Osmosis 1: Movement of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane. 2: A process of adsorption or diffusion suggestive of the flow of osmotic action. Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary

In English: Imagine you had a fish tank, separated in half by ordinary household plastic wrap, and you filled it on both sides with pure water. If you begin to add salt (or other contaminants) to either side, the water in the pure water side will gradually seep through the plastic wrap to the contaminated side until equilibrium is reached.

During REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO), significant pressure is applied to the contaminated (raw water) side. Clean water is forced from the contaminated side, through the membrane, to the clean side. The clean water is called permeate. The remaining water is called concentrate and will be discarded. The permeate is of REMARKABLY high quality. For nominal RO specifications, click here. After viewing the RO specs you will notice that the filter will remove about 85 to 95 percent of all contaminants in drinking water. What about the remaining 5 to 15 percent? Nearly every other company feels that this is adequate for you to consume.

Except us!

 

With the Aquathin DEIONIZATION (DI) process as a second stage purifier, the remaining contaminants, too fine to be filtered, are removed based on their electrical charge (ionically).

Lastly, there is a GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON (GAC) final stage process to remove any remaining low molecular weight substances, trace odors and to "polish" the final product. This produces a water quality virtually 100% free of any contaminants. It is SUPERIOR TO ANY OTHER FILTER AVAILABLE TODAY!

This final product is sent to a storage tank while awaiting consumption.
