Whole House Reverse Osmosis System
Big Iron Drilling is very active in Whole House Reverse Osmosis Systems. The product water supplied from Reverse Osmosis is of excellent quality and solves a plethora of water treatment issues. The cost for a Whole House Reverse Osmosis is more than traditional water softener, iron removal systems, but the upside is the quality of the water can in many peoples eyes justify the expenditure.
Pre-treatment of the water prior to the Reverse Osmosis membrane is extremely important and is an integral part of the system. If the water going into the Reverse Osmosis unit itself is not of a required quality, then there will be resultant problems with the whole system.
As a result, this can turn people off from Whole House Reverse Osmosis. Big Iron Drilling is very fortunate to have patented pre-treatment equipment that is essential to the proper functionality of the whole Reverse Osmosis system. With our patented IronEater, patented Abrazor and patented Extender units, along with other proprietary products that Big Iron owns, they are essential in removing the precipitates from water prior to it entering the Reverse Osmosis membrane.
Also, if there are Tannins in the water, we have patent pending products on equipment that will remove the Tannin from the water prior to it going to the membrane. Precipitates going on to the membrane will foul the membrane reducing its life, causing more maintenance, servicing and deterioration of the membrane itself.
Further, the discharge or reject water from the Reverse Osmosis system, is also of significance in at least a couple of important ways. Number 1, the volume of discharge water is important and number 2, to where that discharge water is going. The discharge water can go off into a stream; can be fed to animals (such as larger animals) with no problem; it can be directed into a lagoon; or it can be run into the household septic system. With a household septic system, one must be careful that there will not be too much water directed there.
One of the major functions of the Reverse Osmosis system is to insure that there is no more water going into the family’s sewer systems than the sewer system can sensibly handle. In any event, Big Iron Drilling will evaluate the situation prior to making recommendations and quoting on equipment.
Reverse Osmosis is the product of the future and we presently have umpteen Whole House Reverse Osmosis units in the field stretching over a ten year period of time. People love them and we are having excellent results with them.
We also have to watch that with the water being so pure coming off the Reverse Osmosis unit, and being so very low in total dissolved solids (it is called “hungry water”), it can pull structural matter from piping and fixtures etc. In certain situations, we may have to include simple post treating equipment to neutralize the problem.
