Reverse osmosis was originally designed to make sea water drinkable for the
navy. It is ideal for anyone on a low sodium diet. An R.O. membrane has a pore
size much smaller than bacteria virus, or the cryptosporidium parasite. When
functioning properly it will remove all microorganisms from tap water and produce
sterile water. Reverse osmosis is the reversal of the natural flow of osmosis. In a
water purification system, the goal is not to dilute the salt solution, but to
separate the pure water from the salt and other contaminants. When the natural
osmotic flow is reversed, water from the salt solution is forced to pass through the
membrane in the opposite direction by application of pressure-thus the term
REVERSE OSMOSIS. Through this process, we are able to produce pure water
by screening out the salts and other contaminants.

Q: How will the Pure-Pro series water affect mixed beverages?
Because reverse osmosis removes invisible contaminants that mask flavor, it
allows the natural taste of your beverages to come through. You will be able to
use less coffee and still get the full flavor. Concentrated beverages like orange
juice will taste tangier. You will probably be drinking a lot more water as well,
since many people drink soda, Kool-Aid, concentrated juices, and beer as an
alternative to bad-tasting tap water. Also, Pure-Pro eliminates most of the lime
build up on drip coffee makers, preventing the need for frequent cleaning. No
longer will you find the white scum on the inside of pans after boiling water.
Q: How much water does the Pure-Pro system produce ?
Q: Don't people need minerals removed from the water ?
Q: What is the maintenance schedule for the Pure-Pro System ?
Under ideal conditions, the RE1812-70 TFC membrane is rated at 70gallons of
production per day (70gpd at 60psi, 95gpd at 100psi). Under the average
conditions, the consumer can expect 70-95 gallons of product water per day. But
that's still a lot of water for the average household's drinking and cooking
requirements.
Most of the minerals that we receive are from the foods we eat. Only a very
small percentage comes from the water we drink.
The three pre-filter cartridges should be changed every 6 months. The 5 micron
sediment cartridge filter is the first one; the second is a carbon cartridge filter,
and the third one is a 1 micron sediment filters. (some systems comes with the
Extruded carbon filter.) Failure to change the cartridge every 6 months may
cause chlorine to destroy the membrane.
