Consider this: a large percentage of residential water sources have sand, silt, sediment, or some other form of organic materials present in the water. This is most common in well water or private water supplies, although certain large cities like New York City have a very old underground water supply infrastructure and as a result a great deal of sediment, silt and other particulate matter present in their drinking water, which can cause serious issues with your reverse osmosis units if not remediated. Pre-filtration of the source water is an inexpensive way to reduce or eliminate these undesirable materials before they enter your RO or RODI unit. Read on for more info…
