Reverse Osmosis Filtration Systems
Reverse osmosis systems are very effective at removing contaminants out of the water. In fact, they are the most effective filtration system available at taking out contaminates as they
removes up to 98% of chemicals, heavy metals, sediment, and other contaminants that other systems fail to remove.
However there are a couple of areas of concern for some consumers. One is that during the process of filtering the water, only around 20% is delivered and 80% is wasted down the drain.
The solution to this is to add an optional "permeate" pump. This is a hydraulic pump that doesn't require any electricity and improves membrane life, decreases product fill time by up to 65%, reduces drain waste water by up to 80% and increases product tank pressure. Although an $85.00 option we recommend it for every Tap Master™ system. It is installed at the factory with the system.
The second concern is that since
reverse osmosis systems
are so good at taking out contaminants out of the water, they also take out minerals, including the good ones.
Better Water Store and Tap Master offers a solution in the Tap Master Artesian™ and Tap Master Artesian Full Contact™ systems by adding a mineral cartridge to the system. Depending on which system it either goes through once or twice through this cartridge and picks up both pH and essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

reverse osmosis system are available on each product page.
