Step 1: Water Softening
The water softener's primary function is to remove the hard minerals
typically found in tap water (such as calcium and magnesium) and to replace
them with "soft" minerals. This process pretreats the water to protect
the Reverse Osmosis system and ensure a consistent, high quality, purified
drinking water. Any remaining soft minerals after water softening are later
removed by the Reverse Osmosis system.
Step 2: Activated Pre-Carbon Filter
The activated pre-carbon filter purifies the water and protects the
Reverse Osmosis membrane by removing chlorine. It also reduces or removes
many organic compounds, solvents and pesticides.
Step 3: Five Micron Sediment Filter
This filter traps dissolved particulate matter and sediment as small
as five microns (the human eye can see approximately forty microns). The
water treatment system automatically indicates when this cartridge filter
needs to be changed to safeguard the system and the quality of water.
Step 4: Reverse Osmosis System
This system utilizes high pressure and a semipermeable membrane which
only allows pure water molecules to pass through, actually purifying the
water at the molecular level. Bacteria, organic compounds, minerals, chlorine
and other contaminants can not pass through the membrane and are disposed
of in a waste stream. The membrane remains clean because the contaminants
are washed down the drain. Only fresh, pure water results.
Step 5: Ozonation
Ozone (O2) is a derivative of oxygen and is one of the strongest
oxidizers known. It has been used for water purification in Europe for
over 90 years. Ozone is produced by an ozone generator and injected into
the water in the ozone contact tower. Ozone will destroy virtually any
organic compound, biological contaminant or virus that it encounters. All
water in the storage tank is constantly recirculated through the ozone
contact tower to maintain purity and freshness.
Step 6: Activated Carbon Post Filter
The purified drinking water that flows from the sealed storage tank
on demand passes through the activated carbon post filter. This filter
"polishes" or removes any tastes or odors the pure water may have picked
up from the storage tank, piping or other processing equipment.
Step 7: Ultraviolet Sterilization
Ultraviolet (UV) light has the unique ability to destroy all micro-organisms
and bacteria which are exposed to it. Ultraviolet sterilization is an additional
safeguard we use to ensure that your water is free from any bacterial contamination.
