Water FAQs

RO systems

What is reverse osmosis (RO)?

Is an RO unit like a distiller?

Do RO units waste a lot of water?

How does my RO system’s GPD rate affect filling speed?

Why is water pressure important for an RO system?

How does a Water Softener work?

Will a Water Softener make my water safe to drink?

How often should I add salt to the brine tank?

Why isn’t the salt in my brine tank going down?

How does a reverse osmosis (RO) storage tank work?

How can I check the pressure in my RO tank?

If the pressure is below 0.4 atm, pump it up using a bicycle pump.
If water leaks from the nipple, the tank membrane has ruptured and the tank needs replacement.

Both electronic and mechanical pressure gauges can be used for accurate measurement.

What should I do if my RO tank isn’t filling up due to low household water pressure?

How do I fix low pressure in my RO storage tank?

How long does an RO pressure tank last?

What is the difference between a water booster pump, permeate pump, and delivery pump?

Water Booster Pump: Increases water pressure to help systems like reverse osmosis (RO) work efficiently, especially when household water pressure is too low.
Permeate Pump: Improves RO efficiency by reducing water waste and using wastewater energy to push purified water into the storage tank, requiring no electricity.
Delivery Pump: Increases water pressure from the storage tank to the faucet or endpoint, ensuring a strong and consistent water flow.
