The 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis Purifier

The explanation below outlines the process of the 5 stage Reverse Osmosis Purifier.

All our purifiers are capable of removing over 95% of total dissolved solids, 99% of all organics and 99% of all bacteria.

Stage 1 - 5 Micron Sediment Filter

The filter is made from polypropylene. Polypropylene means – proper plastic. The manufacturer uses very thin strips of plastic – as thin as candy floss- and then heats it up. The product is then compressed and becomes five-micron filters.

Features
  • 10” cartridge to fit most standard 10” filter housings
  • 5 Micron
  • Sand, silt, dirt and rust particles removed
  • Maximum water temperature 125F(52C)
  • For water use only
  • Service Life: +/-10 000 liters

The raw tap water first flows through a 5 micron particle FILTER to remove dirt, dust, rust, suspended substances, sediment and floating matters larger than 5 microns. (1 micron = 1/1000mm). The lifespan of the filter will depend on the level of sediment present in the feed water. (Should excessive levels of sediment be present in the feed water a specialized washable sediment pre-filter should be installed.)

Stage 2 - Activated Carbon Filter

Granular activated carbon is a well-established technology for the reduction of a wide range of aesthetic contaminants, and is quite effective in the reduction of some health contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (benzene, trichloroethylene, and other “petroleum” – based contaminants.

Because of its molecular makeup, activated carbon can absorb well, meaning that it can take in or collect many organic molecules on its surface. Granular activated carbon filters are typically inexpensive, and maintenance involves replacing of cartridges depending on the quality of the raw water and the filter water and the filter media.

Features
  • 10” Cartridge to fit most standard 10” filter housings
  • Sand, silt, dirt and rust particles removed
  • Taste and Odour Reduction
  • Chlorine Removed
  • 99% Organic Chemicals removed
  • Maximum water temperature 125F(52C)
  • For water use only
  • Service Life: +/-10 000 liters

Removes sediment over 5 Micron – Removes odours, bad taste and smell plus any excess chlorine and chemicals.

Stage 3 - Carbon Block Cartridge

The carbon has an electromagnetic field, which causes the chlorine to be absorbed by the carbon. The carbon gets sated and must be replaced. Replace this filter once a year.

This filter absorbs more chlorine than the activated carbon filter because the carbon is so compressed. The water flow is slower through the carbon. This filter has less bacteria growth than the activated carbon. Carbon block filter provides effective filtration to protect your membrane.

Features
  • 10” Cartridge to fit most standard 10” filter housings
  • 10 Micron
  • Taste and Odour Reduction
  • 99% Chlorine Removal
  • 99% Organic Chemicals removed
  • Other Heavy Metal and Contaminant’s Removed
  • Maximum water temperature 125F(52C)
  • For water use only
  • Service Life: ±10 000 liters

When water is forced through the solid carbon block, it is forced to slow down and increase the contact time with the carbon, allowing the carbon bonding to take place to reduce certain chemical pollutants like toxic, pesticides, THM’s, chlorine, bad tastes, odours etc.

Stage 4 - T.F.C Reverse Osmosis Membrane

The process works by forcing water under great pressure against a semi permeable membrane, where ion exclusion occurs. With ion exclusion, water molecules form a barrier that allows other water molecules to pass through while excluding most contaminants.

Typical contaminant rejection rates from 85% to 95%, depending on the initial quality of the water. The pure water that passes through is then made available for use while the contaminants are washed off the membrane and rejected down the drain.

  • T.F.C. – (Thin film composite) a 0.0001 micron filter removes bacteria, heavy metals, radio active materials and contaminants over 0.0001 micron including Cryptosporidium (a water parasite that can cause gastro intestinal illness) Ecoli, Giardia etc.
  • It removes the following hard water contaminants that may be present in your water: lead, copper, barium, chromium, mercury, sodium, cadmium, fluoride, nitrite, nitrate and selenium.
  • The membrane needs a water pressure of at least 3 bar.
  • The purified water and sediment / dissolved solids are separated by this filter.
