Experienced Reverse Osmosis users/installers only, please.
Know anything about RO systems? Which clogs up the filter quicker (undersink RO) --soft or hard water?
I am assuming you know what osmosis is, and therefore can deduct what reverse osmosis is. Only about a quarter (25%) of the water that goes into a RO unit comes out as good water. The others is directed to the drain. The membrane in the unit allows only water to pass through, albeit, very slowly. The other water is washed away to the drain, taking with it alot of the impurities in the water. Since the membrane is being continuously washed, it takes a very long time to clog up the membrane. You can even further extend this time by putting a particulate filter upstream of the RO.
But to answer your question, since water is %26quot;hard%26quot; because of particulate minerals such as cacium and magnesium and iron, the hard water would clog your filter faster. Water is %26quot;soft%26quot; when these minerals have been removed by an ionic exchange in a resin bed.
IM or email me if you want further discussion.
