5 Things You Need to Know Before Purchasing Slevoo RO System

  • It is a powered system, and it needs a power source. This unit requires a 120V outlet! If you have any issues with your electricity, be aware that this unit won’t function during your down times.
  • Please prepare a separate socket for the reverse osmosis water filtration system. Don’t share the power outlet with your garbage disposal or dishwasher as this unit won’t function when you tum off the wall switch.
  • Pressure lag is a common issue with tankless filtration units. we recommend you to purchase the PMT pressure tank to solve pressure lag. Low water pressure will reduce the flow of water coming from your faucet, resulting in more waste and decreasing the efficacy of filtration.
  • You can connect RO system to your refrigerator or ice maker using our available the bypass and accessory kit. If you need to connect tankless RO system to a refrigerator and ice maker, we recommend you to purchase the PMT pressure tank to solve different refrigerators/ice maker has various requirement of water pressure.
  • The tankless RO system will flush for 30 seconds every 24 hours, which keep the internal tubing/ RO membrane clean for your next consumption and prolongs the service life of the filters. In the process of completing these tasks, water will inevitably be spent, much like showering and cleaning your dishes. Note: They don’t waste water, they use it.

FAQS

Q: Can the RO system be connected to a refrigerator or ice maker?
A: Yes! You can connect RO system to your refrigerator or ice maker using our available the bypass and accessory kit (20 feet 1/4″ tubing x l; quick connect 1/4″ tee fitting x l; quick connect 1/4″ inline shut off valve x 1).
There are a fact you may need to know before connection: Since different refrigerator or ice maker has various requirement of water pressure, it’s not possible for our RO system to provide them all. Therefore, if you need to connect tankless RO system to a refrigerator and ice maker, we recommend you to purchase a small pressure water tank.

Q: Can I use my own faucet?
A: You could use your own RO faucet with our product, but not normal faucet for tap water. There are a few things you should know before using your own dedicated faucet: Firstly, our original faucet is equipped with a filter life indicator, which allows you to monitor the filters’ life easily. If you decide not to use it, this function will not be in effect. You can still check the indicators on the front panel for filter lifetime status. Secondly, your RO faucet should be able to connect with the outlet tubing of the RO system, which has a diameter of 1/4″. In addition, it should have a “Quick-Connect Fitting”. If the RO faucet does not meet one of these requirements, you will need to acquire a corresponding adapter, in order to complete the connection with the RO machine (we don’t carry those adapters). In summary, in order to achieve the best installation outcome, we do not recommend to use faucets other than the original one.

Q: Why does the water flow from the faucet briefly start strong, then stop for a few seconds before returning to normal?
A: Please be assured that the situation you described is a normal phenomenon. After the booster pump is started, the pressure cannot be transmitted to the faucet in time, resulting in insufficient water outlet pressure. If you mind, you can solve this problem by purchasing the PMT pressure tank.

Q: What is the surface material of the faucet? Brushed nickel or chrome?
A: Our faucet is made of food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, lead-free .

Q: Is it normal that the indicator light of the filter element is not on?
A: Please note that when not dispensing water, the indicators on the front panel will go out after a while to save power. When dispensing water, the indicators and the LED on faucet should be on.

Q: Does this do water softening ? Does it neutralize pH?
A: The RO system can reduce calcium and magnesium effectively (ca. 90%), so it can soften the water in a certain degree. Regarding the pH, please note that our RO system is not designed to adjust pH, so the pH will mainly depend on the pH of the source water.

Q: Will this unit still work during a power outage ?
A: It is a powered system, and it needs a power source. This unit requires a 120V outlet! If you have any issues with your electricity, be aware that this unit won’ t function during your down times .

Q: Is the RO system certified by the water quality association (wqa) as an ro unit (nsf/ansif58)?
A: Our water filtration unit is certified by SGS, against NSF/ANSI 58, EPA 537 Standard. and the RO membrane inside has been separately tested and certified by NSF/ANSI 58. The TDS removal rate of 600 GPD is 90%, and the TDS removal rate of 1000 GPD is 95%. Using 7-stage filtration system with a filtration accuracy of 0. 0001 µ m, to remove 99.99% of contaminants from tap water, including viruses, bacteria, chemicals (PFOA/PFOS, Pharmaceuticals), chromium, per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), fluoride, arsenic salt, iron, radium nitrate, calcium, particles, chloride, chlorine, lime scale, and heavy metals (Lead, Arsenic, etc).

How often do filters need to be replaced?
A: The lifetime of the filters in our RO system depends on 2 aspects: the total service time and the amount of filtered water. As long as one of these two limits has been reached, then the filter needs to be replaced. Detailed information as follows:

F2 600GPD RO system:

  • RO: 24 months I 1902 gal
  • PCF: 12 months I 95lgal

F3 l000GPD RO system:

  • RO: 36 months I 2853 gal
  • GAC: 12 months I 95lgal
  • PP+CB: 12 months I 95lgal

Note: Actual lifetime and condition of a filter may vary due to different quality of water supply or different water usage. You can check the indicators on the front panel for filter lifetime status. Also the indicator lights of faucet make it easy to know when it’s time to buy and change filters, helping to avoid a last-minute stress.

Truth About Reverse Osmosis Waste Water

Note: all reverse osmosis systems produce “wastewater” to discharge impurities.

About Pure to Drain Ratio?
The pure to drain ratio is a problem that needs to be viewed objectively. The ratio is not only affected by water source, water quality, temperature and pressure, but also closely related to the use of RO reverse osmosis membrane. All RO ratios are theoretical laboratory data and are calculated when the system is running at its optimum rate.

How The Reverse Osmosis Filtration Process Works?
RO water filtration system work in a complex manner. It use several filter cartridges, but the star of the show is the RO membrane. This membrane has tiny pores – much smaller than the pores on a standard cartridge filter – usually about 0.0001 microns. Water is forced through this RO membrane. The composition of the tiny water particles enables them to pass through the membrane, but the larger particles (contaminants like heavy metals, sediment, etc) in water, and are rejected by the membrane. Without “waste wate”, these contaminants would build up and up inside the RO chamber as water flowed through the system. With nowhere to go, the contaminants would simply bash against the membrane again and again. Over time, the excessive number of contaminants trapped in the chamber would end up damaging the RO membrane. How can this be prevented? When the contaminants reverberate back into the RO chamber, they’re washed away down a drainpipe with a small amount of water, much like showering and cleaning your dishes. This happens at an ongoing rate during the RO process. This is a good way to look at water filtration systems. They don’t waste water, they use it.

How Can We Minimize It?

Getting The Best Out Of “Wastewater”
Some filters recirculate discharge water, continually using it in the filtration process. This can lead to increased wear and tear on the filter, however, so it’s not necessarily the best option. You can use reverse osmosis waste water to water their plants, mop floors, clean dishes, flush toilets, and pre-rinse laundry. As long as you ‘re not drinking the water afterwards (since it typically has a higher percentage of contaminants compared to purified water), you’re good to go.

Ensure Proper Water Pressure Level
Reverse osmosis systems require a good water pressure to force water through the semi-permeable membrane. If your water pressure isn’t strong enough, there won’t be enough force to push water through the membrane quickly. The longer it takes to filter water, the more water is used in the process. Therefore, running at a household water pressure lower than the ideal 35-40 psi range can be counterproductive. If your pressure valve is okay and you are still running at low pressure, kindly check with your local water authority for possible pressure issues.

Perform Regular Maintenance
The only way to get the best out of reverse osmosis filters is to check on them regularly. Most reverse osmosis water filter systems come with a three or five-stage filter cartridge setup. The filter in each stage is different and made specifically for a group of contaminants. Thus, the service life of each filter is different. The average service life of a reverse osmosis filter is between a year and two years, but it may be shorter or longer. Actual lifetime and condition of a filter may vary due to different quality of water supply or different water usage.It is best to replace your filter once it expires. This, alongside other maintenance activities, can ensure you get the best filtration results and higher efficiency.

Fill Larger Containers to Optimize RO to Pure to Drain Ratio.
You will use more water if you primarily use the system to fill a small drinking glass. When you tum off the faucet a small amount of water flushes the system and flows through the waste tube. However, you can still achieve a very good RO to waste ratio if you simply fill a larger water containers. Like any good tool, it works best when used correctly.

The Frequently Asked Questions About Reverse Osmosis Waste Water

1. What do you do with waste water from reverse osmosis?
Some people use reverse osmosis waste water to water their plants, mop floors, clean dishes, flush toilets, and pre-rinse laundry. As long as you’re not drinking the water afterwards (since it typically has a higher percentage of contaminants compared to purified water), you’re good to go.

2. Why is there waste water in reverse osmosis?
The water isn’t being “wasted” per se; rather, it’s being used to create the high pressure required for the reverse osmosis process. Much like you wouldn’t say taking a bath is “wasting water,” it’s not completely accurate to describe reverse osmosis runoff as “waste.”

3. Can RO waste water be used for cooking?
Because of the higher-than-normal levels of contaminants in reverse osmosis waste water, it’s not generally recommended that you use it for cooking.

4. Is RO waste water good for bathing?
The high concentration of contaminants make RO waste water unsuitable for bathing as well. You should really only use it for watering plants or cleaning.

What Are TDS?
TDS stands for total dissolved solids, and represents the total concentration of dissolved substances in water, primarily inorganic salts and minerals. Most hobbyists endeavor to ensure that the lower the TDS, the better. However, a very low concentration of TDS has been found to give water a flat taste, which is undesirable to many people. That’s why you often see re-mineralizing filters on a lot of under-sink RO systems because the water tastes bland.

What Is TDS Creep?
This happens most often within 30 to 60 seconds of first turning on the faucet after an RO system sits idle and there is no active pressure being applied to the raw water side of the membrane, you’ll notice TDS rises briefly before dropping back down. This is known as TDS creep.

How to Explain This Occurrence?
This was a natural occurrence in the RO system for tankless designs. While the system is producing pure water, the pump provides the necessary pressure for the source water to go through the RO membrane. But after turning off the faucet, with the pump stopping, the internal pressure returns to normal. In that status, a natural phenomenon called “osmosis” takes place in the RO filter, until a dynamic balance of concentration is established on both sides of the RO membrane. As a result, the TDS of the remaining filtered water will go up gradually, the longer, the higher.

What’s the Solution?
A dramatic reduction in TDS can typically be seen after letting the faucet run for 30 seconds.
