Residential Reverse Osmosis Systems are best purchased from companies like KS Water Treatment, of Toronto, which have been industry leaders in delivering, installing and maintaining such equipment for a numbers of years. With more than 1,000 satisfied customers throughout Ontario, KS Water Treatment is very confident in its ability to stand firmly behind the promised guarantee of high quality, excellent service and prompt installation. Residential Reverse Osmosis Systems are becoming increasingly popular among both urban and rural communities around Southern Ontario. The importance of purified water, in our opinion, is something that is not advertised as much as it should be in the vicinity of large cities such as Toronto. This is something we seek to change. It is our staunch belief that every homeowner should opt for a Reverse Osmosis System for themselves and their family.
Purifying your water source, whether it is city or well water, is critical. There are many dissolved solids in all incoming water, irrespective of geographic location. Reverse Osmosis is very efficacious in removing 98-99% of all ions, chemicals, organics and particles found dissolved in inlet water. This includes such species as Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Hexavalent and Trivalent Chromium, Copper, Cysts, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba, Fluoride, Giardia, Lead, Nitrate, Nitrite, Perchlorate, Radium 226/228, Selenium, Turbidity, Toxoplasma and others.
Typical Residential Reverse Osmosis Systems are comprised of a manifold, 4-gallon storage tank (metal or plastic) and a thin spout metal faucet. Although there are many different looking manifolds associated with various Reverse Osmosis Systems, the overall process is identical. There are 3, 4, 5 and 7-stage Reverse Osmosis Systems available in the marketplace. Following are a few examples:
Every Residential Reverse Osmosis System contains at least one carbon block pre-filter, one sediment filter and the Reverse Osmosis membrane. Further, some larger systems contain multiple carbon block filters or granular activated carbon filters. Below are pictures of typical pre and post filters, as well as the Reverse Osmosis Membrane:
Due to the high-pressure nature of the process of Reverse Osmosis, a very slow stream of ultra-pure water is constantly produced and stored in a metal or plastic tank for convenient dispensing. Usually, a 4-gallon storage tank accompanies Residential Reverse Osmosis Systems. However, in many cases, customers have requested multiple storage tanks or even larger ones. Many times, we tee off the pure Reverse Osmosis permeate line to a fridge or cooler in the home. It is in situations like this that the extra storage tanks are more applicable. Below are a few examples of different sized tanks for Reverse Osmosis Water storage:
The final component of a Residential Reverse Osmosis System is the thin spouted faucet. There are many styles and finishes of Reverse Osmosis faucet available. Many customers choose to match their appliances to the faucet that comes with our Residential Reverse Osmosis System. Following are a few of the faucets available:
