Benefits of the RS PRO Reverse Osmosis System (RO

• RS PRO has designed this reverse osmosis system to be compact and easy to fit under the sink is convenient, low upkeep plus tidy for the household


• Perfect for making your drinking water purified straight from the tap thanks to the multiple filter system in place, this also helps the environment as you'll no longer need to buy plastic water bottles for purified water when you can achieve this straight from the tap


• Filtration removes tastes and odours leaving you with virtually pure water, taking out fluoride, chloride, barium, copper, and sodium


• The membrane removes sediment, asbestos, and any suspended organic material along with virtually all micro-organisms such as bacteria, cysts, virus and pyrogen


• Virtually all colloidal matter, heavy metals and most heavy metal complexes of arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and silver are gone with the use of reverse osmosis


• Reverse osmosis removes 90 - 99% of all dissolved solids from water, the filters providing water of extreme purity which is ideal for anyone with any health concerns


• Reverse osmosis water has, in blind taste tests, been chosen to be the best tasting water. This is most likely because it doesn't have the trace amounts of sulphur, heavy metals and nitrates that potable water has which can often make it unappetising


• RO water has no lead which along with making it taste better actually reduces the risk of high blood pressure, nerve damage and also kidney and liver problems


• RO water has no sodium which is fantastic for people who are being health conscious as sodium has been linked to blood pressure issues, increase the risk of stroke, heart disease, stomach cancer and kidney disease. It is also responsible for holding excess fluid in the body which can put an added burden to the heart


• RO water also eliminates parasites in your drinking water which is great especially for children that are more susceptible to the risk of these parasites causing anaemic conditions or brain damage. Water parasites are also known to cause stomach pains and other gastrointestinal issues by parasites making their way into the digestive tracks


• You'll save money from no longer having to buy plastic bottled water, an excellent bonus to the environment.

How do reverse osmosis systems work?

The reverse osmosis water filter works by a series of pre-filters, the first of which the water be pumped through is the SW5 strung filter. This filter works to remove sediment and other particles down to the size of 5 micron. After this the water passes to allow pressure switch before going through to the booster pump. From the booster pump, it then passes through the second filter, this is the carbon filter that contains activated carbon, removing the chlorine from the water. Then the water is pumped through the third filter, the SW1 filter, which removes any particles still in the water down to a size of 1 micron. After the three stages of pre-filtration have occurred the water will then pass through the RO membrane where virtually all remaining contaminants are removed before moving on to the post-filter, which also contains activated carbon that polishes your water by removing any unwanted tastes, purification of your water is complete, and it is ready for you to drink.
