We installed a commercial off-the-shelf Reverse Osmosis under-sink system in Coastal North Carolina, an area with known municipal water challenges. Total dissolved solids (TDS) were tested with the following results:
- Inlet Municipal water: 191 mg/L
- Brine Reject: 264 mg/L
- RO Membrane Outlet: 1 mg/L
- Product Water (after re-mineralization): 12 mg/L
The installed system requires a minimal footprint; dramatically improves water taste, clarity, and smell; and is providing a minimum of 99.5% contaminant removal. Testing of the inter-stage water quality, flow rates, and reject water analysis provides a key insight to the advancement of water purification and treatment.
