FAQs

What contaminants does a reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking station remove from Seymour’s municipal or bore water?

RO membranes block particles down to 0.0001 micron, so they strip out up to 99 % of dissolved salts, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, chromium), nitrates/nitrites, chlorine by-products, micro-plastics, pesticides, and most bacteria and viruses. An activated-carbon pre-filter also removes taste- and odour-causing chlorine or sulphur, which are occasionally detected in Seymour’s town supply.

How does a reverse-osmosis drinking station actually work?

Water first passes through a sediment filter to catch sand, rust and silt. It then flows through a carbon block to adsorb chlorine and organic chemicals. The pressurised water is forced across the semi-permeable RO membrane; pure H₂O diffuses through while contaminants are flushed to drain. Finally, a post-carbon ‘polishing’ filter and optional remineraliser balance taste before the water is dispensed through the dedicated faucet.

How often do I need to change filters and membranes?

In a typical four-stage RO under-sink system used by a family of four in Seymour: • Sediment & carbon pre-filters: every 6–12 months (more frequently if you rely on tank/bore supply with higher sediment). • RO membrane: every 2–3 years, provided feed-water TDS is under 750 ppm and filters are changed on time. • Post-carbon or remineraliser: every 12 months. Our service team logs each installation and sends you reminders or can perform a turnkey maintenance visit.

What is involved in the installation and how long does it take?

We mount the RO unit in the cabinet under your kitchen sink, connect it to the cold-water line with an isolation valve, install a small storage tank (typically 8–12 L), run a drain saddle to the waste pipe, and drill a 12-mm hole in the benchtop or sink deck for the dedicated faucet. A standard install in Seymour’s timber-frame homes takes 2–3 hours; stone or porcelain benches may require extra time for core drilling.

Does an RO system waste water and can it be minimised?

Yes. Conventional systems produce about 1 part purified water to 3–4 parts reject water. However, modern high-efficiency membranes and pressure-boost pumps we supply can cut the ratio to 1:1 ½. The reject stream is clean enough for gardening, toilet cisterns or laundry pre-wash; many Seymour customers collect it in a small tank to offset usage during summer water restrictions.

Is RO water safe and healthy for long-term drinking given the minerals it removes?

Reverse osmosis does strip most dissolved minerals, but these account for only about 5 % of your daily intake—the majority comes from food. RO water is therefore safe for all ages. If you prefer a ‘spring-water’ taste or need alkalinity for coffee brewing, we can add an NSF-certified calcium–magnesium remineralisation cartridge to restore 20–40 mg/L of hardness without re-introducing contaminants.
