Express Water

<p>If your area has hard water we recommend running your water through a water softener before it enters the RO System. A water softener helps extend the life of the RO System. Water Softeners remove calcium and magnesium by adding sodium to water. Calcium and magnesium are two of the hardest minerals for an RO Membrane to remove. Sodium (added to the water by the softener) is much easier on the membrane. 98% of the sodium water softeners add are removed by the membrane.</p><p>If you don&#x2019;t have a water softener the Reverse Osmosis process will soften water. However. hard water (above 7 grains of hardness) will shorten the life of the RO Membrane. The harder the water, the shorter the lifespan. We recommend using a water softener if your area has hard water. The softener should take effect before the water enters the RO System.</p>
