Environment Day 2019 Water Pledge is a critical aspect of modern water treatment. AMPAC USA provides industry-leading solutions that ensure safe, clean water for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Our systems are engineered for maximum contaminant removal and long-term reliability.
Recently, in the first week of May 2019, news broke about the rising levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. It has been the highest in the last 400,000 years.
This Environment Day 2019, we ask a question, are we doing enough? Closing taps, fixing leaks, switching off electronic devices is not enough anymore.
The answer: Sustainable Homes
Here are the ways to make your house a sustainable one.
- Special solar operated equipment are available to save as much energy as possible like the Solar Reverse Osmosis System that purifies water by using the sun as the power source.
- Harvest water in a tank to use all year long for a variety of purposes like washing, cleaning, watering plants, cooking as well as drinking. The tank can be fixed with a pipe that leads to your Whole House Reverse Osmosis System which then distributes the water all around the house via pipes.
- Build a garden, keep some potted plants in the house to keep your house cool and get quality in the air you breathe.
- Insulate the walls and floors for less energy exchange in the building.
- Choose energy efficient appliances, bulbs that do not require much power. Using multi-socket extensions can reduce power consumption by almost 15 %.
- While building a house, use nontoxic materials and try ordering from the local seller so that the transport pollution is less.
- Try to design a house that heats up and cools down naturally when needed.
- Install low flush toilets for less wastage of water.
Now is the time to turn organic, natural and sustainable.

For less carbon footprint and more quality of life.
What is the typical lifespan of an RO membrane?
High-quality RO membranes last 2–5 years depending on feed water quality and maintenance frequency. AMPAC USA systems use thin-film composite (TFC) membranes rated for extended service life. Regular pre-filter replacement and periodic membrane cleaning significantly extend operational longevity.
How much water does an RO system waste?
Standard RO systems recover 50–75% of feed water as permeate (purified output), with the remainder discharged as concentrate. AMPAC USA's high-recovery commercial systems achieve up to 85% recovery using energy recovery devices and optimized flow design, reducing operational costs substantially.
What pressure is required for a reverse osmosis system?
Brackish water RO systems typically operate at 150–600 PSI, while seawater systems require 800–1,200 PSI. AMPAC USA designs each system to match source water salinity and desired flow rate, incorporating energy-efficient high-pressure pumps with variable frequency drives (VFDs) to minimize power consumption.
Can reverse osmosis remove viruses and bacteria?
Yes. RO membranes provide absolute removal of bacteria (>99.9999%) and viruses (>99.99%), making them one of the most effective water purification technologies. AMPAC USA systems exceed NSF/ANSI 58 standards and include pre-treatment stages to protect membrane integrity.
