An RO reverse osmosis filter is a very important part of modern domestic and commercial water treatment systems. It removes impurities, bacteria and chemical contaminants from water through a process called reverse osmosis to provide pure drinking water. Reverse osmosis is a process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate solutes and solvents in a solution under pressure.
Reverse osmosis is a physical separation process that uses high pressure to purify water by passing water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane while impurities larger than the water molecules are unable to pass through.The core component of an RO system is the RO membrane, which is a very fine semi-permeable membrane with a pore size of approximately 0.0001 microns that retains most dissolved salts, particulate matter, and organics. Frizzlife ‘s reverse osmosis filters provide the highest quality water you'll find. The Frizzlife WB99-C Countertop Reverse Osmosis System effectively reduces more than 1,000 harmful contaminants (99.99%) including chlorine, fluoride, lead and other heavy metals, arsenic, chloramines, TDS, scale, VOCs and more.
A typical RO reverse osmosis system usually consists of the following components:
1. pre-filter: usually consists of one or more cartridges to remove large particulate matter, sand, rust and suspended solids from the water.
2. activated carbon filter: removes chlorine, odours, organics and some volatile organic compounds from the water.
3. RO membrane: the core component, using high pressure to separate water molecules from other impurities.
4. post-filter: commonly an activated carbon cartridge, used to further remove any residual odours and improve the taste of the water.
5. water storage tank: used to store the filtered pure water.
6. tap: convenient for users to get pure water.
1. pre-treatment: water first through the pre-filter to remove most of the large particles of impurities and suspended solids, to protect the subsequent RO membrane from damage.
2. activated carbon filtration: the water after pretreatment into the activated carbon filter to remove chlorine and organic matter, to avoid their damage to the RO membrane.
3. Pressurisation: water pressure is increased by a high-pressure pump to enable water molecules to pass through the RO membrane.
4. Reverse osmosis: the pressurised water passes through the RO membrane, the water molecules pass through the membrane into the water purification side, while the impurities are retained in the wastewater side.
5. Post-treatment: After passing through, the purified water enters the post-filter for further purification to improve the water quality and taste.
6. Storage and use: the purified pure water is stored in the water storage tank, and users can use it directly through the tap.
Efficient purification: RO reverse osmosis system can remove most of the dissolved salts, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, organic matter and other impurities in water, providing high purity drinking water.
Safeguard health: through multi-stage filtration, RO system can effectively remove harmful substances in water, such as lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals, to safeguard the safety of drinking water.
Improve taste: Post-activated carbon filter can remove odours and tastes, improve the taste of water and make drinking water more pure and sweet.
Environmental protection and energy saving: compared with bottled water, the use of RO reverse osmosis system can reduce plastic waste and transport costs, which is more friendly to the environment.
1. Choose a suitable location: RO system is usually installed under the kitchen sink, make sure there is enough space to place the device.
2. Connect the water inlet: Connect the pre-filter to the water inlet pipe to ensure there is no leakage.
3. Install the RO membrane and post-filter: Install the RO membrane and post-filter according to the instructions and make sure the connections are tight.
4. Connect the water storage tank and tap: connect the water purification outlet to the water storage tank, and then connect it to the tap through the pipe.
5. Commissioning and testing: after the installation is completed, turn on the tap and check if the system is working properly and make sure there is no water leakage.
1. Regular replacement of filter element: pre-filter and activated carbon filter element need to be replaced regularly, generally 6-12 months, depending on the use of specific time.
2. cleaning RO membrane: the life of RO membrane is generally 2-3 years, during which it should be cleaned regularly to maintain its purification effect.
3. Check the water pressure: Check the water pressure of the system regularly to ensure that it is within the normal range, to avoid excessive high or low damage to the system.
4. Regularly check the water quality: Use the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) detector to regularly check the purified water quality to ensure that it meets the drinking standard.
