Reverse Osmosis

A brief introduction to the Diamond Spring REVERSE OSMOSIS (R.O.) point of use equipment for correction of drinking water quality

Only air has a more immediate importance to our survival than water. The human body is 60% - 70% water - indeed, we are more water than anything else is! Water is a combined filter, solvent, dispersant, and temperature regulator. Our body moisture is constantly being lost through evaporation, by breathing etc, and must therefore be replaced. Experts recommend we should drink about 6 cups of water a day. Water is important for circulation, weight control, blood pressure, kidney function and many other factors governing our health.

However, this assumes that the water we consume is free from contamination by bacteria, excess salts, heavy metals, chemicals etc.

IF IT IS NOT, THEN EVERY DROP OF WATER WE DRINK AND USE FOR COOKING INTRODUCES A HAZARD TO OUR WELL BEING AND REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF WATER BY INHIBITING ITS ABILITY TO ACT AS A COOLANT, FILTER, DISPERSANT, ETC.

A brief introduction to the

Diamond Spring REVERSE OSMOSIS (R.O.)

point of use equipment for correction of drinking water quality

Reverse Osmosis is an adaptation of nature’s biological process. In the reverse osmosis process water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane that separates out the impurities and rejects them to the household drainage system. The R.O. membrane deals equally with bacteriological, chemical, organic and non-organic contamination. It will remove up to 98% of all pollutants.

In humans, fluids pass in and out of such membranes (cell tissues) by the phenomenon known as osmosis, while plants absorb food and moisture from soil in the same way. Reverse osmosis is simply this natural process turned around.

The Diamond Spring R.O. purification equipment is suitable for use on water supplies from mains water supplies which may be subject to pollution problems. Other consumers may be interested who suffer from specific medical conditions, e.g. kidney sufferers, for whom the equipment is strongly recommended.

Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) is generally recognized as being the only really effective form of purification which can offer a solution to a wide range of problems, from the bacteria, excess salts and heavy metals which affect private water supplies, to the problems arising from industrial effluent and intensive farming which can pollute even municipal supplies.

Diamond Spring R.O. purification combines reverse osmosis with two other forms of treatment. Firstly, the water passes through a dirt/sediment filter. This removes particles and protects the next stage, the R.O. membrane, helping to extend its serviceable life. Then the product water from the R.O. membrane passes through a granular activated carbon filter, which is particularly effective against organic chemicals, this guarantees that the water tastes good. Thus the three stage process is capable of dealing with any problem.

The Diamond Spring R.O. purification equipment is guaranteed to meet EEC Directives on both maximum admissible concentrations and guide levels for pollutants in drinking water.

Here are some results from the American Testing Institute of San Diego, California on R.O. membranes which show just how effective R.O. systems are.

In the late 20th Century, mankind is beginning to pay the price of environmental pollution. Part of that price is the effect on water quality and, whilst the water authorities and other suppliers do their best, they cannot guarantee pure,

fresh water at the tap. Even the chemicals used in the processing of water are considered to be a health hazard. The only sure way to control the quality of

the water you drink is to do so at the point of use, in your own home. Whilst filtration will remove suspended solids and many pollutants, toxins like aluminum, lead, cadmium etc., if present, will be in solution (i.e. dissolved),

as well as in suspension (solids). Filtration is not enough to remove these dissolved pollutants - total purification is the only answer. Reverse Osmosis is
