO systems are point-of-use (POU) units placed beneath the kitchen sink to treat water used for cooking and drinking. Point-of-entry (POE) systems that treat all the water entering the household are more expensive to purchase and operate than POU systems.

A typical home reverse osmosis system consists of pretreatment and post-treatment filters as well as the RO membrane, flow regulator, storage container for the treated water,
and dispensing faucet. The pressure for RO is usually supplied by the feed line pressure of the water system in the home, but abooster pump may be needed to produce an adequate
volume of treated water. A sediment pre-filter is essential for removing relatively large sand grains and silt that may tear or clog the RO membrane or clog a
pump or flow regulator. Water softeners are used in advance of the RO system when household water is excessively hard. If the water is chlorinated or contains
other oxidizing chemicals such as bromine, an activated carbon pre-filter is needed to protect membranes sensitive to these chemicals.
