Answer: There is a percentage of water from a RO system that goes to the drain. This water is carrying away the impurities. These particles are too small to be caught by filters. Our RO systems have an automatic shut-off valve that shuts off the flow of water to the drain when the storage tank […]

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 […]

Answer: Background Most Reverse Osmosis owners are concerned about when to replace the filters on their RO system. A Pressure Gauge Kit will provide them with a heads-up as to when the filters are nearing depletion. How It Works 1) A pressure gauge kit will tell you the PSI of the water as it enters […]

Answer: Background Most Reverse Osmosis owners are concerned about when to replace the filters on their RO system. 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: A dual 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; 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: We recommend using what we refer to as a step-down, progressive system. The idea behind a step down micron rating system of filters is to provide for optimum pressure and longer filter life. The pre-filter micron rating required to optimize the life of a reverse osmosis membrane is five (5) micron (this is the […]

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 […]
