Pure Water Reverse Osmosis System 75 GPD Without Pump
A Pure Water Reverse Osmosis (RO) System with a capacity of 75 Gallons Per Day (GPD) without a pump is a reliable water purification solution designed for residential use. It effectively removes contaminants from water, providing safe and clean drinking water. Here’s a detailed overview of this system:System Overview:
- Reverse Osmosis Technology: This RO system uses a semipermeable membrane to remove dissolved salts, heavy metals, chemicals, and other impurities from water. The process involves forcing water through the membrane, leaving contaminants behind.
- 75 GPD Capacity: The system is capable of producing up to 75 gallons of purified water per day, making it suitable for small to medium-sized households.
- No Pump: The system operates without a pump, meaning it relies on the natural water pressure of the incoming supply. It’s best suited for areas where water pressure is sufficient (typically above 40 psi).
Key Components:
-
Pre-Filters:
- Sediment Filter: The first stage typically involves a sediment filter that removes larger particles like sand, silt, and rust.
- Carbon Block Filter: The second stage usually features a carbon block filter, which reduces chlorine, chloramines, and organic chemicals that could damage the RO membrane.
-
RO Membrane:
- High-Quality Membrane: The RO membrane is the heart of the system, capable of filtering out particles as small as 0.0001 microns. This removes dissolved solids, heavy metals, and contaminants like lead, fluoride, and nitrates.
-
Post-Filter:
- Polishing Filter: After water passes through the RO membrane, it often goes through a final post-filter (typically a carbon filter) to improve taste and odor.
-
Storage Tank:
- Pressurized Tank: The system usually includes a small pressurized storage tank to hold the purified water, ensuring a ready supply when needed.
Advantages:
- Effective Contaminant Removal: RO systems are known for their ability to remove a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals, salts, and harmful chemicals, providing high-quality drinking water.
- Low Maintenance: Without a pump, the system has fewer moving parts, resulting in lower maintenance and reduced chances of mechanical failure.
- Quiet Operation: The absence of a pump makes the system quieter during operation, which can be a significant advantage in residential settings.
Considerations:
- Water Pressure: Since the system lacks a pump, it relies entirely on the incoming water pressure. If the pressure is too low, the system's efficiency may be reduced, and it might produce water more slowly.
- Water Wastage: Like all RO systems, it produces wastewater. The ratio can vary depending on water pressure and membrane efficiency. Typically, without a pump, the waste-to-purified water ratio might be higher.
- Flow Rate: The flow rate of purified water might be slower compared to systems with a pump, especially if the incoming water pressure is on the lower side.
Applications:
- Residential Use: This system is ideal for homes with a sufficient water pressure supply, providing high-quality drinking water for cooking and drinking.
- Apartments: Compact and quiet, it’s suitable for apartments or small households that require efficient water purification.
Installation Considerations:
- Check Water Pressure: Before installing, it’s essential to ensure that the water pressure meets the system’s requirements. If the pressure is too low, a booster pump might be necessary.
- Regular Filter Replacement: Filters and the RO membrane should be replaced periodically to maintain the system's performance. Sediment and carbon filters typically need replacing every 6-12 months, while the RO membrane might last 2-3 years.

KOBUS GREYLING Nice system, unfortunately not working as expected in my application....water from tap only dripping when opened....the system should come with a pressure pump to operate properly.
