Quick Answer:<\/strong> A 5-stage reverse osmosis system includes: Stage 1 (sediment filter, 5 micron), Stage 2 (carbon block filter), Stage 3 (second carbon filter), Stage 4 (RO membrane, 0.0001 micron, removes 95-99% of dissolved solids), Stage 5 (post-carbon polishing filter). This configuration removes sediment, chlorine, VOCs, heavy metals, dissolved salts, nitrates, fluoride, and most other regulated contaminants.<\/div>\n

\\n\\nSome reverse osmosis systems just hit different. They give you the best results, even with really polluted water. A 5-stage RO water system is truly advanced, giving you super high quality H2O. Why not? It tackles almost every impurity out there, making your drinking water safe and great-tasting.<\/span>\\n<\/span>\\n<\/b>Reverse Osmosis<\/b>\\n<\/span>This process is an unbeatable champion for purifying water. For decades, it’s shown incredible results. Taking the natural process of osmosis and reversing it for purification was probably the <\/span>best technological advancement<\/span><\/a> of the 20th century. With 99% effectiveness, the process still impresses the industry with how much it can do and how it keeps getting better. For a few years now, we’ve improved the process to deal with any kind of impurity, which is why we use a 5-stage RO.<\/span>\\n<\/span>\\n<\/span>What is a 5 Stage RO?<\/b>\\n<\/span>As the name says, this specific <\/span>reverse osmosis<\/span><\/a> system has 5 stages, and each one makes your water cleaner.<\/span>\\n<\/span>\\n<\/span>Sediment filter:<\/b> Made of polypropylene, this filter grabs big impurities in your water, like soil, dust, dirt, tiny pebbles, and even rust. It catches anything over 5 microns.<\/span>\\n<\/span>Carbon filter:<\/b> Granulated activated carbon works to filter out chlorine and positively charged elements. This gets rid of bad smells and tastes in your water.<\/span>\\n<\/span>Second polypropylene layer:<\/b> This is an extra step, just in case the first sediment filter didn’t get everything. It removes impurities down to 1 micron, clearing out any remaining sediments.<\/span>\\n<\/span>Osmotic membrane:<\/b> This is where the magic really happens. Water pushes through a semi-permeable membrane that removes fluoride, organic and inorganic compounds, total dissolved salts, and more. You get pure, safe drinking water after this stage.<\/span>\\n<\/span>Second carbon filter:<\/b> A second carbon filter is there to take away any lingering bad taste that might come after the osmotic membrane. Sometimes, we swap this stage out for remineralization filters that put back essential calcium and magnesium minerals lost during the process.<\/span>\\n<\/span>\\n<\/span>When should you use this RO?<\/b>\\n<\/span>People mostly use this RO for homes, especially in areas near factories, <\/span>brackish sources<\/span><\/a>, or coasts. That’s because water in those places often has a lot of impurities and needs the most advanced RO to clean it up. It’s also a top choice for aquariums, offices, restaurants, labs, and institutions because of its high quality. This system boasts 99% efficiency at removing contaminants like chlorine, fluoride, TDS, mercury, microorganisms, lead, cadmium, and chromium.
