Reverse osmosis is a process that filters and rids water of all its impurities. Namely chemical elements such as lead, nitrates, aluminum or softener salt, and pollutants such as pesticides and drug residues. Not to mention viruses, bacteria and parasites. In short, all the harmful elements that accumulate in tap water during its treatment or during its transport in the pipes. Reverse osmosis is a natural treatment whose process is done by means of a water purifier with a membrane that only lets water molecules pass through. We then obtain purified water, as pure as spring water.

Tap water: Odors, impurities and invisible dangers. Tap water, although used daily, is not always free of unpleasant surprises. Indeed, it can contain various undesirable elements that affect its taste, its smell and its clarity. Pollutants, viruses, limescale, chlorine, heavy metals, rust, sediment and salinity are just a few examples of the substances that can be found in the water we consume.

AQUABO osmosis systems work thanks to a multi-step process that purifies water by eliminating unwanted impurities. Here is a simplified overview of the operation: 1 - Pre-filtration: The water first passes through sediment and activated carbon filters. These filters remove visible particles, chlorine, taste and unpleasant odors. 2 - Reverse osmosis: This is the key step in the process. The water passes through a semi-permeable membrane that retains dissolved contaminants, heavy metals, bacteria and viruses. Only pure water passes through the membrane. 3 - Post-filtration: A final activated carbon filter may be present to remove any remaining traces of impurities and refine the taste of the water. 4 - Remineralization (optional): Some AQUABO models offer a final remineralization step. The water is enriched with essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can improve the taste and healthiness of the purified water. In summary, AQUABO osmosis systems use a combination of filtration and membrane technologies to remove a wide range of impurities from tap water, thus offering you pure and healthy water for your consumption.

Replacing the membrane of an AQUABO osmosis system: The membrane is an essential element of the osmosis system, as it filters impurities and guarantees pure water. Its lifespan generally varies between 2 and 5 years, but it is important to check its performance regularly using a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) tester.

AQUABO water filters can be an ecological gesture by reducing the consumption of plastic bottles, the transport of water, the consumption of water and by improving the quality of drinking water. Choosing a water filter made from durable and recyclable materials is also an important gesture for the protection of the environment.

Differences between AQUABO HND and Jaco replacement filters: - Jaco filters: threaded connection, compatible with old models of AQUABO osmosis systems or equivalent. - HND filters: quick connection, new generation of AQUABO filters, installation and replacement without tools.

Replacing the membrane of an AQUABO osmosis system: Plan to change the membrane every 2 years. For better accuracy, measure its effectiveness with a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) tester. If the TDS of the purified water is greater than 100 ppm (or 10% of the TDS of the tap water), replace the membrane. Tips for extending the life of the membrane: -Replace the pre-filters regularly (approximately every 6 to 12 months). -Do not leave the osmosis system inactive for long periods.
