Did
you know?
Reverse osmosis is the finest water filtration method known. This process will
allow the removal of particles as small as ions from a solution. It is used
to purify water and remove salts and other impurities in order to improve the
color, taste or properties of the fluid. R.O. uses a membrane that is semi-permeable,
allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting
other ions and contaminants from passing. This technology uses a process
known as crossflow to allow the r.o. membrane to continually clean itself. This
is the reason of why an r.o. element can last many years before clogging or
need replacement. This
water purification process requires a driving force to push the fluid through
the membrane, and the most common force is household water pressure or pressure
from a booster pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving force and
efficiency.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON
DECHLORINATING FILTERS
How long
will a dechlorinating filter operate?
With
a bad iron problem, it may be necessary to service the filter frequently
due to the clogging of the filter with precipitated iron. When neither
iron or sulfur is present, a filter continues to operate for long periods
of time. How long depends on the amount of turbidity in the water and
the design of the unit. With reasonably clear water, a dechlorinating
filter should be good for 20,000 gallons of water, more than the average
household uses for cooking and drinking in a year.
How
can you service a dechlorinator?
Some units can be backwashed.
Others are so designed that the homeowner can remove the filter from the
container and hose it off. Still others are disposable units.
Typical layout of superchlorination-dechlorination
equipment on a private water system. With dechlorinator on main water
line, this arrangement can be used where iron and/or manganese are present
in the water.
What happens when a dechlorinator
ceases to operate?
The homeowner quickly knows his unit is not working because he will taste chlorine
in the water, or the pressure drop will become excessive due to plugging
by turbidity. He should then backwash or replace the filter.
According
to recent news and reports, most tap and well water in the U.S. are not
safe for drinking due to heavy industrial and environmental pollution.
Toxic bacteria, chemicals and heavy metals routinely penetrate and pollute
our natural water sources making people sick while exposing them to long
term health consequences such as liver damage, cancer and other serious
conditions. We have reached the point where all sources of our drinking
water, including municipal water systems, wells, lakes, rivers, and even
glaciers, contain some level of contamination. Even some brands of bottled
water have been found to contain high levels of contaminants in addition
to plastics chemical leaching from the bottle.
A good water
filtration system installed in your home is the only way to proactively
monitor and ensure the quality and safety of your drinking water. Reverse
osmosis water purification systems can remove 90-99% of all contaminants
from city and well water to deliver healthy drinking water for you and
your family.
