Reverse Osmosis System
For Drinking Water Treatment
How does it work?
Step 1. Water enters an inline pre-filter which is aimed to reduce sediment particles and chlorine.
Step 2. It is then forced through the RO’s semipermeable membrane, separating nitrates, lead, and other dissolved solids to a sub micron level. Impurities that stay behind and are flushed out to the drain as fresh water exits the RO membrane.
Step 3. Water is then processed through a post-carbon filter, designed to improve taste and odor.
Step 4. Because RO systems produce pure water at 24 gal/day, a 4 gal. water storage tank is installed for on demand use.
Step 5. If well water is the main supply, then a small UV light is lastly installed for water to be disinfected before dispensed out to a dedicated kitchen faucet.
Maintenance requires changing the filters and UV bulb every year and every 5 years for the RO membrane.
