1. A semi permeable membrane is a barrier that will pass some particles like clean drinking water but not other particles like arsenic and lead Reverse osmosis uses a Semi permeable membrane however by applying pressure across the membrane it concentrates contaminants like a strainer on one side of the membrane producing crystal clear water on the other This is why RO systems produce both clean drinking water and waste water that is flushed from the system This reverse osmosis system also utilizes carbon block filtration technology and can therefore provide a higher quality drinking water than carbon filtration systems alone Your system is a four GTS450 or five GTS550 stage RO which is based upon separate treatment segments within the one complete water filtration system These stages are as follows 5 Stage RO System has 3 vertical bowls 4 Stage RO System has 2 vertical bowls Stage 1 Sediment filter recommended change 6 months The first stage of your RO system is a five micron sediment filter that traps sediment and other particulate matter like dirt silt and rust which affect the taste and appearance of your water Stage 2 and 3 Carbon filters recommended change 6 months Stage 3 Only on the GTS550 model The second and third stages each contain a 5 micron carbon block filter This helps ensure that chlorine chloramines and other materials that cause bad taste and odor are greatly reduced Stage 4 Memb
