5 Micron filter used to remove suspended particles such as dust, dirt, clay, sand, and other debris from the water.
The life span of 5 micron filter primarily depends on the quality of water. However it need to be replaced every three months.
it is used to extra safety of RO machine.
It is not responsible for changing the TDS, taste or smell of water. It is one of the preventive filtration methods and does not remove chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, or dissolved solids in water.
the filter remove sediments, particles of more than 5 micron size and then send the water for further purification,
this way we can reduce the complaints of RO machine. A long life of RO filter means a low maintenance cost for consumers.
Sediment filter is used to remove particles of morethan 3 micron size. usually it have to replace within 12 months.
it is the first stage of RO purifiying system. It prohibits all the solid particulate from entering your filtered water and enhances the filtration efficiency of RO membrane.
It is not responsible for changing the TDS, taste or smell of water. It is one of the preventive filtration methods and does not remove chemicals, bacteria, viruses, or dissolved solids in water.
Pre-Carbon filter weeds out the impurities as much as possible before water passes to the RO membrane.
This is mainly because the carbon filters have an advantage of a higher surface area where all the dissolved substances get attracted to the carbon particles on the surface.
At this stage, the carbon filter is referred to as a Pre-RO Carbon filter.
Pre-RO Carbon filter also improves the life of the RO membrane by protecting it from chlorine which is known to damage the membrane by opening its pores.
As water passes through the carbon filter, it still contains some impurities like TDS,
heavy metals that need to be purified. For this purpose, more stages of purification like RO and UV are added to ensure filtered water is entirely purified and is safe for consumption.
The most important of these filters is the RO membrane. This membrane is a thin,
semi-permeable layer that has minute pores on it to allow only pure water to pass through it.
The impure water on the other hand is released out of the water purifier as reject water.
The input water is pushed through the RO membrane with a very high pressure. This high pressure ensures that only purified water passes through the membrane.
Thus, leaving behind various impurities, salts, heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants on its surface.
A RO membrane plays an important role in the water purification. Let's read about these in detail:
1. Sweetens the taste of water by removing excess TDS
Total dissolved solids (TDS) include a concentrated level of particles such as inorganic salts and compounds in the water.
The presence of TDS in water alters its taste and makes it saltier. An RO water purifier brings down the TDS in water by 90%,
improving the taste of water and making it sweeter.
2. Removes harmful chemicals and disease-causing impurities
Harmful contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and heavy metals may be naturally present in the water and drastically affect one’s health.
These impurities can lead to various water-borne diseases such as diarrhea, typhoid, cholera, etc. Hence, to avoid such illnesses,
one must make sure that the water consumed is 100% safe and purified.
3. Suitable to purify water from all sources
RO is one of the most sophisticated water purification technologies.
Whether your source of water is Ground Water/Borewell, Tank, or Municipal,
RO water purifier guarantees 100% safe and pure drinking water.
After water gets filtered through RO and UV purification stages, another layer of carbon filter is added,
called as Post-RO Carbon filter. Post-RO Carbon filter usually forms the last stages of water purification.
This carbon filter purification stage helps in enhancing the quality of the water. It acts as a polisher,
further improving the taste of purified water.Activated carbon used in Pureit carbon blocks are made of high-quality coconut shell
which are manufactured by unique patented technology to provide maximum active surface area for absorption of these impurities.
