Tap water RO systems are specifically designed to produce fresh, potable water from brackish water suitable for everyday personal use. Many countries around the globe have recognized the importance of having these valuable assets for water purification. To pull potable water from filthy, contaminated water, these systems took advantage of a popular process known as reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis deals with the use of a pump that exerts high pressure to the highly concentrated side of a semi-porous membrane, pushing water molecules through the tiny pores, while keeping contaminants behind. Purified water comes out and is gathered from the permeate side, while the contaminated water is dumped into the drain from the concentrate side. The average tap water RO machine includes a multimedia and activated carbon filter, a softener with brine tank, and semi-porous membranes.

[custom-specifications]
Brackish water is water that is taken from estuaries and river openings. It salt concentration falls in between fresh water and seawater. Not as pure as fresh water, yet not as salty as seawater. Its mild salty concentration is discouraged for human consumption. To generate purified water from brackish water, a water filtration system relies on a method called "reverse osmosis" for assistance.

[custom-features]
Four identical tap water RO systems were designed for a major company in Bahrain. The four TW-1.5K-140 systems were designed to each produce 1,500 GPD at a maximum rate of 500 PPM TDS and came complete with a microprocessor control panel. The systems were chosen from our RO-200 series. Since their initial startup, the machines have been functioning properly with minimal trouble-shooting.
