Answer: A CTA (Cellulose Triacetate) membrane is a paper by-product membrane bonded to a synthetic layer. Due to its cellulose composition, a CTA membrane requires chlorine in the water source to keep bacteria from forming on it. A CTA membrane has a rejection rate of between 85 – 94%. CTA membranes have an average life […]
Answer: Background Most Reverse Osmosis owners are concerned about when to replace the filters on their RO system. A Pressure Gauge will provide them with a heads-up as to when the filters are nearing depletion. What are the Benefits of using a Pressure Gauge Kit 1) Pressure drop on the gauge kit identifies when to […]

A Pressure Gauge Kit will provide them with a heads-up as to when the filters are nearing depletion. How do I Install this Pressure Gauge Kit Installation of a RO Pressure Gauge Kit is not difficult and […]
Answer: Background Most Reverse Osmosis owners are concerned about when to replace the filters on their RO system. A Pressure Gauge will provide them with a heads-up as to when the filters are nearing depletion. Most Reverse Osmosis pre-filters are replaced based on a time schedule. They mark the calendar to change the pre-filters every […]
Answer: These instructions are for the installation of a flow restrictor fitting (as a replacement or upgrading of Reverse Osmosis system capacity) into the membrane housing. The flow restrictor is installed into the drain port (outlet) on the membrane housing. Your membrane housing will have two ports on one end and only one port on […]
Answer: There are four types of flow restrictors being used by RO system manufacturers; 1) Inline Flow Restrictor, 2) Capillary Insert Flow Restrictor, 3) Fitting Connector Flow Restrictor Combo and 4) Integral Flow Restrictor. We will provide a brief description of each and give the strong features and weak features that each type offers. 1) […]
Answer: Several of the Reverse Osmosis systems that we offer have the Booster Pump installed and the plumbing is complete, these RO systems do not require you to do additional plumbing or installation. If you are adding a Booster Pump to your existing Reverse Osmosis system, below is an outline of the steps for you […]
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 […]
