This is a video that explains how we think you should change your RO filters. The video has examples of pre and post filters. Click here to learn more! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JrZ5HAHNM0&feature=plcp&context=C4eaab3dVDvjVQa1PpcFPLkphX87POjIcugVRTFToMMGtWW0yqGjw=
This is a quick look at what we offer for product and filter systems in a 4.5″ x 10″ Housing. Here is the link to watch the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOvCuAZsLEQ&feature=plcp&context=C4609c55VDvjVQa1PpcFPLkphX87POjLGgpGFf7Jk25ZNk1BSjlqc=
Answer; A triple Big Blue Whole House water filter system is a big unit , but it will also do a “Big Job”. This system is designed to achieve; 1) little or no impact on the flow 2) provide high quality water to the entire house 3) large filters provide extended life between filter changes […]
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: Filters are commonly described by the size of the pores in the material that makes up the given filter. This stated pore size is the maximum size particle that will flow through a filter. A micron is 1/1,000,000th of a meter or approximately 0.00004 inches. Manufacturers rate filters based upon this pore size, however […]
Answer: If you have a water softener, we would suggest that you place the Whole House System after the softener. It is best to let the softener remove the calcium and magn. out of the water prior to the water entering the Whole House filters. This will entend the life of your Whole House filters […]
Answer: Solid Carbon Block filters have combined the incredible adsorption capability of carbon, with the ability of a solid block of material to selectively strain out particles from water that is forced through it. The density of the carbon block determines how finely the water is cleaned. This type of filter is designed to prevent […]
Answer: Depending on the contaminants in your water, the difference could be like night and day. Sediment filters are designed to take out dirt particles. Sediment filters do not take out chemicals etc. The purpose of a sediment filter in a dual whole house is for the sediment to get the larger particles out so […]
Answer: The differences are primarily in the filters and sumps used. Cheap carbon filters use a couple of ounces of carbon sprayed on a wax like paper that is rolled up and covered in netting. There isn’t very much carbon present, hence a short effective life. Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters can channel. This is […]
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 […]
