Filter Type
- Reverse Osmosis – This process features removing dissolved inorganic solids using your household water pressure (typically around 50 to 60 psi). Reverse osmosis filtration pushes tap water through a semipermeable membrane filter.
- Carbon Filtration – The principle of chemical absorption removes contaminants and impurities from tap water using activated carbon filters. Just a pound of activated carbon offers a surface area of around 100 acres; therefore, activated carbon is extremely efficient as a filter. Active charcoal carbon filters will remove chlorine, odors, sediment, other volatile organic compounds, and improve the taste of water.
Filter System Size
- Point Of Use (Under The Sink) – Point Of Use installation eliminates the bulky filters on the ends of your kitchen faucet arm. This type of install is the most cost-effective installation for individual sinks.
- Whole House System – These are the most complete and complex systems for your home. Typically, whole house installations are used when you care about your home water quality in more than two locations in your house. The installation of these systems is identical for all filter types since they differ only in the way water is filtered and the contaminants they eliminate.
Pre-Treatment Summary Chart
| Recommended Feed Water Range | Potential Effect | Pre-Treatment Solution |
|---|---|---|
| TDS ( < 2000 ppm ) | Reduced production rate. Increased salt passage | Contact Florida Water Analysis/ Replace water source |
| Hardness( < 6 grains/gal ) | Scaling of the membrane surface. Reduced production rate | Automatic Softener |
| Total Iron ( < .05 ppm ) | Reduced production rate. Fouling of the membrane surface. Iron deposits in equipment | Iron remover ( > 5 ppm ). Softener ( levels < 5 ppm ) |
| Tannins ( < .5 ppm ) | Reduced production rate. Fouling of membrane surface | Softener with organic scavenger resin |
| Chlorine ( < .1 ppm ) | Permanent membrane damage. Increased salt passage | Carbon filter |
| pH ( 5.5 – 9.5 ) | Internal corrosion. Lime scaling in equipment. Plumbing damage | Replace the water source. Adjust pH |
| Organic or Microbiological Activity ( 0 ) | Reduce production rate. Fouling of the membrane surface. The sliming of pre-treatment equipment, odor | UV Disinfection by 1-micron filtration. Well chlorination |
| Manganese ( < .05 ppm ) | Reduce production rate. Fouling of membrane surface | Manganese Greensand Filter |
| Hydrogen Sulphide( < 0 ) | Rotten egg odor. Internal corrosion | Iron remover ( < 1 ppm ) Manganese Greensand Filter ( > 1 ppm ) |
