Q) Does reverse osmosis remove parasites?A) The largest allowable pass through in a reverse osmosis membrane is 1/10,000th of a micron. Thesize suggested by the NSF to remove parasites is 1 micron. This makes the filtration quality of reverseosmosis 10,000 times better than the recommended value! Q) Where does the TDS go after the RO removes it?A) The RO membrane has the ability to clean itself. The particulates in the water are flushed down thedrain. This is why the RO membrane lasts so much longer than the other filters in the system. Q) How much water does this system waste?A) the typical waste to product ratio for a reverse osmosis system is 4 to 1 under the correct pressure.The ratio will change in favor of the product as the pressure increases. There are other ways to improvethe waste to product ratio as well. Please call us at (877) 803-7462 if...

The worlds Coral reefs have formed through the mineral deposits of billions of small invertebrate animals, called coral polyps. All of these polyps survive via colonies, which are made up of one to many thousands of individuals. They are able to construct homes made from calcium carbonate, similar to the bones in our body. They can retract themselves into their little homes when attacked by predators. Over millions of years, these animals have been able to create vast underwater mountains which we call coral reefs. Coral polyps are similar to anemones, having tentacles, a mouth and an internal body sac called a gastrovascular cavity which is used to digest food. These polyps are sessile, meaning they cannot move; they catch prey with their tentacles, which may be floating on the water currents or swimming towards certain death. After having caught a prey, their cnidocytes release tiny poisonous harpoons. These powerful...
