Description of Four Major Sorts of H2o Treatment Techniques
In an effort to aid you determine your present drinking water remedy method or to assist you choose the new program which will very best match your wants, we have offered info about the following 4 varieties of drinking water purification and drinking water filtration programs.
Reverse Osmosis: Is a method for the reduction of dissolved ions (these kinds of as salts) from water in which strain is employed to drive liquid (drinking water) by way of a semi-permeable membrane, which will transmit the water but reject most other dissolved materials. When pressured in opposition to the membrane surface, the dissolved supplies are repelled, even though the water molecules are subtle via the membrane molecule by molecule, forming purer water on the other facet.

How Salty is Your Water?
ΦΙΛΤΡΑ ΝΕΡΟΥ ΤΙΜΕΣ is the standard term for all water more than one,000 ppm (mg/L) complete dissolved solids (TDS).
Drinking water Sort TDS (mg/L)
Microorganisms Elimination 99.9999%
Fresh

Brackish
Highly Brackish
Saline
Sea Drinking water
Brine <1,000
1,000 – 5,000
5,000 – 15,000
15,000 - 30,000
30,000 – 40,000
40,000 – 300,000+

Ultraviolet: Sunlight has long since been known to kill micro-organisms. The rays from the sun contain the UV *spectrum used in Ultraviolet Water Treatment Systems – although at much lower intensities. It is also referred to as either the Germicidal Spectrum or Frequency. The frequency used in killing micro-organisms is 254 nanometers (nm). The UV lamps used are designed specifically to have the highest amount of UV energy at this frequency.

Filtration: A process in which water passes through a water system that may include one or more filters for the purpose of removing turbidity, taste, color, iron or odor. ΦΙΛΤΡΑ ΝΕΡΟΥ can be loose media tank-type systems or cartridge devices. In general the process may include mechanical, adsorptive, neutralizing and catalyst/oxidizing filters.

Distillation: Is the process in which a liquid such as water is converted by heating, into a vapor state, and the vapor cooled and condensed to a liquid state and collected. ΦΙΛΤΡΑ ΝΕΡΟΥ is the process of removing the liquid (water) from its constituents or contaminants as compared to other processes where contaminants are removed from the water (liquid). Distilled water is water that has been purified by passing through one or more evaporation –condensation cycles and contains essentially no dissolved solids. Distillation requires a lot of energy to produce a small amount of purified water and we do not carry distillation systems.
