YES, RO systems work on hard water, but hard water does shorten the life span of the membranes. Membranes typically last over 5 years, but on hard water life cycle may be decreased 2-3 years.

Our RO systems come standard with a membrane that produces about 50 gallons of purified water per day. An upgrade is available at a relatively low cost which allows you to boost production to 100 gallons per day. The upgrade kit includes a larger membrane and housing and a larger storage tank (20 gallons). The actual amount of water produced in your home will depend on your household water pressure.

NO RO can not remove the sand iron in water, it required special pre-treatment for high sand iron contents. However, RO physically removes some amount of turbidity and physical impurities.

You lost air pressure in the tank. RO tanks have a bladder in them with an 8 psi (55.2 kPa) air charge. Once all the water is removed from the tank, adjust the pressure to 8 psi (55.2 kPa). This can be done using a bicycle pump or air compressor.

Many use the word "pure" and many books have been written on the subject. Purified water is a term that has little meaning unless additional qualifiers are added. Such as: salt free, bacteria free, etc. Distilled water is probably as close to "pure" as water can get. It is made by evaporation and removal of all solid particles plus dissolved materials. Purified water by the reverse osmosis method means that the original water has reduced mineral content.

YES! Reverse Osmosis was originally designed R.O. make sea water drinkable for the navy. It is ideal for anyone on a low sodium diet. YES! An R.O. membrane has a pore size much smaller than bacteria virus, pyrogen microorganisms from tap water and produce sterile water.

Yes. R.O. water is softened through the reverse osmosis purification process; however hard water (above 7 grains of hardness) will shorten the life of the membrane. The harder the water, the shorter the life. Example: If you incoming water is 15 grains hard, you may only get 2-3 years of life from your membrane.

Water is considered hard if it contains calcium and magnesium. Both are common elements found in water. According to the Water Quality Association, hard water is water that has hardness minerals in excess of 1 grain per gallon (gpg). Most water supplies range from 3 to 50 gpg. Following are relative levels of hardness: If left untreated hard water will form scaling in water heaters, pipes, boilers, air conditioners, etc.

Yes you can. Mineral buildup is a problem where the water is heated, i.e. in the tank. The water is being cooled in the tubing so mineral buildup is not possible in the tubing. Mineral buildup in the tank can be minimized by using a powerful heater so that you can have low operating temperatures. Mineral buildup is not likely at temperatures below 1400 F.

Absolutely! The Desert Spring has originally designed to tackle the hard water conditions found in Calgary, Alberta, Canada! The unique disc assembly is designed to self clean on each rotation through the reservoir, causing the vast majority of minerals to settle in the basin rather than accumulating on the evaporative surfaces. This allows the Desert Spring to maintain its peak efficiency on a continuous basis.

Distilled water is boiled and the steam condensed for drinking water. Distilled water contains practically no minerals or dissolved solids, whereas RO water does contain trace amount of minerals and salts. Most people report RO as testing better than distilled water, which can taste flat. Distillers use electricity whereas RO's work on line pressure from the household plumbing (Except for commercial and industrial RO Systems, which use pumps)and require no electricity.

Mineral Water which is made absolutely free from minerals or salts and then, minerals or salts are added in required proportion as per the standards i.e. BIS or WHO. RO Water can not be called mineral water because the salts or minerals are not dosed in it but are maintained by the rejection level of particular membrane. RO WATER IS EQUIVALENT TO PACKAGED DRINKING WATER. RO.system removes approx. 90-95% of dissolved minerals and chemicals from the water and R.O.

YES an RO system will worn on bore well water provided that you do not have high levels of Iron / arsenic in your water. Special problems such as Iron and hydrogen sulfide / arsenic require additional removal processes

Most likely you need to double-check the installation for any blockage due to lodged food or miscellaneous debris: b.) Check for blockage at the drain stand pipe by unscrewing the 3/8" black line that is connected to it. Clear opening to drain stand, making certain 3/8" black tubing is also clear.

First, once you acquire a taste for RO water, it will be hard for you to drink anything else! Your children will drink more, and even your pets will enjoy the fresh taste. Use it to make coffee and tea, wash vegetables, boil pasta, fill the iron for ironing clothes... anything that would benefit from the use of clean , pure water.

Commercially made ice is stirred as it is frozen; household ice is not. Without mixing, many more ice crystals form, and air is trapped in the ice. Light rays are distorted by these crystals and air bubbles, thus giving home-frozen ice a cloudy appearance. To minimize the cloudy appearance, fill your ice cube trays with RO water, let them stand on the counter for 10 minutes or so, and place in the freezer. Your ice cubes will be noticeably clearer, harder and better tasting!
