Reverse Osmosis Water Purifiers
with a Difference
Permeate Pump System
With the Reverse Osmosis (RO) method, all but about 5-10%
of pollutants, (dependant on the type of membrane used and
other parameters) even those that are dissolved in solution
are extracted by the membrane and passed to the household
drainage system. R.O. systems, using no chemicals or additives,
produce clear polished water that tastes light and pleasant.
However in the process of removing the dissolved solids with
any R.O. membrane system, the pH of the product water can
lower and become more acidic. In the Diamond Spring R.O. system,
a special pH balancing media may be used to overcome this
problem. Its main purpose is to ensure that your purified
water is pleasant to taste.
We believe that the mineral salts in tap water are of little
use, having been mixed up with the wide variety of pollutants
now found in water supplies. However, a special mineral cartridge
may be added into the system to ‘energise’ the
water and introduce a trace amount of colloidal minerals into
the purified water.
Independent medical advisers in the United Kingdom tell us
that minerals that we need can not be found in a balanced
and wholesome form in the water we drink from the tap. A naturally
occurring mineral in water is calcium carbonate (CaCo2) which,
if present in large quantities, will fur up your arteries
as well as your kettle.
The Diamond Spring RO.2 system will produce between 30 to
35 gallons of pure water each day, more than enough for the
average family. Other models produce more - and systems can
be made to order that will produce up to 120 gallons.
The undersink system measures just 45 cm high, 33cm wide
and 13cm deep. It will fit into most undersink or other kitchen
cabinets without difficulty. The reservoir is 45cm high and
28cm diameter.
Electricity is not usually needed, unless the mains pressure
is particularly low. Then a special booster pump is required
and a power supply.
The system has an 'auto shut valve', This is a pressure activated
control valve that ensures the plant is automatically shut
off when the reservoir is full. It also has a 'flush valve’.
This is periodically opened to flush away any accumulated
deposits and debris from the membrane.
The only running costs arise from the replacement of the
two filters every six months. The reverse osmosis membrane
will last approximately 3/4 years (more frequently if the
feed water is of exceptionally poor quality, possibly less
frequently if a water softener has been installed).
