HOW DOES THE RO FILTER WORK?
The water passes through several filters, each representing a stage. STAGE ONE : Water enters the filter through a micron sediment prefilter. This removes small particulates, bacteria, cysts, spores and grains of sand. STAGE TWO : The water then passes into the carbon prefilter. This removes chlorine, toxins and chemical impurities along with any pipe cleaning additives used by the water department. It is crucial that a high quality carbon block is used for this stage. The best carbon blocks available today are capable of removing chloramines, a mix of chlorine and ammonia that many municipal water suppliers now use as disinfecting agents in tap water supplies. A reverse osmosis filter is only as good as the components making up the system. Osmotic reverse osmosis filters use the highest quality components available. STAGE THREE : Next the water passes through the membrane to complete the filtering process. There are numerous grades and types of membranes available. TFC membranes are t
