Reverse Osmosis
When it comes to home water filtration, one of the most popular forms has been reverse osmosis ever since its beginnings in 1977 and for good reason. Reverse osmosis is a system with minimal upkeep that helps to rid water of various contaminants as well as discoloration and odors that are typically found in common household tap water. See how Reverse Osmosis water can benefit your family by scheduling a free water test.
How Does Reverse Osmosis Work?
Activated carbon is the first step in the process, its large surface area is ideal for the removal organic compounds, chlorine and trihalomethanes which are commonly found in tap water as a by-product of cleaning source water before it is delivered to your home.
Sediment Pre-Filter
BlackCat® ion exchange media is a proprietary engineered resin which serves to eliminate positively charge ions found in water by running the water through small electrically charged beads. The beads help to remove calcium and magnesium from water replacing them with sodium ions in the process. After these undesirable ions are removed, water becomes significantly softer and clear water iron is reduced. Without this essential step, the ions lead to lime scale deposits which can shorten the life of various appliances, leave stains on dishes and faucets, and interfere with the effectiveness of soaps.
Activated Carbon Filter
After water runs through the sediment filter it then reaches the carbon filter which helps to remove chemicals such as chlorine that could also damage the reverse osmosis membrane. This stage also vastly improves the taste and smell of your water.

Reverse Osmosis Membrane
The semipermeable membrane is the most important part of the filtration process as it allows water to pass through without carrying other contaminants that may be dissolved inside of it. The result is clean, great tasting water that is odorless and ideal for drinking, cooking or bathing.

Upkeep and Service for Your Reverse Osmosis System
Apart from the high quality water it delivers, another major benefit of the reverse osmosis system is the minimal upkeep and maintenance associated with servicing the filtration system. Depending on the usage of your system, a reverse osmosis system will need to have its sanitary exchange modules replaced every 6 months to one year. Aqua Pure Water Solutions also suggests that reverse osmosis systems be sanitized once a year in order to ensure that your water is as clean as possible when it is used.
We have several service plans available to meet your specific needs. Please call to set up your annual service or to choose a service plan and save money.

MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS: The recommended interval for changing the modules (not the Membrane) is every 6 to 12 months. Typical T.F.C. Membrane life expectancy is three years. Local conditions may dictate more frequent changes.
