Reverse osmosis was originally designed to make sea water drinkable for the
navy. It is ideal for anyone on a low sodium diet. An R.O. membrane has a pore
size much smaller than bacteria virus, or the cryptosporidium parasite. When
functioning properly it will remove all microorganisms from tap water and produce
sterile 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 to pass 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.

Q: How will the PurePro series water affect mixed beverages?
Because reverse osmosis removes invisible contaminants that mask flavor, it
allows the natural taste of your beverages to come through. You will be able to
use less coffee and still get the full flavor. Concentrated beverages like orange
juice will taste tangier. You will probably be drinking a lot more water as well,
since many people drink soda, Kool-Aid, concentrated juices, and beer as an
alternative to bad-tasting tap water. Also, PurePro eliminates most of the lime
build up on drip coffee makers, preventing the need for frequent cleaning. No
longer will you find the white scum on the inside of pans after boiling water.
Q: How much water does the PurePro system produce ?
Under ideal conditions, the TW30-1812-50 TFC membrane is rated at 100
gallons of production per day. Under the average conditions, the consumer can
expect 100 gallons of product water per day. But that's still a lot of water for the
average household's drinking and cooking requirements.
Q: Don't people need minerals removed from the water ?
Most of the minerals that we receive are from the foods we eat. Only a very
small percentage comes from the water we drink.
Q: What is the maintenance schedule for the PurePro system ?
The three pre-filter cartridges should be changed every 6 months. The 5 micron
sediment cartridge filter is the first one; the second is a carbon cartridge filter,
and the third one is a 1 micron sediment filters. (some systems comes with the
Extruded carbon filter.) Failure to change the cartridge every 6 months may
cause chlorine to destroy the membrane.
