We are capable of supplying a wide range of water filtration and reverse osmosis systems suited to all kinds of applications. We specialise in systems suited anywhere from small scale domestic portable and under sink filters up to large commercial or industrial grade RO systems. We also supply replacement parts and filters for most systems and offer services such as repair, refurbishment and modification of existing systems in our Maroochydore QLD factory.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a reverse filtration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. In order to be 'selective', this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions through the pores (holes) but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely.

None! It's best to avoid any chlorine in your drinking water. Chlorine is needed to kill bacteria but should definitely be removed prior to consumption which can be done easily and without costing too much.
These are just different rating scales i.e. a 5-micron nominal filter must remove at least 85% or more of particles of five microns and larger whereas a absolute 5 micron filter should trap 99.9% of particles of 5 microns and larger. For most purposes nominal filtration is fine unless very high-grade water is required or micro-organisms like giardia, cryptosporidium and blastocysts need to be removed then an absolute-rated filter may be needed.
A filter designed to strain out particles like rust, silt, sand and clay. Sediment filters normally do not remove chemical contaminants and are typically used as pre-filters to carbon filter which do remove a range of chemicals.
Ceramic filters are very fine filters whose absolute filtration rating is too tight to allow the passage of bacteria if less than 0.2 micron or pathogens like cryptosporidium or giardia if less than 1 micron absolute. Ceramic cartridges 'purify' by straining out pathogens. They do not remove chemicals (unless accompanied by an additive, like carbon, that does).
A filter that works without water pressure. You pour water into an upper chamber, and it filters through to a lower containment vessel.
'Chlorine / Taste / Odour' reduction. Filter makers use this designation for filters for which the maker only claims aesthetic improvement (although the filter may well do much more than promised).
Kinetic degradation fluxion is a metallic (copper | zinc) filter medium used to remove free chlorine, lead, iron, and hydrogen sulphide. It is usually used in conjunction with activated carbon. The treatment process is usually referred to as "redox," which describes the interaction of dissimilar metals.
Granular activated carbon filters are loose-fill filters in which the carbon is essentially the consistency of coffee grounds. These filters are generally inexpensive, and you can also fill these filter cartridges yourself. Carbon block filters are filters in which the carbon is pressed or moulded into a tight block-like structure. Generally speaking, carbon block filters are more effective than GAC filters. Carbon block filters are radial flow water filters.
Reverse osmosis treatment (RO) is a process where water is purified using a semi-permeable membrane at high pressure. Pressure is applied continuously to the feedwater, forcing water molecules through the semi-permeable membrane. Water that passes through the membrane leaves the unit as product water; most of the dissolved impurities and minerals remain behind and are discharged in a waste stream.
The best and purest water you can drink is reverse osmosis purified water with an in line mineral cartridge after the RO membrane. We purify our water; stripping it from all harmful chemicals as well as sediment. But in this process we also remove the minerals from the water. We then recommend mineralising your water making it the purest healthiest water you can drink.
