INTRODUCTION
The Drinking Water System M-550, uses combination of filtration technologies to reduce unwanted contaminations in water supply.
Refer to these below properties of the water system which provide the best and sparkling drinking water:
MECHANICAL FILTRATION/ACTIVATED CARBON
The Sediment/Carbon module is designed to reduce the larger
particles such as silt, rust and scale. Its 5 micron [equal to
0.0002" (0.0005 cm)] nominal rating helps to give maximum life to
the Membrane. The activated carbon in the module is designed
to reduce any chlorine that can be present in the Feed Water. This
pre-treatment is also necessary for the protection of membrane.
MEMBRANE
The Membrane is the heart of the filtration system. It is designed
to reduce the dissolved mineral content of the water. Minerals
picked up in the environment by the water are measured as Total
Dissolved Solids (TDS). In this process, dissolved minerals are
separated from the incoming water (Feed Water) to produce the
Product water (Permeate). The excess minerals are rinsed to drain
pipe (Reject Water).
The membrane is specially constructed, a fully aromatic
polyamide film and classified as Thin Film Composite (T.F.C).
The spiral wound structure of the Membrane provides maximum
surface area for water production and is less susceptible to
fouling by particulate matter, turbidity and colloidal materials.
ACTIVATED CARBON
The Activated Carbon module contains carbon particles with a
vast network of pores. The tremendous surface area of these
pores (typically 800-1200 g/m² of carbon) gives the carbon very
good adsorptive sites for substances that contribute to tastes and
odors.
IN-LINE ACTIVATED CARBON POST FILTER
The In-Line Activated Carbon Post Filter is located after the
Holding Tank and designed to reduce the tastes and odors that
can pass through the system. It adds a final polish to the water.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF VALVE
The Automatic Shut-Off (ASO) Valve closes the Feed Water
supply when Holding Tank is full and unit is not producing water.
This avoid excess Reject Water from entering into the drain.
