How to add a pH filter to your Reverse-Osmosis system.

Have you thought about upgrading your Reverse-Osmosis system to include a pH filter? 

These filters are either called alkaline filters or calcite filters which virtually do the same thing - they raise the pH of your water while adding in some nutrients to your water. pH is the acidity of your water, in a later blog we will go over the science behind your pH balance. Today we are going to briefly explain how to add one of these filters to your Reverse-Osmosis systems.

In order to add a pH filter to your system just remember it should be the 5th stage of filtration - before the smallest filter on top. This may seem intimidating at first, just remember to follow the flow. The pictures below will be best to demonstrate how the setup should be. 

The first picture shows the membrane on the bottom going into the auto shut-off valve with red tubing.

The next picture shows red tubing going from the Auto Shut-off Valve to the Calcite filter. 

Remember to, "follow the flow."

The final picture to the left shows the calcite filter which connects to the polishing filter on top. Keep in mind the red tubing to the left of the Tee would go to your storage tank. You may notice that our setup uses 2 brackets to hold the Omnipure Calcite filter in place. You may need to pick up those brackets as well when you install the filter, if you don't have them no need to worry as the system will still work but we recommend the use of them.

If you pick up a Calcite filter or an Alkaline filter and need help installing it on your Reverse-Osmosis system give us a call, we'd be happy to help you out over the phone or in person.
