| You will know the reverse osmosis system is removing dissolved solids from the tap water by the taste and clarity of the water. Juices and mixed drinks made with reverse osmosis water taste better than their counterparts made with tap water. In addition, ice cubes made with water treated by a reverse osmosis system are harder, clearer and last much longer. If you take two clean glasses of the same size and put ice cubes made with reverse osmosis water in one, and the same number of ice cubes made from tap water in the other, you will notice that it takes longer for the reverse osmosis ice cubes to melt. Also, when ice cubes made from tap water are melted in a glass, you will most likely see unsightly sediments on the bottom. This is not so with reverse osmosis water ice cubes. Another way of determining the amount of dissolved solids removed from tap water is with a conductivity meter. This meter measures the conductivity the dissolved solids impart to the water. This is converted on the meter scale into parts per million of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Premier offers a water sample kit for the testing of a customer's water to determine how the TFM membrane is working and when to replace it. Home Page | FAQs | Glossary | Contact Us |
