STAGE 1 PARTICLE FILTER
A sediment filter in the first stage which will capture sand, iron particles and suspended matter. This filter has 3 layers. The outer layer has 10 µm, the middle layer has 5 µm and the inner layer has 1 µm. This traps the dirt throughout the filter making for more efficient filtration.
STAGE 2 & 3 ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER
Stages 2 and 3 have a coconut shell activated carbon filter which through adsorption filtration. This filter will adsorb Chlorine and other disinfectants used in the scheme water supply. Also, will protect the main component in the filtration system, the reverse osmosis membrane.
STAGE 4 REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE – WATER SOFTENER
The reverse osmosis membrane is the third stage which captures all the calcium, salts, organic and inorganic molecules with the result being softened water.
Additionally, this prevents the accumulation of scale within the Autoclave Sterilizer protecting the machine from corrosion producing high purity steam during the sterilization process.
STAGE 5 & 6 ION EXCHANGE FILTERS
Stages 5 and 6 consist of ion exchange filters that further reduce the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) from the water. The complete process as explained allows the water to have a TDS reading of Zero, ideal for the sterilization of medical equipment.
