Read on to take a step towards pure, clean and safe drinking water.
Sediment Filtration Systems:
Sediment filtration systems are used to filter out the most common foreign bodies, in water, such as silt, rust, sand and other debris. Filters with different pore sizes are used to remove the larger
particles, preventing clogging in downstream filters such as aerators and tap filters, and to protect your appliances. Usually, they are used as the first stage in combination with
other filtration methods to enhance your water quality.
Carbon Filtration Systems:
Don’t like the taste or smell of your water? This is where carbon filtration systems come in. These are effective in removing organic compounds, chlorine, and unpleasant odors and tastes from water. Activated carbon filters have a large
absorbable surface area capable of catching impurities. Carbon filters come in two main types: granular activated carbon (GAC) and carbon block filters. GAC filters are commonly used in whole-house systems,
while carbon block filters are ideal for more isolated applications such as under-sink filters or refrigerator water dispensers.
Reverse Osmosis Systems:
Worried about water safety? Heavy metals, dissolved solids, bacteria and viruses are removed with Reverse osmosis (RO) systems. These systems employ a semi-permeable membrane that allows water
molecules to pass through while blocking impurities. The purpose of these systems is clean and purified drinking water for both residential and commercial settings. However, it’s important to note that RO
systems also remove beneficial minerals, so remineralization may be necessary.
UV Sterilisation Systems:
UV sterilisation systems use ultraviolet light to disinfect water by killing microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. UV sterilization is a chemical-free and environmentally friendly method, ensuring
safe and reliable water without altering its taste or odor. They are often used in conjunction with other filtration methods, as they do not remove chemicals or physical impurities.
Ion Exchange Systems:
Have you ever heard of ‘hard water’? Ion exchange systems are typically used to soften water by removing excessive calcium and magnesium ions – the cause of hard water. These systems use ion exchange resin beds
to replace the hardness ions with sodium or potassium ions. The result is reduced scale buildup in pipes, appliances, and fixtures, prolonging their lifespan. These are more commonly used in areas where water is found to be hard.
