Frequently Asked Questions
I was told that Reverse Osmosis (RO) units remove minerals. Is that true?
It’s true that RO units remove some minerals but that isn’t really the whole story. The mineral issue is probably the most controversial question in drinking water purification. “Experts” on both sides of the issue speak convincingly.
The amount of minerals from water is very little comparing with food. No matter the water is filtered or not, you need to drink a huge amount of water in order to get enough mineral for daily consumption. Therefore, we recommend getting minerals from your daily diet. Moreover, the cleanness of water should be the most concerned refer than mineral content.
How long will a Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit last?
Typical membrane lifespan is about 2 to 3 years, which varies by the nature of the water that it’s processing. Life Solutions Systems are guaranteed for life as long as they are serviced by us. Therefore we will replace membranes as frequently as is required.
Why do I need a pre-filter system if the Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane takes out the contaminates anyway?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes are designed to filter out contaminants at the molecular level. It is absolutely essential to remove contaminants larger than 5 microns before passing it to the RO membrane to prevent fouling and clogging.
Does Reverse Osmosis (RO) remove chlorine in water?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes are designed to filter out contaminants at the molecular level. It is absolutely essential to remove contaminants larger than 5 microns before passing it to the RO membrane to prevent fouling and clogging.
