Water Softeners - RO15BP
WATERCARE'S REVERSE OSMOSIS RO15BP SYSTEMWhen low pressure and/or high TDS feedwater are present
The RO15BP Drinking Water System uses a combination of filtration methods to
reduce unwanted contaminants in your water supply. Basically, it reduces the
overall mineral content of your water; and reduces chlorine and sediment. It may
also reduce other contaminants.
The Pre Filter reduces sediment and chlorine. Particles such as silt, rust and scale
are removed here. The pre-filter has a nominal 5 micron rating. As well as improving
the water for drinking, it protects the RO membrane and pump.
The RO Membrane is the heart of the system. It is designed to reduce the dissolved
mineral content of the water. Minerals picked up by the water in the environment are
measured as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). In the reverse osmosis process, dissolved
minerals are separated from the incoming water (feed water) to produce the product
water. The excess minerals are rinsed to the drain (reject water). The membrane is a
specially fabricated semi-permeable film.
The Booster Pump is unique to residential RO systems. Its use in this system
serves to overcome the drawbacks to many similar systems by boosting the feed-
water pressure. In doing so, it eliminates the poor product water quantity and quality
associated with other systems. The higher pressure enables many users who either
have little or no pressure, or very high TDS, to use an RO system. The RO15BP can
reduce a greater amount of product water where feedwater pressure and TDS are
moderate to low.
The Post Filter reduces tastes or odors which may pass through the system or may
develop in the product tank (waterkeeper). It acts as a "polishing" filter.
The Watersaver Valve and Pressure Switch work together to shut off the system
when the waterkeeper is full. This prevents reject water from running to the drain when
product water is no longer being made.
The UltroWater RO15BP reduces the following water
contaminants in drinking water:
Nitrate
Chlorine
Total Dissolved Solids
