Doesn't matter if it's water for aqua-cultures or water for drinking, here are five things you should know about Reverse Osmosis systems!
Chlorines, chloramines, hydrolysable phosphates and ortho-phosphates, VOC's and pesticides, all found in tap water, will all pass through an R/O membrane unless pre-filtered.
If tap water's temp is below 75 degrees when using low pressure, 65psi or lower,R/O system,efficiency drops drastically to LESS THAN 10%. Meaning 90% of what your trying to filter gets through.
WASTE! For every gallon of R/O filtered water generated, 3 to 5 gallons of water is flushed down the drain. Many water strapped regions are moving to block this waste.
Reverse osmosis systems are EXTREMELY SLOW. Good systems produce 1 to 2 gallon of water an HOUR! Cheeper systems less.
A well functioning R/O membrane will not only remove the hardness from your tap water it is also capable of stripping electrons off water molecules making the filtered water acidic, (pH less than 7). Making it unhealthy for drinking unless supplimented.
