Learning the importance of water, the hazards of water contamination and the benefits of home water filtration, can be a very rewarding effort both physically and financially. We have a passionate belief in our water filtration units and filters to eliminate the risks of water contamination. Even a brief review of this topic will yield a substantial increase in awareness and a surprising common sence conclusion... Water is the essence of life!
Water used in agricultural and domestic water systems can contain particles that cause damage and corrosion to water systems, taps and electric household appliances.
A special water filter can resolve all of these problems. Filters are available in two pieces (head + bowl) and in three pieces (head + bowl + ring), in brass or in plastic material for food use. Filter cartridges can differ in material and in performance.
Special wrenches are available for filters in three pieces

Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a filtration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. To be "selective," this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions through the pores (holes), but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely.
Reverse osmosis is most commonly known for its use in drinking water purification from seawater, removing the salt and other substances from the water molecules. This is the reverse of the normal osmosis process, in which the solvent naturally moves from an area of low solute concentration, through a membrane, to an area of high solute concentration. The movement of a pure solvent to equalize solute concentrations on each side of a membrane generates a pressure and this is the "osmotic pressure." Applying an external pressure to reverse the natural flow of pure solvent, thus, is reverse osmosis.
The process is similar to membrane filtration. However, there are key differences between reverse osmosis and filtration. The predominant removal mechanism in membrane filtration is straining, or size exclusion, so the process can theoretically achieve perfect exclusion of particles regardless of operational parameters such as influent pressure and concentration. Reverse osmosis, however, involves a diffusive mechanism so that separation efficiency is dependent on solute concentration, pressure, and water flux rate.
