FAQs
How does a reverse-osmosis (RO) unit from Reliance purify my water, and what contaminants does it remove?
Our RO systems force water through a semi-permeable membrane under pressure. The membrane’s microscopic pores (≈0.0001 µm) allow only water molecules to pass, rejecting up to 95–99 % of dissolved salts (TDS), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, chromium), fluoride, nitrates, pesticides, pharmaceutical residues, and most microorganisms. Pre-filters (sediment and activated carbon) trap rust, silt, chlorine, and organic compounds before they reach the membrane, while optional post-filtration (UV or carbon polishing) ensures taste and microbiological safety.
What inlet conditions and plumbing requirements do I need before installing a Reliance RO unit?
For optimal performance you’ll need: • Feed pressure: 40–80 psi (2.8–5.5 bar). Below 40 psi we supply a booster-pump model; above 80 psi a pressure-reducing valve is recommended. • Temperature: 5–38 °C (41–100 °F). • TDS ≤ 2,000 ppm; higher salinity may require a custom membrane. • A ½-inch cold-water line with an isolation valve, one standard 110/220 V outlet for the pump/UV, and a nearby drain connection for reject water. Our technicians handle all plumbing work, including saddle valves, drain saddles, and NSF-certified tubing.
How often do I need to replace filters and the RO membrane, and what warning signs should I watch for?
Typical residential usage (10–12 L/day) requires: • Sediment filter: every 6–12 months or if pressure drops noticeably. • Carbon pre-filter: every 6–12 months or if chlorine taste/odor returns. • RO membrane: every 24–36 months, or sooner if TDS reduction falls below 80 %. • Post-carbon/UV lamp: 12 months (lamp) or when taste deteriorates. Indicators include slower flow, rising TDS on a handheld meter, or unusual taste/odor. Reliance offers automated reminders and preventive maintenance visits so you never miss a change-out.
Is RO water safe for drinking and cooking, and does it remove healthy minerals?
Yes. RO water meets or exceeds WHO and BIS (IS 10500) drinking-water standards. While the membrane strips most dissolved solids—including calcium, magnesium, and potassium—your diet supplies the vast majority of these minerals, so health impact is negligible. If you prefer a balanced taste and slight mineral content, we can add an NSF-certified remineralization cartridge that re-introduces calcium and magnesium and raises pH to ~7.5.
What maintenance and after-sales support does Reliance provide?
Reliance offers: • Free site survey and professional installation. • One-year comprehensive warranty covering parts and labor. • Optional Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) that includes two preventive services, membrane cleaning, sanitization, filter kits, performance verification, and emergency breakdown calls within 24 hours. • Genuine spare parts, 24×7 helpline, and a nationwide service network. All technicians are trained, background-verified, and carry TDS meters to validate water quality before leaving your premises.
How much wastewater does an RO unit generate, and can I reuse it?
A standard residential RO discards 2–3 litres of concentrate for every litre of purified water (recovery 25–35 %). Efficiency depends on feed TDS and pressure; models with an internal recirculation pump can reach 50 % recovery. Discharge water is not harmful—it contains the same minerals at higher concentration and is chlorine-free—so it can be routed to floor mopping, toilet flushing, car washing, or gardening (non-edible plants). Our installers can plumb a separate reject-water line or storage tank on request.
