This undersink reverse osmosis water system is exactly the same system as RO5-50 but it includes a permeate pump (ERP500). The benefits of the Permeate pump is given below.
This undersink 5-Stage RO water system provides safe, pure and great tasting water using Reverse Osmosis (RO) Technology. Having RO system at home is like having a botling plant at your kitchen. It's capable of removing 90%+ of total dissolved solids, 99%+ of all organics and 99%+ of all bacteria.
RO5-50 Capacity is 50 Gallons Per Day. If you are interested in buying a system with 100 GPD membrane, please order RO-550 and order the following Item# UP50100 from the Ro membrane section (see http://www.edenfilters.com/up36100.html).
Water Stored in 3.2-Gallon pressure tank for fast delivery. Comes with faucet and tank. Fully assembled, Made in USA.
1st Stage Cartride: 5-Micron 10" Sediment Filter (Part No. SF-1005, replace every 12 months); removes dirt, suspended particles and rust.
2nd Stage Cartridge: Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filter (Part No. UDF-10, replace every 12 months); takes out 99% of the chlorine.
3rd Stage Cartridge: 10-micron Carbon Block Filter (Part No. 91100N, replace every 12 months); removes residual chlorine and VOC.
4th Stage Membrane: Thin Film Composite Membrane (Part No. RE-1812-50, replace every 2-3 years); eliminates up to 99.9% dissolved solids, viruses.
5th Stage: Inline Carbon Filter (Part No. AIC-RO-P, replace every 12 months); provides final polishing of water.
Storage Tank: 3.2 gallon pressurized tank. Faucet: TouchFlo Lead-Free, long reach, goose neck faucet. Auto shut off valve. Rejection Rate 92-98%.
System comes with color-coded tubing, an installation pack (which includes tank ball valve, feed water valve, drain saddle, inserts and screws and Installation Manual.
Facts About this System:
The best-valued Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification system in the market today. It eliminates ~98% of dissolved solids and contaminants from water including nitrate, arsenic, mercury, lead, chrome, radionuclides, organic and many other chemicals.
Made in the USA using the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) listed filters and membranes.
Performance meets S-300 standards of the Water Quality Association.
Fully assembled for installation under the counter or sink. All filters are included.
Does not need electricity or chemicals to operate. Energy used in the ERO-550 is from the water pressure coming out of the cold water shutoff valve under the sink.
RO System comes with one (1) year limited warranty on all parts. No maintenance, just need to replace the filter cartridges every 12 months preferably before summer.
The filters and membrane used are all standard sizes, and they are available from other suppliers as well. Filter housing wrench is used to replace the filters.
What are the operational parameters on this system?
1. System is to be used with municipal or well water sources. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
2. Operating Temperature: Maximum 100 oF (37.8 oC) Minimum 40oF (4.4 oC)
3. Operating Water Pressure: Maximum 100 psi (6.85 kg/cm2) Minimum 40 psi (2.8 kg/cm2)
4. Turbidity: < 5 NTU
5. pH 3 to 11
6. Hardness of more than 8 grains per gallon (137 ppm) may reduce TFM membrane life expectancy.
7. Recommended total dissolved solids (TDS) not to exceed 1800 ppm.
WHAT DOES A PERMEATE PUMP DO?
The Permeate Pump is powered only by the hydraulic energy of brine water usually lost to the drain. The Permeate Pump forces product water into the storage tank, reducing membrane back pressure and maximizing available feed pressure. These pumps dramatically improve the efficiency of R.O. water production, reducing wastewater by up to 80%. Permeate Pumps can also bring storage tanks up to line pressure and then shut the system down when these tanks reach capacity, eliminating the need for a hydraulic shut-off valve.
Other benefits include higher delivery pressures, faster R.O. water production, superior water quality, and extended filter/membrane life. The ERP1000 includes a specially designed insert which helps the system operate in near silence, eliminating the occasional clicking or gurgling sounds that can otherwise occur.
