Answer: There are many benefits to installing a Reverse Osmosis system beyond greatly reduced concentrations of contaminants. Cleaner, sparkling drinking water is probably the most noticeable. Because there is little to alter the RO-treated water’s natural state, the flavor of food can come though without any “chemical” taste. Brewed items such as coffee, tea, or […]
Background Some folks claim that Reverse Osmosis (RO) water is unnatural water and too pure and clean to drink. They go on to say that such clean mineral free water does not exist naturally on earth. However, this type of water does exist and it is called RAINWATER. Rainwater Rainwater has been stripped of all […]
Background Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a revolutionary water technology that was first developed in the late 1950’s by the Government as a method of desalinating sea water for the Navy. Today this technology has earned its rightful status as the most convenient and thorough method to produce contaminant free clean water. The road to the […]
Answer: Soon everyone will know the benefits of Reverse Osmosis . Reverse Osmosis equipment has only been manufactured for the household consumer for just a few years. Until recently, it was used primarily by major corporations and the U.S. Government for purifying non-potable water supplies throughout the world. It was, and still is, used on […]
ANSWER: There are four major variables to consider: 1. PRESSURE. The greater the water pressure, the better the quantity and quality of the water produced. Water pressure of 60 psi is ideal. To maintain a constant 60 PSI you should consider including a booster pump. It is the pressure of water that forces the water […]
Answer: YES! RO water is perfectly safe to drink. There is also a scientific explanation as to why RO water is actually better for you than water that contains high mineral (TDS) content. Water with a high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) counts , actually become electrically charged and can conduct very small amounts of electric […]
Answer: In modern home RO systems, water driven by normal city water pressure, flows first through a sediment pre-filter which removes dirt and small particles that are in the water, next a carbon block pre-filter, removes organic contaminants including chlorine and its by-products. Then, it enters the reverse osmosis membrane, a very tight, sheet-like filter, […]
Background Reverse osmosis deionization units (RO/DI) are essential in the successful management of a reef tank. These units provide ultra pure water for a stable, predictable reef environment. The purified water allows the reef aquarist to determine and add only the essential trace elements and other essential nutrients to the water without any other unwanted […]
Opening Comments Waste water is a necessary by-product of a Reverse Osmosis water purification system. The highest quality Reverse Osmosis systems will make 3 to 4 gallons of waste water brine for every one gallon of purified water. Lesser quality Reverse Osmosis systems can send 8 gallons or more of waste water to the drain. […]
