Reverse Osmosis Systems
FilterSource is pleased to offer two Reverse Osmosis systems, designed for non-drinking water purposes. These systems are perfect for making small to medium amounts of water required for different applications, including:
- Aquariums (prior to adding chemicals)
- EDM makeup water
- Laboratory
- Equipment washdown
- Pre-Deionization
We don't pretend to be experts at aquariums - our favorite fish are served on a platter with rice and a dry wine. But we've been building these systems for a local aquarium supply store for several years and are ready to offer them to the general public.
Minimalist RO
The Minimalist RO system is suitable when 10-20 gallons of RO quality water a week is required. The system is simple, consisting of a prefilter (combination carbon and sediment) followed by a 36 GPD TFC membrane. Collect the product water (green), and send the reject water (red) to the drain. Reject line flow restrictor helps increase the product/reject ratio, minimizing waste. A faucet diverter valve is included. Depending on the pressure, temperature and quality of your incoming water (use of potable feed is recommended), the prefilter should make 500-700 gallons of RO water before requiring replacement. The membrane should last 2-5 years depending on volume and incoming water characteristics. There are no threaded connections that might leak or crack! No tools - other than your thumbnail - required for changing filters! Directions are included.
| Minimalist RO: | 1 RO | $75.00 each |
| 4 ROs | $260.00 (save $10/RO) | |
| 12 ROs | $660.00 (save $20/RO) |
Standard RO
The Standard RO system is suitable for those applications requiring up to 50 gallons of RO quality water each day. The system includes a 1µ sediment prefilter, a ½µ 20,000 gallon-rated carbon prefilter (CBC), and a 36 GPD membrane, all mounted on a painted steel bracket. With an open storage tank, the system can often make more water than the membrane's rating indicates. A flow restrictor on the reject water helps increase the product/reject ratio, minimizing waste. The system should make 5000-10,000 gallons of product water before the carbon filter is exhausted; we recommend that you replace both prefilters at least annually. The Standard RO features all quick-connect fittings; there are no threaded connections that might leak or crack! A faucet diverter valve is included.
| Standard RO: | 1 RO | $109.00 each |
| 3 ROs | $297.00 (save $10/RO) | |
| 9 ROs | $801.00 (save $20/RO) |
