What is Reverse Osmosis System?

Reverse osmosis is a membrane separation process in which feed water flows along the membrane surface under pressure. Purified water permeates the membrane and is collected, while the concentrated water, containing dissolved and undissolved material that does not flow through the membrane, is discharged to the drain.

The key requirements of Reverse Osmosis process are a membrane and water under a pressure. Other requirements include pre- filtration to remove suspended impurities and carbon to remove chlorine (damages the membrane).

Most membranes remove 90-99+ % of the dissolved impurities depending on the impurity and the composition of water.

Reverse osmosis systems remove salts, microorganisms and many high molecular weight organics.

When should I use Reverse Osmosis System?

• If your water source is a bore well.
• If your water is hard and salty.
• If you are located near an industrial belt or any contaminated source, your ground water must be having harmful chemicals such as heavy metals, nitrates, arsenic, fluorides which even in traces are harmful.
• If anyone is hypertensive or has heart disease or weak kidneys, low sodium and low hardness water is essential not to aggravate the symptoms.

DOMESTIC USE

• Reverse Osmosis (RO) works by filtering water through a semi-permeable membrane that won't allow most contaminants to pass through. They generally use a process called cross flow, which ensures that they are constantly cleaning themselves. The down-side to RO is that typically, it will only recover between 5% and 15% of the water entering the system, the rest is waste.

• DisinfeDisinfection of water.

• The process is entirely environmental friendly as it does not produce any chemicals or contaminants to the environments.

• The process is reliable and proven over time. It is very stable and the water quality is consistent over time.

• The unit uses very little power, only requirement is adequate static water pressure. For most residential situation, the system may be install in-line without any added equipments.

• Small size and has a lot of flexibility in where to install the unit.

COMMERCIAL USE

Commercial reverse osmosis purification systems are effective for purifying larger quantities of water. They are sufficient for industrial needs and are used in desalination plants. High pressure pumps are used to supply sufficient pressure for the reverse osmosis process.

Reverse osmosis removes a wider range of impurities than most other methods of purification. They can be used alone, or in conjunction with other systems or softeners. Industrial reverse osmosis water filters are used in medical facilities, schools, day care centers and many other businesses requiring clean sources of water.Plants that produce soda use reverse osmosis systems to improve the taste of the final product. Commercial car washes sometimes use RO purification systems to give a spotless wash during the final rinse cycle. The process is effective for removing impurities that leave spotting during the car wash. Typically these minerals remain on the car when the water dries. A reverse osmosis system is so efficient that they are often used by medicalfacilities performing kidney dialysis. Pure water is essential for use in dialysis. If the water isn’t clean enough, illness or death can result. Several cases have been documented of patients becoming sick after dialysis with impure water.A few patients have died as a result of contaminants. Because these industrial purification systems are so effective at removing contaminants, they are used commercially and recommended for use in medical facilities. When shopping for commercial drinking water purification systems, there are a few things you should consider.The first is how much water you will use in an average day. You want a system that has an automatic system for flushing the membrane. Most industrial units are made with this feature. Consider your water temperature when choosing a machine. Warmer water results in more capacity of the filtering system. Raising the temperature of your water will increase the effectiveness of the reverse osmosis machine. The condition of your water is another important thing to think about. If your source is heavily contaminated, you may want to use reverse osmosis in conjunction with another method, such as ultraviolet light purifiers.

Annual Maintenance Charges (AMC)à 2500/-

ARK INDIA WATER SOFTENERS Soft water makes a difference you can feel and see, all over the house.

• In the Bathroom: Your soap and shampoo will lather better. Your hair and skin will feel noticeably cleaner, softer, and not as dry. And there will be no soap scum or mineral deposits to clean off sinks, showers, tubs and toilets.
• In the Laundry: Clothes will be softer, cleaner, whiter and brighter. Plus they will last longer. Using soft water and pure soap products increases the life of clothing, towels and liners up to 33%. Without hard water service issues, washing machines last longer, too.
• In the Kitchen: Dishes will clean up more easily, and be spot free, without the gray film glasses get when etched by mineral-laden water. Plus hands will feel softer and look better.
• Throughout the House: Water-using appliances will last longer and run better.Why? Because hot water heaters, washing machines and dishwashers used with hard water.
