Q: How will the 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 an d still get the full flavor. Concentrated beverages like orange
juice will taste tangier. You will probably be drinking a lot more water a s well,
since many people drink soda, Kool- Aid, concentrated juices, and beer as an
alternative to bad-tasting tap water. Also, eliminates most of th e lime
build up on drip coffee makers, preventing the need for frequent cleaning. No
longer will you find the white scum on the i nside of pans after boiling water.
Q: How much water does the system produce ?
Q: Don't people need minerals removed from the water ?
Q: What is the maintenance schedule for the System ?
Under ideal conditions, the RE1812-200 TFC membrane is rated at 400gallons
of production per day (400gpd a t 80psi). Under the average conditions, the
consumer can expect 70-9 5 gallon s of pro duct wa ter per day. But that's still a lot
of water for the average household's drinking and cooking requirements.
Most of th e minerals that we receive are from the foods we eat. Only a very
small percentage comes from the water we drink.
The three pre-filter cartridges shou ld be c hanged 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 sy stems comes with the
Extruded carbon filter.) Failure to chang e the cartridge every 6 months may
cause chlorine to destroy the membrane.
