4 Stage Reverse Osmosis System
4 Stage Reverse Osmosis System
Reverse osmosis has long been considered the most comprehensive and permanent solution to some specific water problems. Installed under your sink, this 4-stage system will reduce to safe levels the following: mercury, lead, chlorine, cysts of cryptosporidium, giardia and entamoeba, nitrates, nitrites, barium, cadmium, chromium, sodium, copper, radium, fluoride, selenium, total dissolved solids and turbidity.
The first stage consists of a sediment/carbon pre-filter (5 microns), where particulate matter and chlorine are removed. The second stage is the heart of the system. There the water is forced against a thin film composite membrane which traps the impurities through reverse osmosis. At the third stage activated carbon aerates and freshens the water and sends it into a space-saving 2.1-gal. storage tank. At the final stage a carbon post filter "polishes" the water for the best taste possible. The result is ultra-filtered water on demand in your home.
The unit features flow rates of up to 10 gal./day, an automatic shut off valve that avoids wasting water, a stainless steel, lead-free faucet for the sink top and quick connect fittings. Professional installation recommended. Complete instructions are included. USA.
Unit measures 15 in. H x 14 in. W x 4 in. D. Tank measures 13 in. H. 9 in. Diameter. 20 lbs.
