Detailed Reverse Osmosis System Features

Complete System:
These are complete systems, and come pre-assembled, with filters, tank, faucet, and installation kit. All you have to do is hook it up!
 
95-97% Pure Water
Removes 95-97% % of contaminates including sodium, aluminum, lead, copper, arsenic, mercury, calcium, phosphate, iron, magnesium, zinc, chloride, nitrate, silicate, cyanide, sulphide, nickel, silver, bicarbonate, manganese, ammonium, barium, and chromium. Click to view a membrane rejection sheet.
 
4 Gallon storage tank:
The production rate of a 50 gpd membrane alone is about 2 gallons per hour, and most people don't want to wait that long to get their water, so this system includes a pressurized storage tank to store the water, giving you about 3.2 gallons of water available at any given time. This tank can be upgraded if you have a large demand for water. Approximate dimensions: 14" long X 11" diameter
 
Filmtec Membranes:
(35-75GPD) We use high quality Filmtec membranes in our RO system, one of the most trusted names for quality membranes. (Our 100GPD membranes are Osmonics brand)
Installation Kit:
Includes everything you need to install the system in most applications, including 5/8" feed water connector and ball valve (fits most standard faucet shanks), drain saddle valve, tank ball valve, faucet bracket (allows for faucet installation without drilling a hole in the sink), filter housing wrench, color coded tubing, and installation instructions.
 
Standard filter size:
Filters are standard 2.5" x 10" size, available at most hardware stores. Filters include 5 micron sediment filter for dirt, rust, and particle removal. GAC filter for chlorine and chemical removal. 5 micron carbon block filter for chemical, taste, and odor removal. Inline GAC post filter for a final taste and odor polishing.

*Subject to terms and conditions
Auto Shut-off valve:
Includes an auto shut-off valve, which detects when the tank is full and shuts of the water supply to the membrane, conserving water.
 
Flow Restrictor:
Regulates waste water, providing proper pressure against the membrane to ensure high efficiency
 
Check Valve:
Prevents tank from pushing water back through the membrane and down the drain, reducing waste.
 
Clear Filter Housing:
The housing for the sediment filter is clear, which helps you to monitor the condition of your sediment filter, making it easy to know when it needs changed.
 
Mounting Bracket:
Allows for mounting of the RO system, increasing your installation options.
 
Chrome Faucet:
For dispensing your RO water, with Touch-Flo lever design for ease of use. Push down on the lever release and it closes, or lift up and the lever to lock it open.
 
 
 
 

System Upgrade Details

UV Filter:
UV is ultraviolet light, used in water treatment to disinfect water. The UV rays interfere with micro-organisms ability to reproduce, essentially rendering them inert and harmless. Water that has been properly treated with UV will be free of harmful microorganisms, including E. coli, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia.
 
DI Filter:
An inline DI (De-Ionization) filter purifies water even further, giving you water that is 99.9% pure. While DI filtration is generally not used for drinking water applications (most people either don't like the taste or don't require the higher purity), it is available for those who want or require the ultra-purity of DI water.
 
pH/Mineral Filter:
An inline pH/re-mineralization filter adds beneficial minerals back into your water, and also helps to neutralize any acid that may be in the water, providing you healthier water with a balanced pH.
 
Designer Faucets†:
Designer Faucets
Designer Style faucets come in an array of colors to match your homes decor. All designer faucets feature a Touch-Flo handle for easy water dispensing, push the handle down to open, release and it closes, or flip it up to leave it open. Comes in Almond, Black, Brushed Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Stainless Steel, or White.
 
Euro-Style Faucets†:
Euro Faucets
Euro-Style faucets incorporate elegance with functionality. 1/4 turn ceramic disc handles allow them to function like a standard faucet, turn to open then turn back to close. Available in Almond, Black, Brass, Brushed Nickel, Brushed Stainless Steel, Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, or White.
 
14 Gallon Tank:
If you have high water demands and need more storage capacity the 14 gallon (10 gallon capacity) tank would offer you the extra space required. Approximate dimensions: 23" long X 16" diameter
 
Ice Maker Kit:
The ice maker kit includes the parts necessary to connect your RO system to you refrigerator's ice maker/water dispenser. Included in the kit is a quick connect T-fitting, inline ball valve, and 25 feet of 1/4" flexible tubing

Booster Pump:
Required for homes with less than 40psi water pressure, recommended for homes with less than 50psi. Increases incoming pressure to the RO system, improving efficiency. 110v transformer included. Upgraded systems are built on specialized bracket with pump mounted directly on the system to save space. The TSO switch detects when your tank is full and shuts the pump off, preventing damage to the pump. The optional ESO switch is activated by the TSO when the tank is full, shutting off the water supply to the membrane, conserving water. The ESO replaces the standard auto shut off valve, which may not always work in conjunction with the booster pump.
 
Permeate Pump:
RO systems work by producing the water then storing it in a tank so you have water when you need it. The biggest disadvantage of this method is the fuller the tank gets, the stronger the pressure required to fill it, this equates to more waste water as the membrane tries to overcome the pressure in the tank. When your household water pressure is borderline (40-50psi) this problem is increased, you waste even more water, and may not be able to fill the tank to it's full capacity. The permeate pump solves this problem by using the waste water to push the product water into the tank, eliminating the back pressure on the membrane, increasing purity and decreasing waste! When used in conjunction with the optional 90% auto shut of valve, you have a system that will out perform any similar system without the pump. The 90% auto shut-off valve is recommended for use with a permeate pump. The auto shut off valve detects when the tank is full and shuts of the water supply to the membrane, conserving water. Standard auto shut off valves shut off when your tank pressure reaches around 60% of your incoming pressure. With the permeate pump you are able to use a 90% auto shut off, which fills your tank to 90% of incoming pressure. This increases the amount of water your storage tank holds, particularly in borderline (35-45psi) pressure homes. NOTE: The 90% auto shut off is designed to be used in conjunction with the permeate pump and should not be used alone.
 
Membrane Upgrades:
We use high quality Filmtec membranes available in different sizes. Membranes are sized according to their output in gallons per day (GPD) . We offer 35GPD, 50GPD, 75GPD, and 100GPD sizes. (100GPD membranes are Osmonic brand). These different sizes affect you as a customer primarily by dictating how quickly your storage tank will refill, the larger the membrane the quicker your tank will refill. Below is a chart with estimated fill times for a standard 4 gallon (3.2 gallon capacity) tank. If you are unsure which size to choose, 50GPD is the standard size and is a good place to start. All membranes are the same physical dimensions, so should you decide you need a larger membrane, it is just a matter of ordering one and replacing it.
Approximate Tank Filling Times (3.2 Gallons) @ 50psi, 25º C
35GPD Membrane 2.2 Hours
50GPD Membrane 1.5 Hours
75GPD Membrane 1.0 Hour
100GPD Membrane 45 Minutes
