S9 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis Drinking System With Installation

To make a rough estimate, let's assume a family of four consumes 8 bottles of water per day.

Annual Cost of Bottled Water: 8 bottles/day * 365 days/year * €1.50/bottle = €4,380 per year.

Now, let's consider the cost of a water filter system. If we assume a mid-range system costing €200 with replacement filters costing €50 every 6 months:

Annual Cost of Water Filter: €200 (initial cost) + 2 * €50 (filters) = €300 per year.

Savings:

Potential Savings: €4,380 (bottled water) - €300 (water filter) = €4,080 per year.

Note:

These are rough estimates, and actual savings may vary depending on factors like water consumption, filter type, and specific water filter and bottled water prices.

The long-term savings from a water filter can be substantial, especially for larger families or those who consume a lot of bottled water.  

Additionally, using a water filter contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing plastic waste.  

Improved Health: Reduce exposure to harmful contaminants.

Saves You Money: Water filters can save an average family up to €600 per year when compared to bottled water

Enhanced Taste: Enjoy water that tastes fresh and delicious.

Protect Your Appliances: Minimize scale buildup and prolong the life of your appliances.

Peace of Mind: Know that your family is drinking safe, clean water.

Don't Compromise Your Health.

Your water source: Is it municipal tap water or well water?

The contaminants present in your water: This can be determined by a water test.

Your budget: How much are you willing to spend on an initial purchase and replacement filters?

Your household size: How much water do you typically consume?

Your desired level of filtration: Do you need a basic filter to improve taste and odor, or a more advanced system to remove a wide range of contaminants?

Yes we offer 1 free water test per household, just post us a sample with your water along with your details so we can let you know the results.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate water molecules from other substances. It works by applying pressure to the water, forcing it through the membrane. The membrane allows water molecules to pass through but blocks larger molecules, such as salts, minerals, and contaminants. This results in purified water.Reverse osmosis is commonly used in homes and industries to produce high-quality drinking water. It can remove a wide range of contaminants, including:  

Dissolved salts: such as sodium, calcium, and magnesium  

Heavy metals: such as lead and mercury  

Pesticides and herbicides  

Bacteria and viruses  

Organic compounds: such as chlorine and other chemicals  

While reverse osmosis is effective at removing contaminants, it also removes beneficial minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. This can lead to a flat taste, so some people choose to remineralize the water after filtration.  

Reverse osmosis systems come in various sizes and configurations, from countertop units to whole-house systems. The best type of system for you will depend on your specific needs and water quality.

The main difference between a direct flow and a standard reverse osmosis (RO) unit with a storage tank lies in their design and water delivery method.

Standard RO Unit with Storage Tank:

Design: This is the traditional RO system that uses a storage tank to store purified water.  

Water Delivery: Water is filtered and stored in the tank, and then dispensed when needed. This can lead to some delay in water delivery, especially if the tank is empty.  

Pros: More affordable, can provide a consistent supply of purified water even during periods of high demand.

Cons: Requires more space for the storage tank, potential for water stagnation and bacterial growth if not maintained properly.  

Direct Flow RO Unit:

Design: This modern RO system doesn't have a storage tank.  

Water Delivery: Water is filtered on demand, providing instant access to purified water.  

Pros: More compact, no risk of water stagnation, faster water delivery.  

Cons: More expensive

Lead: Lead can leach into water from old pipes or plumbing fixtures. It's particularly harmful to children and pregnant women.  

Chlorine: Used to disinfect water, chlorine can react with organic matter to form disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which may have potential health risks.  

Pesticides and Herbicides: Agricultural runoff can contaminate water sources, especially in rural areas.  

Pharmaceuticals: Traces of medications can find their way into water supplies.  

Heavy Metals: Industrial pollution can introduce heavy metals like mercury and cadmium.  

Yes all our systems are suitable for well water , within certain parameters , we advise that you get a well water test to test for minerals and bacteria, as you may need a pre treatment system before your drinking water filter/

Yes, reverse osmosis (RO) systems are effective at removing fluoride from water. The semi-permeable membrane used in RO systems has pores that are too small for fluoride ions to pass through, resulting in purified water with significantly reduced fluoride levels. However in order to maintain its effectiveness filters need to be changed in line with recommended life spans

Yes, reverse osmosis (RO) systems are effective at removing the minerals that cause limescale, primarily calcium and magnesium.  

By filtering out these minerals, RO systems can help prevent limescale buildup in your appliances and plumbing.

If you're specifically concerned about limescale, you might also consider a water softener. Water softeners use a process called ion exchange to replace calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions, effectively reducing water hardness and preventing limescale buildup.

It's important to note that RO systems also remove other minerals that can be beneficial to health so we recommend adding a remineralizing filter to add beneficial minerals back to the water.

Yes, reverse osmosis (RO) systems are effective at removing the majority of bacteria from water. The tiny pores in the RO membrane are too small for bacteria to pass through, filtering them out of the water.  

However, it's important to note that while RO systems dont filter certain bacteria and they are not foolproof. To ensure optimal performance and to prevent bacterial growth within the system itself, regular maintenance and filter replacements are crucial.

Additionally, it's recommended to pair an RO system with a UV water purifier for added protection against viruses and bacteria.
