Pure water on tap
The Reverse Osmosis system is plumbed-in under the sink to provide a constant supply of drinking and cooking water free of both contaminants and minerals. It is an excellent system for patients whose doctor or therapist recommends pure water or for people who want to drink pure H2O. It improves the taste, odour and appearance of water, removes limescale and works well with a water softener.
Reverse Osmosis is the method of purifying liquid by pushing it through a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane allows pure water molecules through it, whilst impurities are flushed away. The R.O. membrane removes suspended solids, up to 98% of all dissolved solids, and virtually all bacteria, pesticides, insecticides and viruses.
Can be installed DIY or by your plumber. The filters should be replaced every 6 months. It will need to be hooked up to a drain.
The unit measures 38x33x13cm. The tank is 20cm in diameter and 46cm high. Both parts should fit under an average sink (please check dimensions). A separate tap is provided which can be fitted to the corner of your kitchen sink.
How it works
Incoming water is filtered through a four stage filter system.
Stage 1: A 5 micron pre-filter removes any sediment and particles.
Stage 2: An activated carbon block filter removes a large number of heavy metals and chlorine
Stage 3: The water is forced through the membrane for removal of pesticides, bacteria, nitrates and the remaining metals. The water is then stored in a pressure tank with a butyl liner.
Stage 4:When the tap is turned on the butyl liner contracts and the water is pushed out through a final granulated carbon filter to remove any residual taste from the liner and then out through the tap.
