Reverse osmosis water has unique characteristics that can be obtained through a very specific filtration process. At StructWater, we invite you to discover how to produce it at home, simply, using our filtration fountain. Specially designed so that you can enjoy all the benefits of deep purification every day, it supports better health.
Reverse osmosis water: what is the point?
Reverse osmosis water is water that has been purified through a process called “reverse osmosis,” as is possible with our filtration fountain. This technique removes most impurities, minerals, and contaminants present in the water, producing extremely pure water.
It is therefore ideal for everyday drinking!
It works by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane that allows only water molecules to pass through. Impurities, mineral salts, and other contaminants are retained, producing clean, demineralized water.
How can this purified water be used?
This water can be used in various fields such as:
- Food preparation;
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing;
- Drinking water production;
- The well-being of fish and plants in a household aquarium.
It is also used in the food industry, food preparation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and in laboratories where high-purity water is required for various applications.
Of course, the filtration fountain we offer in our online shop is intended for households or businesses that wish to benefit from it, for healthier water consumption!
How does water become reverse osmosis water?
To become reverse osmosis water, the water follows a 3-step filtration process; this ensures up to 99% removal of contaminants such as fluoride, lead, chlorine, nitrates, and heavy metals. Please note that more than 1,000 contaminants can be found in the water you drink every day!
- The first filter: it is effective for around 6 to 8 months depending on the quality and volume of water treated. It is a 5-micron textile sediment filter that helps reduce algae, impurities, rust, limescale, and heavy sediments;
- The second filter: this one lasts between 8 and 10 months, again depending on water quality and the volume treated. It is made of coconut-based activated carbon, also with a 5-micron filtration rating. It removes chlorine, organic chemicals, suspended particles, unpleasant tastes and odours, and other chemicals;
- The third filter: this last one has a lifespan of 10 to 12 months and consists of a semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane that removes up to 99% of contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, pesticides, heavy metals, etc.
As you can see, the filters in our filtration fountain are effective for 6 to 12 months depending on the volume of water treated. Completely independent, they are easy and simple to replace over the months and years!
The benefits of filtered and purified water
Thanks to its unique and comprehensive purification process, the filtration fountain produces water that can now be consumed or used every day to experience all its benefits and advantages.
Removal of contaminants
Reverse osmosis removes most contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, and dissolved salts, helping to provide cleaner, purer water.
Reduction of mineral salts
Reverse osmosis water has a lower concentration of mineral salts such as calcium and magnesium, which can be beneficial for certain applications. Nevertheless, it is important to note that long-term consumption of demineralized water may require mineral supplementation!
A neutral taste
This purified water has a more neutral taste, which some people prefer compared with tap water that may contain impurities, or with certain brands found in supermarkets that have undesirable flavours.
Reduced water hardness
Reverse osmosis removes the ions responsible for water hardness, which can reduce the formation of limescale deposits in household appliances and water pipes.
Please note: it is crucial to keep the equipment in good condition to ensure your device functions properly and to prevent microbiological contamination!
Whatever your need, if reverse osmosis water is the solution that can meet it effectively, do not wait. Its purity is a major advantage!
