#GetInformed about the #ReverseOsmosis System... Things a consumer should know about reverse osmosis... Shut off: All new residential systems are now required to have a full tank shut off. This shuts off the inlet pressure to the system when the storage tank becomes full. Older RO systems without this feature should have a full tank shut off installed so that the system does not continue to pass water to drain even though the storage tank has reached its capacity. This device alone will save thousands of gallons of water a year. They do not however last forever. Shut offs should be checked once a year to see if they are functioning this can be bone by turning off the storage tank valve and making sure that no concentrate water is running to drain. If you see water running to drain after 10 minutes in a steady stream you should then check your check valve to make sure that it is functioning. If your check valve is OK then you should replace your shut off. Twist off filters or Bayonet filters: These are filters that can be removed more easily than conventional filters. By simply turning the filter with your hand it will release from the system. These replacement filters are always encapsulated witch make for more sanitary servicing and require no tools to replace the elements in a system.
