Thanks for clearing something up for me. I had the wrong idea of how the system works and have heard of horror stories where water bills increased by hundreds of dollars. I thought that once the tank was full, no more water could cross the membrane and the incoming water (under tap water pressure) would bounce off the now impenetrable membrane and just flow out the drain pipe. In other words, no shut off valve. Thanks for explaining it!

Yes, there actually isn’t all they much water wasted.

[@Oblama]

I have a huge question. My mother bought a reverse osmosis filter (5 stage) that has no drain. She has no idea what an R.O. water system is. It's membrane canister (the 4th one) has no outlet for the waste water. It's membrane is actually a ceramic type filter. I am not sure if it is actually a reverse osmosis membrane. I am not even sure if it is actually a reverse osmosis water system now after watching your video. What is itthen? Just a 5 stage water filter? I am afraid that my mother has been scammed by shady individuals.

[@water_estore]

Yup, it's just a 5 stage filter. No membrane, no drain, then it's not a reverse osmosis system.

[@julianmunoz7836]

Some people Called It ultrafiltration, is pretty usefull is the water that you home use is soft but with sediments.

[@AM2PMReviews]

does it matter if my T off of my finishing filter is a few inches away from the actual end of the filter?

[@water_estore]

No, not at all.

[@GereDJ2]

How does the water divide within the membrane? How does it know which is which? Is an ASO valve absolutely necessary for good production? My generic, 6 stage R/O system w/ 100 gpd membrane, did not come with an ASO valve or restricter other than a small piece of plastic with smaller diameter hole inserted into the 1/4" tube on outflow. However, my system seems to produce R/O water properly. Also, you may wish to balance your audio levels here.

[@water_estore]

Water is forced through under pressure. The low mineral context water goes through the high mineral content water does not. The ASO valve shuts off the water when the tank is full. Yes you have one version of the flow restrictor

Hello Gary does this removes Fluoride from the water as well? which is one of my main concerns at the moment

[@water_estore]

great question! Yes it does.

[@Bender_Bending_Rodriguez_2996]

Yes it definitely does remove Flouride. I am not a real fan of flouride in my drinking water either, since it's a bit odd when i think of the reason the government said they put it there in the first place. Like seriously? Do they all the sudden care a lot for our teeth? (More like they care more to control us by making us more docile). Anyways, My biggest concern why I'm thinking of switching to a reverse osmosis system from my "Brita Elite Advance" is to filter some of The Carcinogenic Nitrate/N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and Arsenic that's in the water we drink. But I'm still not sure about drinking RO water all the time, due to some studies about it working too good I guess 😅. Because RO can remove healthy minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and other bicarbonates, I would likely drink RO water it 70% of the time and not use it for cooking. Also I would likely have to take more supplements/vitamins (calcium, magnesium, and electrolytes) Now don't get me wrong, I think Reverse Osmosis is Great 👍 But just like everything, everything shoulc be used in moderation.

Thank you for your helpful videos! I am on well water and am researching RO systems. I already have a sediment filter, carbon filter, and UV light for my whole house system, so it seems redundant to get an RO system with these filters again. Are there simpler systems for RO that skip the upfront filters?

[@water_estore]

No there really are not and you will find that in spite of those whole house filters the filters in the RO system itself still get quite dirty, so you need a 5 stage RO system.

[@stevengarcia9089]

I wouldn't recommend drinking well water even with big blue filters and a UV light. Is a softener being used to keep that UV light sleeve from getting calcium buildup? Remember, if the sleeve is coated with calcium/magnesium the UV light can't penetrate through the build up and effectively kill bacteria going through it.

[@tranjoshua9860]

Is it ok If I do not use the tank?

[@water_estore]

Sure, but the water will dribble out so slowly you'll get frustrated and stop using the system altogether.

[@austinpatrick2682]

Been in the water business full time for three weeks now. RO's are the most complicated water treatment to learn about. Also the most difficult to work on. Just like anything the best way to learn is to go hands-on. I've noticed there's more differences in models than just the membrane sometimes. Like the new model we install has an "absolute" filter. And the order is sediment, pre-carbon, membrane, absolute, and post-carbon (polishing). As I understand the absolute we use is just to take out one or two nasty things that the rest of the system isn't certified to take out. That's a pretty self-explanatory benefit if the absolute is preventing something nothing else will. So is the benefit of having dual pre-carbon filters that they don't have to be changed as often? Even if so that doesn't change the frequency of change on sediment. If you wanted the best of both worlds I suppose you could put another carbon filter in where the sediment usually goes and put a separate pre-filter for sediment before the whole unit. Perhaps that's what you would do if you were putting an RO in a house with hard, chlorinated city water and they weren't going to buy a softener and backwashing carbon filter? I'm really geeking out on this stuff. This will be my long-term career for sure.

[@water_estore]

The two carbon filters are for capacity but also contact time. An extra sediment filter will not remove hardness. If customer has hard water with out a softener (within reason) they would just need to replace the membrane more often but it would still work.

[@gordoneigner7565]

A question about this filter system that was described. Many carbon filters call for a 5 minute rinse after replacement I didn’t notice that you had a rinse step in the replacement video, should that be done to avoid membrane contamination?Also I was suprised to learn a little while back that the holding tanks only required about 6 psi.

[@jakerosenberg2003]

Thanks! About how much should it cost to install an RO system at a faucet?

[@hobuth]

Great video. I have a question: mine is constantly running water to drain. Drained water stops when the tank is full or I turn off inlet cold water.

[@water_estore]

That is how they work, when filling the tank the impurities are being flushed to the drain, when the tank is full all water is shut off.

[@hobuth]

Maybe but something is wrong because once the tank is full and drain is quiet, I take a glass of water and drain noise goes on for 10min. It's only 2 months old and didn't used to run like this

[@water_estore]

Depending on the quality of the system the rejection rate could be as high as 10 to one. So if you take an 8 ounce glass of water, you could have 80 ounces of water going to the drain.

You are far better of with our HUM Water Saver 75 which although there still is some wasted water, it is far less than the others.

Thanks for your informative video but could I use the RO system with out storage tank

[@water_estore]

Yes, but there would be such a pathetic slow stream of water you would hate it.

What's the white chamber do? The one with four hoses. What's the yellow hoses do?

[@water_estore]

The large one on the top is the membrane. The hose color differs based on the system. Where does your yellow hose go to and from?

[@gregdoh]

Great video, thanks for explaining the process of how it works! I use RO for watering house plants and in our humidifiers, but I wouldn't drink it on a regular basis (I'm lucky to live on a well that goes into a deep, clean aquifer).

Thanks for watching. Please share video with friends and family.

Do these filters remove fluoride?

[@water_estore]

Yes they do!

[@albertfriesen5841]

Do these RO systems get rid of iron and heavy metals aswell?

[@water_estore]

Yes they do.

[@odalyscanek813]

Hey! Can you kindly answer a question I have, I'd like to know if the valve for the drain should be completely open? Or half way open?

[@water_estore]

I have never seen a valve on the drain line. A flow restrictor yes, but never a valve.

Hey Gary, do you have any RO water systems that you personally use and/or would recommend?

[@water_estore]

Yes, this is the one in my house waterestore.com/products/hum-water-saver-reverse-osmosis-system-75-gallons-per-day. High efficiency, uses non proprietary filters, high flow and Made in USA

[@guyhunt9996]

if you have a water softening system do you need a RO system?

[@water_estore]

Yes you do, they do two different water treatments.

[@fruitarian]

Will this work in Flint, MI or Jackson, MS?

[@water_estore]

Yes it will. This is what I suggest waterestore.ca/products/goldline-50-reverse-osmosis-water-system

[@fruitarian]

@@water_estore That is a whole house system, for showering and doing laundry, rather than a simple system just to purify the water out of the tap?

[@Fexone718]

I live in an apartment. Not much space under my sunk. It's there a RO system that's small and compact that I can use ? Any recommendations ? Thank u !!

[@water_estore]

They are all about the same size.

[@YocasFilmz]

Thank you for this great explanation!

[@water_estore]

You're welcome. Please share video with friends and family.

[@Fr4nkSanchez]

What is the benefit of adding a permate pump? Does it produce water faster?

[@water_estore]

I really don't know. I never use or recommend them, unnecessary cost and complexity.
