Reverse Osmosis System
A Home Drinking Water System that uses the principle of reverse osmosis to remove 95-99% of all the mineral and chemical contaminants from raw tap water. Maui products gives you the quality of bottled water with the convenience of a faucet mounted on your kitchen sink.Ordinary water filters use a screen to separate only particles of dirt sediment from water. Reverse osmosis employs a semipermeable membrane that removes not only particles but also an extremely high percentage of dissolved contaminants molecule by molecule from raw tap water.
Reverse Osmosis is the reversal of the natural flow of osmosis. In a water purification system, the goal is not to dilute the salt solution, but to separate the pure water from the salt and other contaminants. When the natural osmotic flow is reversed, water from the salt solution is forced through the membrane in the opposite direction by application of pressure-thus the term REVERSE OSMOSIS. Through this process, we are able to produce pure water by screening out the salts and other contaminants.
The raw tap water first flows through a 5 micron particle FILTER[I] to remove dirt, rust and other sediment. The water then flows into a carbon briquette cartridge FILTER[2] which takes out 98% of the chlorine and organic chemicals. The next stage of the process is FILTER[3] the Block carbon filter to filter multi-chemical compounds and suspension. [4] The reverse osmosis membrane (TFC) which will separate 95-99% of the dissolved contaminants from the water molecules. The contaminants are then washed down the drain. The next stage is the small CARBON FILTER [5] removes the remaining traces of chemicals, tastes and odors.
The System contains a quality carbon filter which will remove more than 98% of organic chemicals from the water. These include THMs(chloroform), DBCR(lindane), TCEs(trichloroethylene). PCEs(tetrachloroethylene), and carbon (tetrachloride chlorine). In addition to these organic chemicals, below is a partial list of other contaminants removed by the system. The percentage of removal shown below is a conservative estimate.
