Reverse Osmosis www.rpfacilities.com

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that effectively filter out dissolved solids, chemicals, bacteria, and viruses, ensuring clean and safe drinking water. It is a good water treatment solution for Lekki (both right wing and left wing sides of Lekki Epe Expressway in Lagos) and any other parts of Lagos with water problem.


There are different reverse osmosis system for different water problems like salt water, iron water, PH imbalance, odor, color, or other forms of impurities. Don't make the mistake of assuming all reverse osmosis system will be adequate for your water problems - it can cost you more!

How much does it cost to install a reverse osmosis system? It varies depending majorly on raw water quality and water usage (consumption rate).


Lets Examine common questions often asked about reverse osmosis system.
Q1: How often should I replace the reverse osmosis membrane in my system?

A1: The reverse osmosis membrane typically requires replacement every 2 to 3 years, depending on factors such as water quality and usage.



Q2: What signs indicate that my reverse osmosis system needs maintenance?

A2: Signs of a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system needing maintenance include decreased water production, slow flow rate, unusual taste or odor, and increased levels of impurities in the filtered water.



Q3: How often should I clean the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system's pre-filters?

A3: Pre-filters should generally be replaced every 6 to 12 months, but you may need to clean or replace them more frequently if your water source is heavily contaminated.



Q4: Is it necessary to sanitize the reverse osmosis system periodically?

A4: Yes, it is recommended to sanitize the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system every 6 to 12 months to prevent the growth of bacteria or mold and maintain optimal performance.



Q5: Can I perform Reverse Osmosis (RO) system maintenance myself, or should I hire a professional?

A5: We will recommend you hire a professional - RP Facilities Ltd. Repairs or system troubleshooting may require the assistance of a professional technician.



Q6: How can I improve the flow rate of my reverse osmosis system?

A6: If the flow rate is slow, you can try checking and replacing clogged pre-filters, checking the pressure in the storage tank, and ensuring proper water pressure to the system.



Q7: What is the ideal operating pressure for a reverse osmosis system?

A7: Most Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems operate optimally at a pressure range of 40-80 psi (pounds per square inch). Always install a pressure gauge to check the pressure and adjust if necessary.



Q8: How should I store my reverse osmosis system if I'm not using it for an extended period?

A8: If you plan to store the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system, it is crucial to drain and sanitize it, remove filters, and protect it from extreme temperatures to prevent damage.



Q9: Is it necessary to test the water quality after maintaining the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system?

A9: It is recommended to test the water quality after maintenance to ensure that the system is functioning correctly and providing the desired level of purification. A simple PH test and physical test may be enough depending on your internal QA/QC requirement.



Q10: Are there any specific maintenance tips for well water-based reverse osmosis systems?

A10: Well water-based Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems may require more frequent maintenance due to higher levels of sediment and contaminants. Regular testing, filter replacement, and system cleaning are crucial for their proper functioning. For best results, install water fiber filters or stainless steel cylinder filters with appropriate filtration media.

Water Treatment - Reverse Osmosis


Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove dissolved salts, minerals, and other impurities from water. In this process, water is forced through the membrane under pressure, leaving behind impurities that are too large to pass through the membrane. The purified water is then collected on the other side of the membrane.


The semi-permeable membrane used in reverse osmosis is designed to enable just water molecules to flow through while preventing salts, minerals, and other contaminants from passing through. The membrane is composed of a thin layer of material, typically polyamide or cellulose acetate, and is meant to be highly selective in terms of what it allows to flow through.


Reverse osmosis is a highly effective water treatment process that may remove up to 99% of dissolved salts, minerals, and other pollutants. It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.


Advantages:

Produces high-quality purified water

Minimal use of water treatment chemicals

Removes impurities and contaminants from water, including dissolved salts and minerals, bacteria, viruses, and other pollutants.

Improves taste and odor of water.

Easy to maintain by regularly changing the filter membrane

It is versatile as it can be used to purify water from a wide range of sources


Disadvantages:

It can waste a significant amount of water, with some systems producing as much as 4 times waste water for every purified water.

It can remove beneficial minerals from water, including calcium and magnesium, which can affect the taste and health benefits of the water.

It requires pre-treatment to remove large particles and impurities before the water is processed, which can add to the cost and complexity of the system.

Reverse osmosis systems can be expensive to install and maintain, and may not be cost-effective for small-scale or residential use.

Reverse osmosis can be a slow process, with some systems taking several hours to produce required volume of purified water.


Maintenance of Reverse Osmosis:

it is important to consider the cost, maintenance requirements, and potential drawbacks of reverse osmosis before choosing it as a water treatment option.


Filter changes: Pre-filters and post-filters in reverse osmosis systems must be changed on a regular basis to remove sediment, chlorine, and other pollutants. The frequency with which filters should be changed is determined by the quality of the source water and the type of filter utilized.

System inspection: Inspecting the reverse osmosis system on a regular basis can assist identify any leaks, broken components, or other issues that may be affecting its operation. It is critical to treat any issues as soon as possible to avoid further harm or contamination.

Tank sanitization: Over time, bacteria and other microorganisms can contaminate the storage tank in a reverse osmosis system. Regular tank sanitization is required to keep the water safe and free of impurities.

Membrane cleaning: The semipermeable membrane of a reverse osmosis system can become clogged with pollutants over time, decreasing its efficacy. Cleaning the membrane may be necessary to remove buildup and restore its performance. The frequency with which the membrane must be cleaned is determined by the quality of the source water and the type of membrane utilized.

Water quality testing: Testing the purified water on a regular basis will help ensure that the reverse osmosis system is working effectively and providing high-quality water. Testing should be performed on a regular basis to detect changes in water quality or pollutants.


To ensure that reverse osmosis systems continue to perform effectively and generate high-quality water, they require regular maintenance such as filter changes and membrane cleaning. Reverse osmosis systems often require pre-treatment to remove large particles and impurities before the water is processed, which can add to the cost and complexity of the system.
