The Reverse Osmosis process, also known as hyper
filtration, is the finest filtration process known till date. The
process ensures the reduction of particles as small as ions
from a solution. Reverse Osmosis uses a semi-permeable
membrane to reduce salts from potable / brackish water. In
Reverse Osmosis, water pressure applied to the concen-
trated side forces the process of osmosis into reverse.
Under enough pressure, treated water is "squeezed"
through the membrane from the concentrated side to the
diluted side. Salts dissolved in water as charged ions are
repelled by the RO membrane. The rejected impurities on
the concentrated side of the membrane are washed away in
a stream of waste water, and thus do not get accumulated
as in a traditional filter.

UV Process
The UV light has shor ter wavelength (higher energy) than the visible light. It is called ultra-violet because
it is just beyond the violet light in the light spectrum. Technically, the ultra-violet light is defined to be any
wavelength of light, which is shor ter than 400 nanometer.
UV rays, which penetrate into the micro-organisms, are absorbed by the DNA of the pathogen in the
water. The DNA is altered in such a way that the pathogen cannot reproduce. Thus, they are essentially
killed and cannot cause infection. This process of DNA modification is called inactivation.
The purpose of the Auto-flushing system is to help prevent scaling or fouling of the RO
membrane by providing a rapid rinse which washes away impurities from the membrane's
surface and keeps the membrane clean. It offers following benefits.
• Lowers rejected water outflow
• Improves "TDS" rejection rate i.e increases RO membrane efficiency
• Extends life of RO membrane

Note:
The purified water stored in the tank is disinfected using UV LED, which automatically switches on
for 30 minutes in a two hour cycle.
