Efficiency
Undoubtedly, this product has a very high efficiency – its waste ration is 1:1, which means that for every gallon of purified water, only one gallon is wasted. If we compare it with other RO systems, we will see that they have a waste of 3 or 4.Having said this, we can conclude that this system is also an environment-friendly one. Another proof that this device is eco-friendly is that when you start using it, you will reduce the number of plastic bottles you buy. So there will be less plastic waste. In addition to this, the system saves you money.
Filters
When you order this RO, you can choose from a standard carbon filter or an alkalizing one. The difference between the two types of filters is that the alkalizing one is better for your body as it improves the level of pH in your water. Thus it makes your water alkalized, which is much better for your health than acidic. The alkalizing filter adds minerals back into the water.
This RO system features a 5-staged filtration. In the first stage, there is a 5-micron sediment filter responsible for trapping dust and particles. The second stage consists of a 10-micron coconut shell granular activated carbon. In the third stage, another 10-micron carbon block reduces chlorine, organic impurities, taste, and odor. The most important stage is the 4th one – this is the high-efficiency membrane. It is made of a thin film composite membrane, and it reduces toxic heavy metals, and dissolved solids. The last stage is an odor filter, which eliminates any remaining odor and improves the taste of water.
Installation
In terms of installation, you can mount the system yourself if you have some basic plumbing skills, and there is no need to pay an expert to do it for you. The manufacturers promise that this is an easy process, and to make it even easier, they will send you an installation kit with accessories. If you have some experience, the installation will take you around an hour. In case of having any questions about this unit, you can contact the kind and reliable customer service professionals.
