Features
of the RO are:
The main stages of the RO are:-
1. 5 Micron filter - to remove any fine particles
within the water supply.
2. Carbon filter - the water passes through a carbon
block/sediment filter to protect the membrane from
any chlorine that may be present.
3. Reverse Osmosis - This is the heart of the system.
The membrane rejects approximately 95% of all impurities
and contaminants from the water, using only mains
pressure, and rejects them to the drain, providing
quality pure water any time day or night.
4. Polishing filter - This final filter reduces
unwanted tastes and odours and "polishes"
the water to give that bottled water taste direct
from the tap.
Clean drinking water
Around 2% of water supplied to a household
is used for drinking and cooking. Tap water supplied
by municipal companies has to be 'fit for drinking'
and is regulated under law. Even so, tap water varies
from region to region, with taste, chemical composition
and appearance leading many people to spend extra
money on bottled water.
Your water contains Chlorine and can
have a variety of dissolved minerals and metals,
including iron, Nitrates, Chlorides and sodium.
The water picks up most of these as it falls as
rain on the land, and some (in particular Chlorine)
are added by the water companies.
Reverse Osmosis is the optimum way
to rid water of these impurities. The RO system
will remove approximately 95% of the contaminants
in water, such as Chlorine, lead, fluorides, bacteria,
viruses and unpleasant tastes and odours, and provide
you with water 'as nature intended' direct from
the tap. No more expensive bottled water required!
The system works by filtering the
water, using mains pressure, through a semi permeable
membrane that rejects all the impurities, and flushes
them to drain. The pure water is then stored in
the tank and provides you with quality water, day
or night.
