Providing safe drinking water for all is a challenging task. Many different compounds and substances, both natural and man-made, find their way into the water supply and it can be difficult to remove all traces of contaminants from your water

BIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION

The contamination of water is caused by the presence of living organisms, such as parasites, bacteria, protozoan or viruses. They are also referred to as microbes or microbiological contaminants.

REVERSE OSMOSIS & BIOLOGICAL IMPURITIES

Reverse osmosis purification systems apply pressure to filter supply water. Thereby, the water passes through a membrane-embedded into the heart of each system. Dissolved contaminants are unable to pass through, resulting in purified water coming out at the end. For extra safety, pre and post-filters are incorporated into our systems. A filter membrane has a pore size of about 0.0001 microns. For illustration purposes, bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella are about 0.2 to 4 microns in size, which means that they are way too large to fit through the pores.

According to a report published by the CDC reverse osmosis systems have very high effectiveness in:

1- Removing protozoa (e.g. Cryptosporidium, Giardia)

2- Removing bacteria (e.g. Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli)

3- Removing viruses (e.g. Enteric, Hepatitis A, Norovirus, and Rotavirus).

It does remove biological contaminants and it does so very effectively for many water transferred viruses and bacteria. Businesses have also found that RO systems are highly effective in providing safe drinking water for employees and clean water for manufacturing.

OTHER OPTIONS

UV systems are highly effective in killing nearly all know types of water-born and transferred viruses and bacteria.UV systems are an effective means of water disinfection for residential and commercial point of entry use to help disinfect the entire building. UV systems are highly recommended to home and business owners who may suspect any E.coli, cryptosporidium, giardia or any other types of bacteria and viruses in the water.

It is not advised to use chlorine or other chemicals to disinfect water like private well owners, because of the toxic by-products they create. It is important to avoid drinking any water that is potentially contaminated from bacteria to protect yourself from any water borne-diseases.
 

REVERSE OSMOSIS &ULTRAVIOLET PURIFICATION ADVANTAGES

1- Chemical Free: UV purification does not use any chemicals like chlorine or leave any harmful by-products.

2- Taste &Odour-Free: UV does not add any chemical taste or odour to the water.

3- Extremely Effective: One of the most effective ways to kill disease-causing microbes by destroying 99.99%.

4- Requires very little energy: Uses about the same energy as it would to run a 60 watt light bulb.

5- Low Maintenance: Set and forget type of system, just change UV bulb annually.

COMBINED FILITRATION

Filtration of contaminants depends highly on the amount of contaminant, size of the contaminant particle, and the charge of the contaminant particle. Depending on the household’s water needs, pre-treatment before filtration may include the addition of coagulants and powdered activated carbon, adjustments in pH or chlorine concentration levels, and other pre-treatment processes in order to protect the filter’s membrane surface.
