What is the difference between RO Purification & Filtration?
According to the OED – semantics. However, to water treatment professionals the difference is huge. Very briefly; RO membranes let through water molecules to give ‘purified water’ and the waste water with the contaminants goes down your drain. The resulting ‘purified’ water has up to 99% of everything taken out – including all the good elements. The water filters use ativated carbon block cartridges targeted at a range of threats typically found in public water supplies. Particulates are removed mechanically and chemicals are adsorbed by the media electrokinetically. These filters waste no water and leave the good elements in your water. We no longer manufacture or sell RO systems, This is because RO systems artificially soften the water and expert medical opinion and the Department of Health warn of the correlation between cardiovascular disease and consumption of soft water.
