Advantages of Reverse Osmosis

Jan 9, 2025, 16:18:17

The use of a reverse osmosis system offers you the following advantages:

Uniform filter criteria (molecular size), thus maximum protection against all types of contamination (including carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs). A large proportion of consumers are often affected by this due to a tarred pipe network.
Very low operating costs of approx. 3-5 cents per litre (only water is used).
Long maintenance intervals (every 3-5 years, pre- and post-filter changes - depending on the raw water quality as required every 6 months to annually).
The service life is significantly extended by the backwashing device of the Teflon membrane and the multi-stage pre-filtration.
Fully automatic operation for under-sink systems - with some devices the water quality is monitored fully automatically.
Consistent production performance (sediment pre-filter with 5µ - 1µ filtration sharpness, activated carbon filter blocks and permeate pump for more performance).
Absolute bacteriological safety thanks to a double activated carbon filter system – be sure to pay attention to this when purchasing.
Laser-perforated Teflon membrane with 0.0001µ pore size (even the smallest organisms have no chance) - service life approx. 45.4 m³ osmosis water
In contrast to cheap devices, thanks to the use of booster pumps, no minimum water pressure is required.
Most devices do not require a power connection
The assembly and commissioning can be carried out on site by the experienced do-it-yourselfer.
Small space requirement with 12 litre storage tank - which refills itself automatically.
The included tap can be used to draw either osmosis water or normal water.
storage tank made of food-safe plastic

Product: REOS Compact Umkehrosmoseanlage

Answer:

The REOS Compact reverse osmosis system is primarily designed for the treatment of relatively clean, pre-filtered drinking water. While it is excellent at removing impurities, pollutants and microorganisms from water to produce pure drinking water, its suitability for producing drinking water directly from a body of water such as a river depends on various factors.

For the direct treatment of river water into drinking water, preparatory steps are usually necessary to remove coarse impurities and particles before the water is passed through a reverse osmosis system. This includes pre-filtration to remove sediment, suspended solids and possible larger organic materials that could damage or clog the reverse osmosis system membranes.

Furthermore, the process of reverse osmosis can also lead to a reduced pH value, making the water slightly acidic. This is because reverse osmosis systems not only remove impurities, but also minerals that give the water flavor and contribute to pH balance. In some cases, it is therefore necessary to post-treat the osmosis-treated water to increase the pH and add minerals back in so that it meets drinking water standards and preferences.
