Diy Reverse Osmosis
is proud to offer a high quality system that can improve your family's
quality of life by supporting healthy living. Designed to meet the needs of any
household, this DIY
Reverse Osmosis System offers a safe, effective, and easy-to-install
means of purifying tap water. This technologically advanced water filtration system
uses a reverse osmosis process to concentrate impurities and dispose of them: resulting
in healthy, fresh-tasting drinking water. The heart of the Aqua Rich System is a
Reverse Osmosis Membrane with 0.001 micron precision filter - it removes bacteria,
heavy metals, salt, detrimental mineral substances, dissolved matter, and chemicals
that are found in tap water. This
Reverse Osmosis filtration unit has many health
and environmental benefits but it is also very helpful for those families watching
their budget. Economically-minded households can have a constant flow of quality
water while saving nearly $400.00/year just by replacing bottled water with filtered
water.

Reverse Osmosis System Just buy a Reverse Osmosis System and a Filter
Plan together and we'll deduct $100 instantly upon check out.
What? The
Filter Plan automatically charges your account on file and sends out the necessary
filters when you need them (one to two filters every few months).
Why? With
each our filter plans the cost per filter is significantly less than purchasing
them individually. Also, there is no need to remember when it is time to repurchase
and also prevents over purchasing for lower usage households.
How? Just
select your family size to determine the correct frequency of filter shipments to
keep your water clean and loved ones healthy.

Filtered Water:
- Eliminates chlorine-resistant bacteria
- Removes chlorine which can cause cancers of the digestive system
- The R.O. machine works to remove fluoride, a chemical additive that is found in
most municipality water systems. The usage of fluoride in water (referred to as
fluoridation) has been the source of contention and debate regarding its health
benefits.
- Provides clean water for drinking, cooking, and dishwashing
- Removes lead which can cause learning disabilities in children
- Removes 2,100 known toxins found in drinking water
- Reduces risk of birth defects from contaminated drinking water
- Protects children's developing immune systems
- Treats water at the point of use
Bottled Water:
- Follows the looser guidelines set by the FDA, not the EPA
- Is tested for microbiological contaminants only once per week
- Is not required to be tested for certain chlorine-resistant bacteria
- May be simply bottled tap water (according to a study of 103 brands of bottled water)
- Can be contaminated by the chemicals in the plastic container
- Costs an average of over $1 a bottle, or $7 billion per year for American consumers
Benefits of Filtered Water
Most people are aware that tap water still contains contaminants and that it should
be further treated before drinking. But how much of a difference does it really
make? Filtration removes lead, chlorine, and bacteria, all of which are harmful
to the body, inciting disease and even affecting cells on a molecular level. Chlorine
especially can cause various cancers of the digestive system, and filtered water
can reduce this risk. Similarly, filtration units can eliminate chlorine-resistant
bacteria, which are not eliminated at municipal water treatment plants because the
process there relies on chlorination of the water. Filtered tap water also provides
clean water for cooking. How many people put tap water ice cubes in their favorite
drink? The contaminants are still present, but a filtration unit would ensure clean
water in all situations. Clean water is exceptionally important for children whose
immune systems are still developing and cannot combat the toxins and contaminants
potentially present in drinking water; filtration can remove the 2,100 known toxins
that can be found in drinking water. In fact, the EPA notes that lead in drinking
water may contribute to learning disabilities in children. They also note that toxins
in drinking water can lead to birth defects when consumed by pregnant women. Home
filtration allows the water to be cleaned at the point of use. When water is treated
in a municipal water plant, it may have hundreds of miles of pipeline to travel
through before it gets to your faucet, all the while picking up contaminants present
in the pipelines.
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis water treatment was developed more than 40 years as a means of creating
clean freshwater from saltwater. It was recognized as a viable alternative to expensive
and energy wasteful water treatments, and produced for home use. Osmosis is the
process by which water will travel through a permeable membrane in order to balance
salinity on both sides of the membrane. Reverse osmosis forces water through the
permeable membrane in order to create a solution of fresh water on one side, and
a saline solution on the other. This membrane also removes lead, manganese, iron,
calcium, fluoride, and other contaminants with larger molecules. Because reverse
osmosis does not eliminate smaller molecules, we have designed our system to be
a multi-filtration unit. The multi-filtration design allows our system to remove
contaminants with physical obstruction and chemical absorption. Chemical absorption
is the single most effective means of removing contaminants because it forces contaminants
to break their bond with water and adhere to the filter instead. Filters or a combination
of filters, that combine these two processes are the single most effective means
of purifying water. Filtrations systems that use these processes remove chlorine,
volatile organic compounds, and chlorine resistant bacteria.
