How our water systems work?
Purified Drinking Water
What is a Reverse osmosis?
Reverse osmosis drinking water systems use a membrane to remove contaminants from your drinking water. The water pressure in your home pushes incoming water through a series of filters and a special membrane to remove a large percentage of impurities. Reverse osmosis has the potential to remove total dissolved solids, bacteria, lead, nitrates and many more unwanted impurities in your drinking water.
-There are 5-stages to our reverse osmosis system
Stage 1: Sediment filter removes large particles from incoming water to protect membrane.
Stage 2: The carbon filter takes out chlorine and other organics from the water coming in. Carbon filters are used to stop chlorine from harming the membrane.
Stage 3: The membrane is the main filter of the system. It allows only pure water to pass through, while filtering out unwanted contaminants
Stage 4: The storage tank holds purified water so you always have clean refreshing drinking water at your disposal
Stage 5: Post filter removes leftover taste or odor after storage.
A reverse osmosis system can effectively remove contaminants, ensuring that your household has access to clean and purified water for various uses. A reverse osmosis system can potentially remove the following percentage of contaminants:
98% Sodium, 98% Calcium, 98% Magnesium, 97% Potassium, 98% Iron, 98% Manganese, 98% Aluminum, 95% Ammonium, 98% Copper, 98% Nickel, 99% Zinc, 98% Cadmium, 97% Mercury, 98% Lead, 95% Chloride, 95% Nitrate, 95% Flouride, 96% Silicate, 98% Phosphate, 97% Chromate, 95% Cyanide, 98% Thiosulfate, 96% Bromide, 98% Sulfate
Soft Water
WHAT IS A WATER SOFTENER?
A water softener is the best choice for protecting your fixtures and appliances from hard water. These systems use a high-tech method to take out calcium from your water. The process of ion exchange uses advanced resin to replace the magnesium and calcium ions that can build up on fixtures, appliances and plumbing, with ions that are more soluble in water. The result is soft water. A water softener using ion exchange is currently the only cost effective way to remove hardness from water.
What's the difference between a water softener and a conditioner?
A water softener and a water conditioner are not the same thing, as each serves a unique purpose in treating water. While both systems improve water quality, their methods and results differ significantly. A water conditioner modifies the hardness ions to make it less likely that they will build up on your appliances and fixtures. This reduces scale buildup but doesn't remove hardness ions. A water softener removes these ions through an ion exchange. Both technologies protect against hard water, but a water softener offers the best long-term protection.
