What is reverse osmosis water filtration system for home?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process that reduces
contaminants from water by using pressure to force water molecules through a
semipermeable membrane.
During this process, the contaminants are basically filtered out and flushed away,
leaving clean,
delicious drinking water.
How does a reverse osmosis water purifier work?
Reverse Osmosis water purification process is a simple water
filtration
process. It is accomplished by water pressure pushing water through a semipermeable
membrane to remove
impurities from water. This is a process in which dissolved inorganic solids are removed
from a water.
What does reverse osmosis water filtration system remove?
A reverse osmosis water filtration system is known to
eliminate 99% of
contaminants found in water. These include: • Chlorine and fluorine • Lead, arsenic,
chromium, radium,
barium, cadmium • Salts – Nitrates, sulphates, and others • Sediments, dirt, and rust •
Heavy metals •
Parasites • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) • Herbicides and pesticides • Total
dissolved solids(TDS)
Is this reverse osmosis water filter system unit suitable for well water?
We do not recommend using well water as source for our RO
systems.
The
reasons are as follows:
1. Large particles.
Compared to municipal tap water, the
well water is
rich of large particles, which will clog the filters easily, and shorten their lifetime
significantly.Please note that the filters will still need to be replaced more
frequently, even if you
have added a pre-filtration system.
2. Composition
The well water has very
complicated
compostion, and some of them (apart from the large particles) can cause the filter or
internal valve to
be clogged and prevent the RO system from normal performance.
3. Water pressure
The well water
may not provide the feed water pressure that the RO system requires (14.5 psi min.).
Furthermore, the
water pressure will be even lower after passing through pre-filtration systems.
Where to buy reverse osmosis water filter?
You can buy waterdrop reverse osmosis water filter from our
website or on
Amazon.
How much water does reverse osmosis waste?
Dispensing 2 cups of pure water will produce only 1 cup of
waste water.
Compared to traditional RO water purifiers with a water tank, the G2 P600 reverse
osmosis system saves
600% more water.
How much does a reverse osmosis system cost?
Because Waterdrop employs advanced materials and invests in
the
improvement of product quality. Moreover, our researchers invest time, employ advanced
technology, and
carry out various professional tests to develop products. Our reverse osmosis membrane
has an accuracy
of 0.0001 μm and can reduce most invisible hazardous substances in tap water. Waterdrop
continuously
improves product quality to meet all consumer needs.
How often do I need to change the RO filter?
CF filter: 12 months or 1,100 gallons, whichever comes first.
This may
vary depending on filtered water consumption. MRO filter: 24 months or 3,300 gallons,
whichever comes
first. This may vary depending on filtered water consumption.
How to install Waterdrop reverse osmosis system?
Along with a well-organized instruction manual, you can find a
step-by-step installation video on the Waterdrop YouTube channel.
What is the lifetime of a reverse osmosis water filter?
CF filter: 12 months or 1,100 gallons, whichever comes first.
This may
vary depending on filtered water consumption. MRO filter: 24 months or 3,300 gallons,
whichever comes
first. This may vary depending on filtered water consumption.
How long is the power cord of the RO water purifier?
The length of the power cord is about 59".
How many stages of filtration does this system perform?
The G2P600 has two composite filters with 5-stage filtration.
-The CF
filter employs a sediment PP membrane and an activated carbon block to reduce rust,
sediment, and
organic matter. -The MRO filter uses a RO membrane with 0.0001μm filtration accuracy, a
sediment PP
membrane, an activated carbon block, and a PET pleated membrane to intercept TDS,
atrazine, salt,
nitrates, PFAS, fluoride, and heavy metals, etc.
Does this RO filter come with everything needed for install?
The necessary parts and accessories are already included, but
you may need
the following additional tools to complete the installation: -Variable speed drill
-Drill bit: 1/4” (for
drainpipe), 1⅜” (for faucet hole) -Adjustable wrench, pliers -Screwdriver -Utility knife
or scissors
-Flashlight -Towel
Do you have to use the faucet that comes with this system?
No, you could use your own RO faucet with our product, but not
normal
faucet for tap water.
Will work with instant hot/cold water device?
Yes, you could connect another device to the RO system, as
long as it
meets the requirements below: 1. It can work with the outlet water pressure of the RO,
which is 30-40
psi. Otherwise, various issues could occur, such as frequent start-stop of the RO
system. 2. It can be
connected with the RO's outlet PE tubing, which has a diameter of 1/4".
How loud is the pump of the reverse osmosis water filtration system?
The pump's noise level while dispensing water is less than
60dB.
Can I use our own faucet？
Truly sorry, the brushed nickel faucet is the only option
available
now.
You could use your own RO faucet with our product, but not normal faucet for
tap water.
There are a few things you may need to know before purchasing one:
Firstly, our
faucet is equipped
with a filter life indicator, which allows you to monitor the filters' life easily. If
you decide not to
use our original faucet, this function will not be in effect.
Secondly, your RO
faucet should be
able to connect with the outlet tubing of the system, which has a diameter of 1/4".
In addition, it
should have a "Quick-Connect Fitting", please click here.
OR, it should come with a
set of accessory
parts, which allows you to connect the faucet with the bare end of our outlet tubing.
Please click here
to see the example for your reference.
If the faucet does not meet one of these
requirements, you
will need to acquire a corresponding adapter, in order to complete the connection with
the machine.
What does Pure to Drain Rate mean?
The reverse osmosis water filter relies on a semi-permeable
membrane to
filter out impurities from drinking water. When the tap water is compressed through the
RO membrane, it
produced pure water and waste water. The ratio of pure water to waste water is called
wastewater ratio.
1:1 wastewater ratio means 1 gallon water is wasted per 1 gallon purified, and 2:1
wastewater ratio
means 1 gallon water is wasted per 2 gallon purified. The higher the wastewater ratio
is, the less
waster water produced during the filtration process. During the use of RO water filter,
the actual ratio
might be lower than the labeled, depending on many factors such as water quality, pH,
pressure and
temperature.
