![[VIDEO] How Fast Reverse Osmosis Water is Created from a Reverse Osmosis Water Filter](http://mywaterfilter.com.au/cdn/shop/articles/img-1772069976855.jpg?v=1772086271&width=1920)
In this video, discover the flow rates of reverse osmosis water filters and what to expect when producing pure water. Watch as we demonstrate the process, highlighting the importance of understanding how these systems work. While they effectively remove contaminants, the water production is gradual. Learn how to manage your setup for optimal results and enjoy a steady supply of clean, great-tasting water!
G'day folks, Rod from My Water Filter here today. What we're going to do is just have a look at how fast the water flows out of a reverse osmosis water filter.
Sometimes when people go for the portable model, they'll give us a call, and suggest that they were expecting a faster flow rate.
How It Creates Clean Water
The membranes in these reverse osmosis systems wring the water out, and they take the contamination out of the water well. However, they create water slowly.
When you turn it on, the black hose will start to run first until there's pressure on the membrane. And once there's pressure on the membrane, the blue hose will begin to create the pure water. Concentrated chemicals and contaminants from your water supply go through the black hose.
This blue hose is just beautiful, clean, pure water. Now that's how fast the water's going to flow. We've pulled this RO 4000 to pieces until there was nothing left, and we've changed it and upgraded it the best we can.
Getting Higher Flow Rates
To achieve the highest flow rates from these filters, we use larger membranes. The RO 4000 will make hundreds of litres in a day if you just leave it running. But if you're just going to intend on turning it on and off, this is the water flow that you’ll achieve.
Most commonly, or a lot of the time, people will have some containers to fill up, and they'll just put the blue hose in there, the black hose down the waste or in the bucket for the garden, and they'll just fill up your container.
The ULTRAPURE System
A similar thing applies to a permanent system. We've engineered this standalone Triple Housing system specifically for Australian homes. What’s fantastic is there’s absolutely no pre-filtration or whole house water filter required. It tackles the absolute worst toxins right there under your sink using an advanced 8-stage filtration process.
The water flows through our unique 3-in-1 cartridge for sediment and scale protection, then into a Disruptor cartridge that targets chemicals and bacteria. Next, it hits the high-performance inline RO membrane, which removes up to 99% of contaminants.
Water on Demand
Now, the system itself makes water at a steady trickle—a couple of hundred millilitres a minute. But to make sure you get a great flow rate at the sink, the purified water flows into a Pure Water Storage Tank. The system is always making water, filling the tank. There's a bladder inside this tank, and as the water flows in, it compresses.
As soon as you come along and hit the drinking water faucet on your sink, it's that bladder that pushes the water along the line. On its way out to your glass, it goes through a final polishing stage where essential minerals are added back in, creating mildly alkaline, sweet-tasting water. Because of this tank setup, you'll have a full, fast flow straight out of your kitchen tap!
As soon as you run some water, the system starts making pure water again to fill the tank right back up. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to maintain with simple upright housings, and it even comes with a leak-stop anti-leak detector for total peace of mind.
It does make fantastic water, no doubt about it, it's just that it makes it slowly behind the scenes because of the incredible 8-stage process it goes through. Thanks very much.
