Only one percent of most home's water is ingested. Why shouldn't that water be the best quality you can have? The Microline is a high-quality, easy-to-install reverse osmosis system that makes up to 25 gallons per day of fresh, clear water. It comes with its own faucet and can also be connected to a refridgerator with an icemaker. We have been installing these for years and have found the units to be reliable. Prefiltration: When water first enters the Microline R.O. System, it flows through a prefilter that protects the automatic shut-off and membrane from clogging with debris. The job of the prefilter is to filter out larger particles such as silt, rust or scale, extending the life of your R.O. membrane and allowing it to tackle the smaller contaminants. In the Microline e.TA. System, the prefilter is made of polypropylene fibers that are spun together so tightly that they trap particles. If you have a Microline TEe. System, the prefilter also has activated carbon in it. Not only does the tremendously porous activated carbon remove chlorine particles, (which is necessary to protect the refined T.Ee. Membrane), it serves to filter out other contaminants as well. The Membrane: Water then travels to the operational center of the system-the membrane. Here, most particles too small to be trapped by the prefilter are removed from the water stream and rinsed to the drain. The membrane's microscopic pores allow Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules through, (and water is H2O). The majority of the dissolved solids and other contaminants are flushed into the drain's water stream and exit the system. All Microline R.O. Systems have our patented seal on each membrane. The seal is designed to assure worry free installation, simplify system maintenance and reduce your service costs. The "Final Polish": After the membrane, the R.O. water is routed to the holding tank. Our tank holds approximately 2 gallons of fresh, clean water and the automatic shut-off tells the system when it's time to make more! When you turn on the Microline faucet and draw water from the holding tank, it then goes through its final stage of filtration, a carbon filter, to remove any remaining tastes and odors before reaching your glass. The carbon imparts the final "sweet" polish to your water.
