A Thin-film composite membranes (TFC) are semipermeable membranes manufactured to provide selectivity with high permeability.

A Reverse osmosis ( RO) is a water purification process that removes ions, unwanted molecules and larger particles from drinking water using a partially permeable membrane.

A Reverse osmosis takes place when you apply pressure to a highly concentrated solution, which causes the solvent to pass through a semipermeable membrane to the lower concentrated solution.

A No,reverse osmosis systems contain at least three stages, while distillers simply boil water and collect the vapor.

A The answer is 'No. ' Although both methods provide safe and clean water by removing solid particles and minerals from the water, distillation doesn't eliminate volatile chemicals such as chlorinates as effectively as reverse osmosis does.

A The wastewater percentage varies based on the use of an RO purifier.

A Regular filter changes are the most important aspect of maintaining your RO water filter system. Refer to the filter replacement schedule in your RO system's owner's manual. Regular maintenance will help keep your system working for many years and ensure your household has clean, healthy water to drink.

A The water pressure is what forces the water through the membrane for purification and flushes the rejected solids away. Low water pressure will result in reduced production and premature fouling of the membrane.

A Virtually forever if you service it regularly and replace parts that wear out, like the storage tank and the faucet. Typical membrane life is about 2 to 5 years, depending on the nature of the water that it's processing.
