What is Reverse Osmosis (R/O) system?
Reverse Osmosis offers mineral reduction in water through membrane technology. It uses a membrane that is semi-permeable, allowing only water molecules to pass through, while rejecting the contaminants that are too large to pass though the membrane. Not all Reverse Osmosis systems are effective. The effectiveness of a Reverse Osmosis system depends greatly on the quality of its components — especially its pre-filter cartridges and the membrane itself. Lower quality pre-filters may lead to premature membrane fouling, as well as reduced performance, water output, and membrane life. Cedar Springs offers Hydrotech® Reverse Osmosis drinking water system that is equipped with the patented Smartap® water quality monitor which compares the feed water to the product water and accurately indicates membrane performance with the touch of a button. The residential Reverse Osmosis unit offers Faucet Smartap™ that illuminates every time water is drawn from the faucet indicating membrane performance a
