The Process
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis is the process whereby a solution – in this case, water – is forced through a semi-permeable membrane that traps particulates. The membrane is made of a dense polymer layer of microscopic thickness which allows only pure water to pass through, effectively filtering it of almost 100% of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
How do the Pure Eau Systems Work?
The drinking water systems supplied by Pure Eau use four stages of filtration. Some units on the market today offer more filtration stages, but this does not mean the treated water is any more pure. It does mean, however, that additional filtration levels make the unit more bulky, they take up more room, and have a more complicated filter replacement process.
Pure Eau systems are hydro driven and require a minimum of 1.5 bar water pressure. Although most domestic and commercial premises fulfill this requirement, Pure Eau can supply a system which has a fully integrated pump for use in households with very low water pressure. Units with and without pumps fit under a normal sized kitchen sink unit with plenty of room left for storage purposes.
How long do they last?
Reverse Osmosis continually purifies water. The only part of the Pure Eau unit that needs regular replacement is the filter, which should be changed annually. Pure Eau is dedicated to providing its customers with a constant supply of pure clear drinking water and supplies a full 5 year guarantee on all its residential systems.
