• Q:

    What is the Reverse Osmosis system?

    A:

    Reverse Osmosis or RO for short, is a water filtration technology that uses semipermeable membranes to “block” larger particles and allow only clean water to pass through. Reverse Osmosis systems are among the most effective water purification technologies available on the consumer market . RO systems are both energy efficient and environmentally friendly compared to other filtration methods and bottled water alternatives.

  • Q:

    How does the Reverse Osmosis system work?

    A:

    Semipermeable membranes used in drinking water RO systems are polymer based and consist of many very thin sheets or layers of a material that with billions of tiny holes in it. Water molecules can pass through these holes, but salts, lead molecules and thousands of other impurities and toxins cannot pass. Using the natural water pressure of your home or office’s pipes, the RO system performs a multistage filtering of incoming polluted or impure water. At each stage impurities are removed starting with sediments and larger particles, and ending with the Reverse Osmosis membrane removing the smallest impurities such as salts and viruses that other filters have not filtered out.

  • Q:

    What is in your tap water?

    A:

    Depending on where your drinking water comes from, it may contain many different contaminants. Some we may know about some we may not know about. Nowadays, we use so many different chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, etc. These contaminants end up in our groundwater, rivers, lakes and wells and can cause harmful effects in human consumption. Frequently, when these chemicals are mixed together they create new, unknown chemicals. In most cases tests have not yet been developed to determine which chemicals are in your water ,and equally important, what the levels of contaminants are.

  • Q:

    Do I need Drinking Water Systems?

    A:

    Our bodies are over 70% water and in a typical day we use up to 8 to 12 cups or about 2.5 litres of water (in all forms) through normal bodily function. When we are exercising, or when the weather is unusually hot or particularly cold we will use more water. For this reason, it is important that we keep drinking to stay hydrated, and the best thing we can drink is healthy mineral-rich alkaline water.

  • Q:

    How effective is Reverse Osmosis filtration compared to other methods?

    A:

    RO is the most convenient and effective method of water filtration. It filters water by squeezing water through a semi-permeable membrane, which is rated at 0.0001 micron (equals to 0.00000004 inch!). This is the technology used to make bottled water, it is also the only technology capable of desalinating sea water, making it into drinking water. Non-RO water filters typically use a single activated carbon cartridge to treat water. They are much less effective, and the pore size on these filter media are much bigger, generally 0.5 - 10 micron. They can filter out coarse particles, sediments and elements only up to their micron rating. Anything finer and most dissolved substances cannot be filtered out. As a result, water is far less clean and safe compared to reverse osmosis filtration.

  • Q:

    Was my city's tap water safe to drink?

    A:

    Cities are in desperate need of replacement from old age and wear. Water contamination can occur at almost any point in the delivery channel including lead leaching from corroded pipe solder, bacteria entering the system from water main breaks, or gardening chemicals back-siphoned from a careless neighbor. Unfortunately, most local and state governments do not have the financial resources to address these very expensive problems now or in the foreseeable future. To make matters worse, most cities also add chemicals like chlorine and fluoride to their water. The truth is, tap water quality will most likely continue to decline in the coming years. The best way to protect your family from the increasingly wide range of contaminants found in today's tap water is by installing a reverse osmosis drinking water system.

  • Q:

    Why do I need a water softener?

    A:

    Hard water is water that is contaminated with dissolved minerals – like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, lead and limestone – that can have a negative impact on you, your household and your pocketbook. Depending on where you live, contaminants from sewage, industrial waste and agricultural run-off can also seep into your water supply.
