Frequently Asked Questions
The advantages are:
– Smaller filter size
– Faster filtration rate
– No waste water will be generated
- Hassle‑free maintenance: Requires only routine servicing, which is fully covered by Life Solutions as part of our annual maintenance program.
- Ultra‑fine nanoscale filtration: Delivers the purest filtered water available for homes and offices.
- Exceptional removal efficiency: Eliminates up to 98% of unwanted molecules, ensuring clean and safe drinking water.
- Long‑lasting membranes: Typically last 2–3 years while maintaining consistent performance.
The disadvantages are:
– Rather short lifetime, needs to be replaced frequently
– Since the filter pole size is 0.1-5 micron, some material like heavy metal ions cannot be filtered
– Filtration performance drops overtime
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the most effective filtration technology available. The RO process works by separating contaminants from water by forcing the water through a semi-permeable membrane. This membrane acts as a physical barrier to removeall particles larger than 0.1 nanometer。
For example, the membrane may allow passage of water molecules, but blocks molecules of dissolved salt or other harmful contaminants. Unwanted molecules are blocked and discarded by the membrane while the ultra-pure water continues on for use or further treatment.
This process takes any unwanted molecules retained by the membrane and sweeps them away to your drain. This filtration process prevents the membrane’s surface from clogging, thus allowing the filter to last long.
Common water filtration technologies for drinking water include activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis systems, and ultraviolet (UV) purification. Activated carbon filters are effective at removing chlorine, sediment, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which improve the taste and odor of water.
Reverse osmosis uses a semipermeable membrane to eliminate a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals, salts, and bacteria, resulting in highly purified water. Additionally, ultraviolet purification employs UV light to kill or inactivate bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, ensuring microbiological safety. These technologies can be used individually or in combination to meet specific water quality needs.
