The 5-μm sediment filter removes the materials and particles floating in
the water. The activated carbon granulate filter (GAC) filters out organic
materials and unwanted odors. The 1-μm sediment filter removes the rest
of the particles to ensure the correct functioning of the membrane.
The membrane is where the phenomenon of reverse osmosis occurs.
This component consists of a partially permeable material which is wound
in a spiral around the clean water (permeate) collecting pipe. Water that
cannot penetrate the partially permeable membrane is discharged
through the waste water pipe.
