Reverse Osmosis (filtration) – Under Sink

These smaller units are often seen in homes and are usually used to remove chemicals from drinking water.  In these cases the owner wants to produce a purer water that does not contain chemicals that are used in metropolitan or town supplied water.  They can produce very good quality water not that dissimilar to bottled water.

Larger units are mainly used to reduce the total dissolved salts or salinity of supplied water (often bore water).  If you think that this is what you are after then follow the link to Reverse Osmosis (desalination) – Large Units.

We can supply and install multi stage systems depending on your needs.  We can also service your existing system ensuring that it is performing as it should.  These systems need servicing and filters need to be replaced.  Below is a photo of a filter removed from a under sink filtration unit in metropolitan Melbourne – looks like it was doing its job but it should have been changed much earlier.

The photo below is of a 4-stage membrane used to purify town water.

About Reverse Osmosis (filtration) – Under Sink

In simple terms, reverse osmosis is a way of purifying water by passing it through a membrane whereby chemicals (ions, large molecules) are removed. The chemicals removed can be salts, it can be chemicals used to treat supplied/town water or it could even be pesticides or herbicides. Reverse osmosis can be very effective. See diagram below.

There are 2 main types of reverse osmosis that are typically seen in homes (and businesses) for quite different reasons.  The larger units are mainly used to reduce the total dissolved salts or salinity of supplied water (often bore water).  The photo below is a 2-membrane system used to desalinate bore water with a high level of dissolved salts.  This system produces water for household consumption and for irrigation.

The smaller units can be used for;

  • Water for household consumption
  • Ice manufacture
  • Small businesses
