Reverse Osmosis System
NITR.O Whole House Reverse Osmosis System – Built Tough in Saskatchewan
Reverse Osmosis Systems is widely regarded as one of the most efficient water filtration processes, as it generates clean, great-tasting water. RO systems are used in different systems that involve filtration for whole houses, faucets, aquariums, and restaurants. It does not matter what type of water you begin with, there is most probably an RO system that will fit your requirements. Valley Water Solutions introduces NITR.O Whole House Reverse Osmosis System that is built in Saskatchewan and ideal for both commercial and residential use.
Here, you will get to know about reverse osmosis systems, how they can benefit you, and what their uses are. You will also get to know about the best Reverse Osmosis Systems from Valley Water Solutions.
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis is a multiple-stage water treatment procedure that eliminates impurities from unfiltered water, or feed water, when pressure compels it through a semipermeable membrane. Residential reverse osmosis systems use a minimum of three stages of treatment to minimize levels of virtually all impurity types.
In the last stage, the RO membrane, water goes through the more concentrated side (more impurities) of the membrane to the less concentrated side (fewer impurities) to generate clean drinking water. The fresh water generated is called the permeate. The contaminated water left aside is called the waste or brine.
How Does a Reverse Osmosis System Work?
A reverse osmosis system eliminates deposits and chlorine from water with a prefilter before it compels water to pass through a semipermeable membrane to eliminate dissolved solids. After water passes out from the RO membrane, it goes through a post filter to furnish the drinking water before it goes into a dedicated faucet. Reverse osmosis systems have different levels based on their number of prefilters and post filters.
Stages of RO systems
The RO membrane is the central point of a reverse osmosis system, but an RO system also involves various kinds of filtration. RO systems are built of 3, 4, or 5 stages of filtration.
Every reverse osmosis water system consists of a deposit filter and a carbon filter along with the RO membrane. The filters are regarded as either prefilters or post filters based on whether water goes through them before or after it passes through the membrane.
Each kind of system consists of one or more of the following filters:
Sediment filter: | Eliminates deposits like dirt, dust, and rust. |
Carbon filter: | Minimizes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine, and other impurities that provide water a bad taste or odor. |
Semipermeable membrane: | Eliminates up to 98% of total dissolved solids (TDS). |
When water initially enters an RO system, it passes through prefiltration. Prefiltration typically involves a carbon filter and a sediment filter to eliminate deposits and chlorine that could get stuck or destroy the RO membrane.
Next, water passes through the reverse osmosis membrane where dissolved elements, even too microscopic to be seen with an electron microscope, are eliminated.
After filtration, water moves to the storage tank, where it is stored until required. A reverse osmosis system carries on to filter water until the storage tank is full and then shuts off.
Once you turn on your drinking water faucet, water moves out of the storage tank, passes through another post filter to furnish drinking water before it gets to your faucet.
Benefits of Reverse Osmosis System
A reverse osmosis system is one of the most comprehensive procedures of filtration. It eliminates 98% of dissolved solids, which makes it clean and clear to drink. A water distiller is the only different drinking water system that also remove TDS, but it’s less effective than an RO system.

FAQs on Reverse Osmosis Systems for Homes
Q1. Do reverse osmosis systems require a booster pump?
A: Reverse osmosis booster pumps are important if your home’s water pressure is under 40 psi. If your water pressure is between 40 and 50 psi and your water’s TDS levels are over 500 ppm, you should also utilise a booster pump. If you do not use an RO booster pump and you have low water pressure, your RO system will not generate water as appropriately as it can.
Q2. Do reverse osmosis systems require a permeate pump?
A: Permeate pumps lets reverse osmosis systems to run more effectively, but not all RO systems are built to use one. If your system is built for a permeate pump, it will let your system’s efficacy to accelerate by up to 80 per cent. It stores water by using energy from left out water to pump permeate water to the storage tank. This lets your RO system to use up to 80 percent less water than a system without a permeate pump.
Q3. What pretreatment does a reverse osmosis system require?
A: Pretreatment can vastly impact the life of a reverse osmosis membrane when water quality is low. When a few specific minerals, bacteria, chemicals, or other substances pollute water as it moves through an RO membrane, they can absorb or form sediments on the membrane. The formation of impurities in an RO membrane is called as membrane fouling, and the buildup of inorganic sediments is called as membrane scaling. To avoid membrane fouling and scaling, you must eliminate the impurities before they can harm your RO membrane.
Q4. How to prevent membrane scaling in a reverse osmosis system?
A: Reverse osmosis membrane scaling can be resolved by a few pretreatment solutions. Two common residential pretreatment solutions for dealing with membrane scaling are water softeners and scale inhibitors.
