What is Reverse Osmosis?

Reverse osmosis is a complicated process which uses a membrane under pressure to separate relatively pure water (or other solvent) from a less pure solution. When two aqueous solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water passes through the membrane in the direction of the more concentrated solution as a result of osmotic pressure. If enough counter pressure is applied to the concentrated solution to overcome the osmotic pressure, the flow of water will be reversed.

Water molecules can form hydrogen bonds in the reverse osmosis membrane and fit into the membrane matrix. The water molecules that enter the membrane by hydrogen bonding can be pushed through under pressure. Most organic substances with a molecular weight over 100 are sieved out, i.e., oils, pyrogens and particulates including bacteria and viruses.

Salt ions, on the other hand, are rejected by a mechanism related to the valence of the ion. Ions are repelled by dielectric interactions; ions with higher charges are repelled to a greater distance from the membrane surface. The nominal rejection ratio of common ionic salts is 85 – 98%.

Five Stage Process

Five Stage Process

Water is put through five different filters so you can trust your drinking water.

Stage 1

Stage 1

5 Micron Sediment Filter | Effective in removing dirt, rust and sand particles

Stage 2

Stage 2

GAC Carbon Filter |Enhanced reduction of taste, odor and colour

Stage 3

Stage 3

CTO Carbon Filter | Removes 99% of chlorine and organic materials

Stage 4

Stage 4

TFC Membrane | Removes hard water contaminants

Stage 5

Stage 5

Post Carbon Filter | Removes objectionable tastes and odors

Instructions for commissioning

  1. With everything connected, turn on the water and check for leaks.
  2. Make sure the storage tank shut-off valve is “OFF”. Open the sink faucet.
  3. Within a few minutes (up to 15mins) the water will start to run from the faucet slowly.
  4. Let the water run for at least 30 minutes. This flushes the carbon filters on first time use
  5. After initial flushing, open the shut-off valve on the tank and close the faucet.
  6. Tank will now fill with water, usually up to 10 hours. After the tank has filled open the faucet and drain all water until the storage tank is empty and there is only a small flow from the faucet.
  7. ***DO NOT USE FIRST TANK OF WATER***
  8. Close the faucet. The System will be ready for use when the tank is charged.
  9. Life span of the filters will be dependent on the quality of water that you draw from. It is recommended that the complete filter change be done every 5 years if on town or clear tank water and every 12 months if using brackish or sea water.
  10. The working life of the filters is dependent upon the days / hours of usage where there is water drawn from the filters. Filter life is non-dependent on a yearly term except for the 5 -year recommended total filter change.
