Hard water, which contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, is present in nearly 90 percent of American homes. These minerals cause scaling, leading to buildup that clogs waterlines and plumbing, forcing appliances to work harder and operate less efficiently. Hard water often leaves a white residue wherever water evaporates. Additionally, when hardness reacts with soaps and detergents, it creates a sticky soap scum.
Installing a water softener will eliminate hard water problems in your home. Contact us today for a professional water test to identify hardness and other contaminants. Our experts will recommend the best solution for your needs.
Most (RO) systems developed for use in residential applications involve processing the water through several stages of filtration to produce high-quality drinking water. There are several systems that may have anywhere from 3-stage filtration up to 6+ stage filtration. Most systems involve multiple filters that include 5-micron sediment and activated carbon prefilters prior to the water flowing through the membrane.
Our most popular 5-Stage 50 Gallon Per Day (RO) System processes the water through 3 separate pre-filtration filters that remove organic contaminants, particulates, chlorine, and its by-products. Next, the water flows through the reverse osmosis membrane, a very tightly wound sheet filter, that rejects dissolved solids and a long list of other impurities to the drain and allows purified water to pass to a storage tank.
When the dedicated faucet that is installed on the sink countertop is opened, the purified water from the storage tank flows through a final stage post-carbon filter to polish the taste. Additional stages can be added to the system to include Alkaline or Remineralization Filters and UV Light Disinfection.
The typical Reverse Osmosis (RO) system installed under the kitchen sink for drinking water consumption uses water similarly to other water-using appliances in the home. We use and send water to the drain every day by washing clothes, washing dishes, and flushing toilets. An RO system uses more water in its operation than is actually consumed; however, you will not suddenly see a jump in your water bill.
When the storage tank is full, the system will automatically stop the incoming water and shut down water flowing to the drain. In terms of expense, it’s like a couple of extra toilet flushes a day.
While Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems are known to remove about 98% of minerals, this isn’t the full picture. This topic is one of the most frequently asked and debated questions in drinking water purification. Experts on both sides present convincing arguments, making it confusing for consumers.
Research shows that the mineral content in water, whether high or low, is less significant than you might think. The minerals found in water are inorganic and not easily absorbed by your body. Instead, you obtain the majority of essential minerals from your diet and daily supplements. The main concern with most water supplies is the presence of chemicals and other impurities, rather than the mineral content.
