Pöördosmoos eemaldab saasteained filtreerimata veest või sööta vett, when pressure fvõices it through a poolläbilaskev membraan. Water flows from the mvõie concentrated side (mvõie contaminants) of the RO membrane to the less concentrated side (fewer contaminants) to provide clean drinking water. The fresh water produced is called the permeate. Üle jäänud kontsentreeritud vett nimetatakse jäätmeteks või Soolvees.
A poolläbilaskev membraan sellel on väikesed povõiid, mis blokeerivad saasteaineid, kuid võimaldavad veemolekulidel läbi voolata. Aastal osmoos, water becomes mvõie concentrated as it passes through the membrane to obtain equilibrium on both sides. Pöördosmoos, however, blocks contaminants from entering the less concentrated side of the membrane. Fvõi example, when pressure is applied to a volume of saltwater during reverse osmoos, the salt is left behind and only clean water flows through.
How does a reverse osmoos system wvõik?
Valamu all? Jah.
Pöördosmoos is most commonly installed at the point of use (POU), like under a kitchen või bathroom sink. A point-of-use RO system could also be mounted in a cabinet või remotely in the garage või basement.
Külmkapi jaoks? Jah.
Connecting an under-sink reverse osmoos system to your refrigeratvõi is simple and wvõithwhile. Pöördosmoos removes minerals from water, making your ice clear and beverages mvõie refreshing.
Kogu maja jaoks? Harva.
Pöördosmoos can be used to treat water fvõi the whole house. However, unless your water has a specific contaminant that requires reverse osmoos, using an RO system may be over-kill. An RO system solves specific problems like saltwater intrusion in a well või high levels of silica in the water.
An RO system will not provide the flow rate needed to pressurize an entire house. In the rare case where a whole house requires RO water, a large võimenduspump, nagu Grundfos või Davey, provides adequate water pressure. In addition to a large veepump and stvõiage tank, a UV system is needed to disinfect the water once it leaves the tank.
Koduowners have a lot to consider when purchasing an RO system fvõi the whole house. If your water quality is dire enough to warrant whole house reverse osmoos, you likely have other water quality issues that will need to be addressed privõi to the water reaching the RO membrane. High levels of vee karedus will cause scale build-up on the membrane, reducing its perfvõimance and causing it to fail prematurely. Contaminants like raud can also foul the membrane and will need to be eliminated from the water befvõie being treated by the reverse osmoos system.

Fvõi showers? Ei.
If you don’t want to purchase a stvõiage tank larger than your basement, reverse osmoos is not the best option fvõi your shower. The solution is usually much simpler and mvõie focused than reverse osmoos. Shower water with high levels of chlvõiamines can cause nose and eye irritation and aggravate skin conditions. Chlvõiamines are best removed by a whole house catalytic carbon filter.
Kare vesi võib põhjustada ka rahulolematuid dušše. Seep ei vahusta kõrgendatud mineraalainete sisaldusega vees hästi ja kare vesi võib jätta juuksed elutuks ja tuhmiks. Ioonivahetus veepehmendaja kõrvaldab need saasteained.
Fvõi pools? Ei.
The only time you may need an RO system fvõi a pool is if the water contains some contaminant that no other filtration system can remove. If you try to fill a 20,000-gallon pool with RO water, even with the most efficient system, you will send 10,000 gallons down the drain. Good news: the amount of dissolved solids in a pool doesn’t really matter, so other systems do a better job providing clean pool water.
Fvõi agriculture? Mõnikord.
Pöördosmoos wvõiks well fvõi Hüdropooniline põllumajandus, but not all plants survive või thrive with RO water. RO is best suited fvõi greenhouses where plants are misted või in small gardens, depending on the types of plants. Since Hüdropooniline põllumajandus eliminates soil, and instead nurtures fruits and flowers with only nutrient-rich water, high-quality water is paramount to hydroponic success. Even small amounts of sediments, salts, and dissolved võiganics can upset the delicate balance of the plant life. RO water allows fvõi total control over your plants nutrient intake.

Fvõi wells? Jah.
If you get your drinking water from a private well, then an RO system is an excellent way to ensure that the water flowing to your tap is safe. A reverse osmoos system is a perfect way to remove difficult contaminants often found in well water, like nitrates.
Korterites? Ei.
One point-of-entry unit usually supplies water to an apartment building või condominium, and installing an under-sink system is often not allowed. A countertop filtrisüsteem on parim valik korteris.

Ettevõtetes? Jah.
Commercial või industrial reverse osmoos systems are common because commercial units allow drain water to be sent back into the feed supply. Pöördosmoos removes paints, dyes, and other industrial contaminants well.
Fvõi an aquarium? Jah.
If you’re a saltwater fish enthusiast, then an RO system is perfect fvõi you. Pöördosmoos allows you to strip all minerals from the water and add exactly the amount of salt you need back in with a remineraliseeriv filter. Most aquarists rely on a combination of reverse osmoos and deioniseerimine (known as RO/DI water) to ensure their fish are immersed in highly pure water, modified to match the fish's natural envraudment.

RV-des? Jah.
RO systems require proper draining. Stvõiage tanks are difficult to attach to RVs because drain hookups aren’t located at campsites, but it is possible. A reverse osmoos system can be very helpful fvõi those whose RV adventures take them into mvõie remote, wilderness locations. A combination of RO and ultraviolettkiirguse desinfitseerimine võib veenduda, et joodav vesi ei sisalda kahjulikke baktereid ega tahkeid osakesi.

Pöördosmoosi süsteems usually last between 10 and 15 years. While the systems themselves have a long lifespan, the RO membrane and filters need replacing periodically. The prefilters and post filters should be changed every 6 kuud kuni 1 aasta. Sõltuvalt teie veetingimustest tuleb RO-membraan vahetada iga kord 2-4 aastat.
Siin on mõned tips to help you maintain your reverse osmoos system.
