about RO technology
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the reversal of the natural flow of osmosis. In water purification
systems, Reverse Osmosis is used to separate the salts and other heavy metals from pure
water.
What is Forbes Under Sink RO?
Forbes Under Sink RO is a domestic RO system that uses Reverse Osmosis to remove
TDS, lead, microbiological contaminants, heavy metals, etc. dissolved in water. The result
is pure, safe water that tastes good and is healthy to drink.
How do I know which purifier I need for my home/office?
Water treatment is like any other treatment of your health - you first need to know what's
wrong with your water, before you treat it. Forbes, the leader in water purification for 29
years, has a range of products using different technologies - ranging from RO, NF to UV
to UF.
Is RO better technology compared to Ultraviolet (UV)?
Different water quality needs different treatment technology. So if your water has microbial,
organic and physical contamination, a UV purifier is ideal. However, if your water, in
addition to the above, also contains TDS, heavy metals and other pollutants, you will
need to install a RO purifier. Both technologies are good and they each serve a
different purpose.
Why does the Forbes Under Sink RO need frequent cleaning/service?
The Forbes Under Sink RO is your family's protection against waterborne diseases. Its
various filters and the membrane cartridge inside your water purifier are constantly working
to remove/trap physical impurities, organic and inorganic contaminants, bacteria, viruses
and heavy metals, TDS, lead, arsenic, etc. and keep your family healthy. This is why your
purifier needs to be routinely cleaned and serviced.
How is Forbes Under Sink RO different from other RO purifiers in the market?
The Under Sink RO uses a multi-stage Reverse process to provide pure,
sweet tasting water. Its Unique Membrane Cleaning System ensures superior and effective
membrane performance. The purifier also has a powerful pump that delivers a high flow
rate, providing 8 litres of purified water in approx. 60 minutes with a storage capacity of
8 litres.
