Reduce Your Reverse Osmosis Waste Water
By
Waste water can be a really, really big deal with Reverse Osmosis systems. The ratio of 3 or 4 gallons of water (or more) to make 1 gallon of purified water turns off many folks from purchasing Reverse Osmosis systems and it is concerning to those who own a Reverse Osmosis unit. The amount of waste water depends on several factors including incoming water pressure, incoming water temperature, membrane efficiency and the contamination level (TDS – Total Dissolved Solids) in your incoming water.Waste water is obviously a concern for many folks on municipal water because of cost and it is also a concern for those with a septic tank system because too much waste water will cause the tank to fill quickly.
Reduce Waste – No Electricity
A Permeate Pump will drastically reduce Reverse Osmosis system waste water by up to 80%. This inline pump relies only on hydraulic energy in the drain water (brine) that usually goes down the drain, there is no electricity required. A Permeate Pump forces pure water into the storage tank and this action reduces the membrane back pressure and increases the feed pressure going into the RO membrane. This results in increased membrane efficiency and it increases the life of the RO membrane plus it reduces waste water by up to 8o%.
