What is Water Conditioning?
Water conditioning is a broader term that also includes water softening. But in layperson’s terms, it refers to any water treatment that removes or adds elements to your water. When we talk about water softening, conditioning is, in effect, eliminating calcium and magnesium from hard water. But conditioning is not only the removal of harmful elements. Adding minerals to water can also be considered water conditioning, so we usually only use the term water softener to define our Progressive Series water conditioning systems. But our system does a lot more than simply removing scale from water. Our systems also feature carbon and a unique media that helps mitigate bacterial growth, providing even cleaner, healthier water with much less chlorine before entering the RO filtration stage. Removing chlorine extends the useful life of the RO membrane element, which is crucial in filtering your home’s water.
Reverse Osmosis
Well, you guessed it, reverse osmosis is yet another form of water conditioning. Our featured P-550 RO, part of our Progressive Revolution Series, counts with multiple stages of filtration. Each one is designed to be used in succession to the one before.
The first stage is a sediment filter that captures the larger particles that might be present in your water. It is followed by a carbon exchange model that further helps remove any remaining chlorine from the water before entering the RO membrane stage.
The membrane is the one that puts the RO in reverse osmosis. Its purpose is to remove the smallest elements present in your water. It is so effective that it can eliminate up to 98% of all contaminants from your water supply. But the conditioning does not stop there. The water is further treated in two additional stages, removing any foul odor or bad taste from your water.
After all this water conditioning, the result is pristine, pure-tasting water that will make your coffee taste better than any you had before.
