HOW does a REVERSE OSMOSIS Drinking Water System WORK?
Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water systems look complex, but do you every wonder how they work? There are all kinds of filters and hoses and a tank but how can the tank possibly work with only one hose attached? If you want to learn how a home reverse osmosis drinking water system produces super pure, great tasting drinking water for your family this RU-vid video is for you and I’m going to show you how, right now!
First a bit of history. Reverse Osmosis was first invented by the US Navy during World War II to purify sea water into drinking water for use on submarines. So you know that it’s particularly effective at removing minerals like sodium from your water, in fact up to 95% of the mineral content is removed!
A Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System is perfect for you if you’re looking for an inexpensive source of "super pure" drinking water for your home. For a Reverse-Osmosis system to operate flawlessly the raw water needs to be pre treated to make sure there is no hydrogen sulphide, iron, manganese or hardness present which would quickly foul the membrane. waterestore.ca/collections/re...
A Reverse Osmosis system is connected to your cold water plumbing. The process starts out by passing your water through a Sediment Filter to remove dirt particles in your families water before going through a Carbon Filter to remove chemicals like chlorine or chloramines. People always ask why most Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems have two carbon filters, one right after another, that’s to give the carbon enough contact time to remove all of those chemicals from your water source.
Then the water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane which allows pure water to pass through it, while rejecting the contaminants that are too large to pass through the tiny pores in the membrane. As this water is being purified the membrane to continually cleaning itself, washing the rejected contaminants away from the membrane and down the drain. Because Reverse Osmosis water is produced relatively slowly it needs to be stored in its own small pressure tank to make sure that there will be plenty of water to be dispensed quickly from the faucet for your family. A dedicated faucet is installed at the kitchen sink to dispense the Reverse Osmosis water and if you have a refrigerator with an ice maker and water dispenser the Reverse Osmosis system can be connected to it, giving you cold "super pure" water as well as nice clear ice cubes which leave no residue when they melt in your glass. waterestore.ca/products/hum-w...
Oh and by the way, why does the tank have only water line going to it? There is a “T” connector after the last filter so water can flow either to the tank or the faucet or potentially both. When the tank is filling and no water is being dispensed through the faucet water flows into the tank. When water is flowing to the faucet it primarily comes from the tank with a small amount coming straight from the RO system.

Thanks for clearing something up for me. I had the wrong idea of how the system works and have heard of horror stories where water bills increased by hundreds of dollars. I thought that once the tank was full, no more water could cross the membrane and the incoming water (under tap water pressure) would bounce off the now impenetrable membrane and just flow out the drain pipe. In other words, no shut off valve. Thanks for explaining it!

Thanks for filling all the gaps in my understanding. I watched an installation video for my system and was scratching my head at the end of it. I knew how to make all the proper connections, but it wasn’t clear to me how clean water flowed into and out of the storage tank via the same line. Thanks also for integrating the automatic shutoff valve into your explanation. My installation video said nothing about why the tube coming out of the 3rd filter stage was labeled “to ASV,” or even what that did.

As a machinist mate in the aft engine room one of the watches I stood was on the evaporator turning sea water into fresh . Which was basically a small boiler fired by steam .

Thank you, Gary, for this very helpful explanation! I recently had an RO system installed and how it works was a mystery to me - especially how it works with only one hose to/from the tank. Your explanation made it very clear. The system I have is a little simpler. There are two carbon filters and the RO membrane is the middle of the three (not on top). But you explain the basics in straightforward terms I can apply to my system. Thanks again!

Are there simpler systems for RO that skip the upfront filters?

No there really are not and you will find that in spite of those whole house filters the filters in the RO system itself still get quite dirty, so you need a 5 stage RO system.

I wouldn't recommend drinking well water even with big blue filters and a UV light. Is a softener being used to keep that UV light sleeve from getting calcium buildup?

Best tutorial, but I’m perplexed: Our RO system faucet is a 3 tube design. We want to replace it with a single inlet (water) design as it matches our sink better. Can we simply route the black “purge” line directly to drain vs. having to pass through the RO spigot? In simpler words can I bypass the RO spigot. Forgive my lack of nomenclature. Thanks, JB

Will an RO help with manganese in the water supply? I know an RO needs higher pressure to work properly, we are on a well with 60psi. Would we need a booster pump, and can it be hooked directly up to the fridge instead of a faucet? your video is very informative. Thank you so much
@GarytheWaterGuy
@GarytheWaterGuy 2 года назад
Yes, it will remove manganese, 60 psi is plenty, if your TDS is higher than 1,000 ppm you will need a booster pump, yes, you can go straight to the fridge but how will you fill your coffee carafe? You would need a dedicated faucet at the kitchen sink.

Great video Gary, thank you, just a couple of questions though, how often do I need to change any of the filters, and secondly, in one of your other videos regarding bottled water, you said we should consider how long the water has spent in the bottle from when it is bottled to when it is drunk by the consumer, so is this the same with the "water tank for the RO system, with it being plastic is all I'm thinking? 👍
@GarytheWaterGuy
@GarytheWaterGuy 3 месяца назад
Filters need to be changed every 12 months. Yes, we want to minimize the contact time with water in any container but since you are using water from this every day or at least every month, there is no concern.

You would need to add tanks to accumulate the water and then repressurize it to feed your system. Thsi video explains how a commercial system works. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SCANIla-NAU.html

After listening to you RO filter video, I suspect our RO system uses proprietary filters. Do you think it would be cost effective to change out the filter/membrane portion of the system for a non- proprietary filter system?

No, typically people wait until their old membrane is done and then get a whole new system.

Been in the water business full time for three weeks now. RO's are the most complicated water treatment to learn about. Also the most difficult to work on. Just like anything the best way to learn is to go hands-on. I've noticed there's more differences in models than just the membrane sometimes. Like the new model we install has an "absolute" filter. And the order is sediment, pre-carbon, membrane, absolute, and post-carbon (polishing). As I understand the absolute we use is just to take out one or two nasty things that the rest of the system isn't certified to take out. That's a pretty self-explanatory benefit if the absolute is preventing something nothing else will. So is the benefit of having dual pre-carbon filters that they don't have to be changed as often? Even if so that doesn't change the frequency of change on sediment. If you wanted the best of both worlds I suppose you could put another carbon filter in where the sediment usually goes and put a separate pre-filter for sediment before the whole unit. Perhaps that's what you would do if you were putting an RO in a house with hard, chlorinated city water and they weren't going to buy a softener and backwashing carbon filter? I'm really geeking out on this stuff. This will be my long-term career for sure.
@GarytheWaterGuy
@GarytheWaterGuy 4 года назад
The two carbon filters are for capacity but also contact time. An extra sediment filter will not remove hardness. If customer has hard water with out a softener (within reason) they would just need to replace the membrane more often but it would still work.
@gordoneigner7565
@gordoneigner7565 3 года назад
A question about this filter system that was described. Many carbon filters call for a 5 minute rinse after replacement I didn’t notice that you had a rinse step in the replacement video, should that be done to avoid membrane contamination?Also I was suprised to learn a little while back that the holding tanks only required about 6 psi.

Booster pump is only need if your water has a TDS of 1500 ppm or higher. You need at least 25 psi for this to work.

Great question! Years ago when I researched this product I was told that their performance was very poor. Just now when I went to look it up, the links to the specs page and manual go nowhere. I would research this product very carefully before spending any money on it. You are far better of with our HUM Water Saver 75 which although there still is some wasted water, it is far less than the others.

Hey. What does the fishing filter do? Also does this give water with no minerals at all? Is it bad for daily use?
@GarytheWaterGuy
@GarytheWaterGuy 2 года назад
The last filter is often referred to as a polishing filter. It cleans up any odor that may come from the water sitting in the tank. This sytem reduces the mnineral content by 90% so there are still minerals, just less. No it is great for daily use.
