Aqua Queen RO System - Dissolved Solids: RO systems are particularly efficient at removing dissolved solids, including minerals, salts, and other inorganic substances. This is essential for improving the taste and quality of water. Heavy Metals: Many RO membranes can effectively filter out heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, providing a significant improvement in water safety. Bacteria and Microorganisms: The semi-permeable membrane in an RO system is capable of blocking bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, contributing to the overall disinfection of water. Chlorine and Chlorine By-Products: RO systems often include pre-filters or post-filters that help remove chlorine and its by-products, which can affect the taste and odor of water. Organic Compounds: Some RO membranes can effectively reduce the presence of organic compounds, such as pesticides and certain industrial chemicals, improving the overall purity of water. Turbidity and Sediment: Pre-filtration stages in RO systems target larger particles, sediment, and turbidity, preventing them from reaching and potentially damaging the RO membrane. Nitrates and Sulfates: RO systems can address the presence of nitrates and sulfates in water, which can have adverse health effects if consumed in high concentrations. Fluoride: Certain RO membranes are designed to reduce fluoride levels in drinking water.
