R.O. Membrane:
The third and main stage of the ltration is high-production R.O. membrane. It is “semi-per-
meable”, which means that it allows water to pass through but prevents dissolved particles
from passing through. It splits the feed water into two streams: clean water goes to the
post-lter and then onto the faucet. Waste water with rejected particles goes down the drain.
Post-Filter:
Last stage of ltration is an activated carbon post-lter and/or remineralization for ne con-
ditioning and keeping the extra freshness of your water.

Performance:
Performance of the appliance such as ltered water delivery rate, rejection rate, etc. is highly
dependent on local conditions (inlet water pressure, temperature, TDS and degree of con-
tamination, etc.) and R.O. system use pattern. Actual performance may vary.

Eciency rating means the percentage of the inuent water to the system that is available to the user as
reverse osmosis treated water under operating conditions that approximate typical daily usage.
