Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water purification technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove more than 99% of contaminates leaving you with water of high purity consisting of almost only water molecules.
Reverse Osmosis systems consist of multiple stages of pre-filtration and often post filtration. Such steps include Sediment removal, Chlorine and Heavy-Metals removal prior to reaching the membrane. Membrane pore sizes are typically between 0.1 to 1.0 nm (0.0001 - 0.001 um).
Reverse Osmosis is a process where water is demineralised using a semi permeable membrane at high pressure. Your normal filtration units will only reduce certain contaminants such as silt, rust, chlorine and bacteria (up to 96%). Reverse Osmosis machines will purify your water up to 99.9% or 0.001 microns, thus removing other dissolved contaminants like Colloid, lead, mercury, germs and other metals.
Stage 1 : Polypropylene Cartridge – 5 Micron Superfine Filter – Removes solid particles & impurities i.e. silt & rust.
Stage 2 : Granular Activated Carbon (UDF) Filter – Absorbs odours, chemicals & chlorine.
Stage 3 : Carbon Block Filter (CTO) – removes additional chlorine & water decolourants.
Stage 4 : Reverse Osmoses Membrane – Removes up to 0.0001 microns colloid, metals, germs & bacteria.
Stage 5 : Post Carbon Filter (T33) – improves water taste.
Faucet and all necessary installation fittings are included.
Operating Pressure: 50 - 100 psi (3.5 to 6.5 bar)
If your water pressure is above 6 bar you will need a pressure reducing valve to keep your pressure within the operating pressure limits.
This unit produces up to 50 Gallons (189 litres) every 24 hours.
10L Storage tank is included but not shown in picture.
This unit has a pump, an electrical outlet is required nearby.
We recommend that a plumber install the unit as a pressure reducing valve may be required.

- This unit produces up to 400 Gallons or 1500 litres every 24 hours.
- This unit has two pumps, an electrical outlet is required nearby.
- This unit has four VONTRON 100GPD membranes.
- This unit includes a 40LT RO Storage Tank and a Standard Elegant RO Faucet (not shown in picture).
- This unit can be modified with a float switch to fill up larger tanks, such as JoJo Tanks, as seen in this photo.
We recommend that a plumber install the unit as a pressure reducing valve may be required.
You can replace the 100GPD membranes with 125GPD membranes to get up to 500GPD/1900LPD from this unit.

Operating Pressure: 50 - 100 psi (3.5 to 6.5 bar)
If your water pressure is above 6 BAR you will need a pressure reducing valve to keep your pressure within the operating pressure limits.
If your water pressure is below 3.5 BAR the RO will not produce any water, in this case you need the RO with a booster pump, if unsure you should rather buy the RO with the pump.
This unit produces up to 50 Gallons (189 litres) every 24 hours where water pressure is at least 5 BAR.
10L Storage tank.
This unit does not have a pump and does not use electricity.
We recommend that a plumber install the unit as a pressure reducing valve may be required.
