Reverse Osmosis
Process
Stage
1. Prefiltration The purifying process begins with a sediment
reduction cartridge that traps dirt, rust, mud, hairs and other particles
that can affect the taste and appearance of water. This stage also protects
the RO membrane from fouling and abrasion.
Stage
2. Membrane Process This is the primary component of "Raindance"
RO purifiers and features the latest technology membrane that can separate
up to 98% of dissolved metals and salts from ordinary tap water. Raindance
RO membranes are capable of rejecting ionic contaminants down to five
angstroms in size. One angstrom is one ten millionth the size of a millimetre.
Stage
3. Contaminant Rejection System Another unique feature of
RO membranes is that they are mostly self cleaning. Your Raindance purifier
has been designed and constructed by skilled specialists and the RO
process will reject and flush down the drain the contaminants that would
otherwise enter your body.
Stage
4. Reduction of Volatile Organic Contaminants While the RO
process will reject incredibly small contaminants, it must at the same
time be sufficiently permeable to allow hydrogen and oxygen to pass
through. As a result, some gaseous and low molecular weight chemicals
and cancer causing compounds such as chloroform pass through the membrane.
These potentially dangerous contaminants are effectively reduced by
the Raindance bacteriostatic chemical reduction and water polishing
final filter carbon cartridge.

5. Optional Ultra Violet Sterilizer
