Complementary water purification techniques, including pretreatment and high–performance reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, enable reliable production of Type 3 pure water
Essential water quality information is shown on the system’s easy-to-read backlit LCD display, including the key water quality parameters that are measured by the system’s monitoring equipment (product water resistivity/conductivity compensated to 25 °C and tank level)
RFID technology provides further control by preventing insertion of an incorrect purification cartridge in the RiOs™ Essential system, and also by ensuring traceability of pack use and replacement.
RiOs™ Essential systems have been designed for easy, effortless operation. Intuitive controls on the system cabinet simplify use, and provide essential details — you see just the information you need. When necessary, icons inform users of any actions that should be performed, such as routine maintenance reminders (i.e., changing the Progard® pack, sanitizing the system), or taking corrective measures in case of an alert or alarm. To ensure optimal system operation, maintenance alerts or alarms are visually signaled by color changes of relevant icons and the backlit LCD screen.
Reduced water waste is achieved by recycling part of the reject water to the RO membrane feed water stream, which decreases water consumption by 50% or more compared to standard RO systems.
Only a single Progard® pretreatment pack is needed to remove particles, free chlorine and colloids from tap water.
Advanced RO is a particularly effective technique for obtaining good water purity, removing 95–99% of inorganic ions and 99% of all dissolved organic substances (MW >200 Dalton), in addition to microorganisms and particles.
