Answer: Perhaps the two most important considerations would be pore size and chlorine capacity. The smaller the pore size, the greater protection the carbon block offers you through your Whole House unit or your RO membrane. But remember the smaller the pore size the more impact the carbon block filter will have on your gpm […]
Answer: We offer a wide range of RO systems from two stage up to seven stage systems plus options within the given stages. To just sight an example, we offer over 30 different models of 5 stage RO systems. We build the Reverse Osmosis systems here in our facility in the USA, therefore we can […]
Answer: Three or Four Stage RO System The space required for a Reverse Osmosis system will vary with the type of model you will be purchasing. A 3 or 4 stage system will be approximately 14 inches wide, 7 inches deep and 14 to 17 inches tall. The height will vary depending upon the items […]
Answer: DI Cartridges and In-line DI Filters: Deionization removes ions (heavy metals or salts) dissolved into the water. RO membranes: Membranes remove bacteria, virus, metals, salts (ions). Carbon Filters: Carbon block filters absorb chlorine, chemicals and filter particulate matter. Sediment filters: Sediments filter out particulate matter only. The top quality water purification system is built […]
Answer: More carbon contact time, more chemical removal, better taste and odor removal. Is buying the three filter unit ‘worth’ the extra money? It is if your inlet water is really of very poor quality. It is if you want to protect your membrane. If your incoming water has a high chlorine content, the second […]
Answer: After you install a new filter (this is the case with all brands of filter cartridges) you should run it for a few minutes. Generally cloudy or white water indicates air in the line and this is natural and normal with the replacement of a filter cartridge. Air will enter in the housing, lines […]
Answer: RO systems are capable of removing certain biological contaminants such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The pore size of the RO membrane along with the amount of pressure applied to the water will generally determine the rate of reduction of such contaminants. The Water Quality Association (WQA) states, that while RO membranes are reliable for […]
Answer: No, they run on water pressure. You need electricity only if you add an electric pressure-boost pump to increase the system’s performance or an ultraviolet light to be certain that your water does not have any bacteria. Both of these items are options on most RO units and the decision to select options will […]
