Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis (R.O.) is one of the most convenient and economical methods of reducing unwanted contaminants in your drinking water. Reverse osmosis is the process by which water molecules are forced by water pressure through a semi-permeable membrane. Most of the impurities and other contaminants are rinsed to the drain while the refined water is routed to a special holding tank.

We sell the following reverse osmosis products:

A reverse osmosis drinking water purifier removes most harmful chemicals and pollutants; removes undesirable tastes, odors and color; and it is more convenient than bottled water at a lower cost. It significantly reduces chlorine, bacteria, sodium, trihalomethanes (which is a known cancer-causing agent that is found in chlorinated water).

Some of the uses for reverse osmosis systems are: drinking water; ice cubes (they do not have a yellow tint to them); coffees, teas, juices; baby formula; low sodium diets; health diets; aquariums; bottled water; cooking; fresh fruits and vegetables; steam irons; plants.

TFC (Thin Film Composite)
This long-life membrane is for non-chlorinated water supplies. TFC is extremely chlorine-sensitive. A carbon filter must precede the RO element if used on chlorinated supplies. These membranes will yeild 10-18 GPD of product water. (For use in areas of high TDS.)

CTA (Cellulose Triacetate)
Consistantly high quality CTA membrane may be used for both chlorinated and non-chlorinated water supplies.
