At Aqua True Blue, we understand that clean, safe drinking water is essential for your health and well-being. One of the most effective ways to ensure your water is free of harmful contaminants is by installing a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need about Reverse Osmosis systems, particularly for home use, and highlight the advantages of choosing a 6-stage RO system, especially for healthy water.
What is a Reverse Osmosis Water System for Home?
A Reverse Osmosis water system for home use is a filtration technology that removes impurities from water by forcing it through a semi-permeable membrane. This process allows only pure water molecules to pass through, effectively separating harmful contaminants like chemicals, heavy metals, and microorganisms.
In a typical home water filtration system, impurities like chlorine, iron, pesticides, and bacteria can affect the taste and safety of water. A Reverse Osmosis System provides a reliable
solution by purifying water, removing up to 99% of these contaminants, ensuring your family has access to the cleanest water possible.
How Does Reverse Osmosis Work?
The Reverse Osmosis process begins with the water being pushed through multiple filters to remove large particles, sediment, and chlorine. Once it reaches the RO membrane, water is forced through the membrane’s tiny pores under pressure. Only water molecules and a few other small particles can pass through, while larger contaminants are left behind and flushed out of the system. This ensures that you get water that’s free of impurities.
The 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis System – Why Choose It?
The Aqua True Blue 6-stage Reverse Osmosis System is an excellent option for well water users. It goes beyond essential filtration by incorporating additional stages to remove many contaminants, especially those commonly found in healthy water.
1. Stage One: Pre-Filter (Sediment Filter)
The first stage involves a sediment filter, which captures dirt, sand, and larger particles, preventing them from clogging the system and extending the life of the subsequent filters.
2. Stage Two: Carbon Filter (GAC)
In this stage, a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter removes chlorine, pesticides, and other chemicals. Chlorine, in particular, can affect the taste and odor of your water, so this step is vital for improving the overall quality.
3. Stage Three: Iron Pre-Filter
Iron can be a significant issue for well water users. This stage uses an iron prefilter, specifically targeting iron and protecting the RO membrane from damage caused by iron buildup. Iron can cause stains and scale in plumbing, so this filter ensures your system remains efficient and effective.
4. Stage Four: Reverse Osmosis Membrane
The RO membrane is the heart of the system. It removes up to 99% of contaminants, including heavy metals, salts, chemicals, and microorganisms. At this stage, your water undergoes a thorough purification process, ensuring it’s safe to drink.
5. Stage Five: UV Filter
The UV filter is a powerful tool for destroying harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that may still be present in your water. This additional stage offers an extra layer of protection, ensuring that your water is clean and free from harmful germs.
6. Stage Six: Anti-Scaling Cartridge
Finally, an anti-scaling phosphate cartridge helps prevent scale buildup in the system, ensuring the longevity and continued efficiency of the RO unit. This filter helps maintain the system’s performance over time.
Final Thoughts
A Reverse Osmosis water system for home use is one of the best investments you can make to improve your water quality. Whether you are dealing with high TDS, iron, or microorganisms in healthy water, a 6-stage RO system can effectively address these issues and provide pure, great-tasting water. At Aqua True Blue, we are dedicated to offering the best filtration systems to meet your needs. Choose our Reverse Osmosis Systems for clean, safe water that you can rely on for years.
