A 6-stage Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is an advanced water purification setup that typically includes the following stages to ensure high-quality, purified drinking water. Here’s a breakdown of each stage:
1. Sediment Filter (Stage 1)
- Purpose: Removes large particles such as dirt, sand, rust, and debris.
- Role: Protects downstream filters and the RO membrane from clogging or damage.
2. Carbon Filter (Pre-Carbon, Stage 2)
- Purpose: Eliminates chlorine, chloramines, and other chemicals.
- Role: Protects the RO membrane, which can degrade when exposed to chlorine.
3. Reverse Osmosis Membrane (Stage 3)
- Purpose: Removes dissolved solids, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants down to 0.0001 microns.
- Role: This is the heart of the RO system, ensuring most impurities are eliminated.
4. Post-Carbon Filter (Stage 4)
- Purpose: Further removes any residual odors, tastes, or contaminants that might remain after the RO process.
- Role: Ensures water is polished and tastes clean.
5. Mineral/Alkaline Filter (Stage 5)
- Purpose: Re-mineralizes the water by adding essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can be stripped during the RO process.
- Role: Improves taste and balances pH, making water healthier.
6. UV Filter or Additional Carbon Filter (Stage 6)
- UV Filter: Kills any remaining microorganisms using ultraviolet light.
- Optional: Sometimes this stage includes an extra carbon filter for added purification.
Additional Features:
- Water Storage Tank: Stores purified water for easy access.
- Pump (Optional): Boosts water pressure for optimal RO performance if inlet pressure is low.
- Flow Restrictor: Ensures water flows at the right speed through the membrane.
This configuration is suitable for households and offices where water quality is a concern. It effectively removes contaminants and enhances taste, ensuring safe and refreshing drinking water.
