The working of system Aquarius-ro is based op the principle of reverse osmosis. This is by far the most perfected water purification principle. It is used among other things in space travel and in the medical industry (i.e. haemodialysis).

By creating a difference in pressure on a semipermeable membrane, the latter starts to act as a filter. The water is pushed through a sieve with microscopically small holes. So small, that only water and oxygen molecules can pass through. Even viruses and bacteria are stopped. What rests is the purest water you can imagine, ideal for consumption and household or industrial use.

System Aquarius-ro consists among other things of these important parts:

· Pump barrels.
· Membrane housing.
· Electronic controls.
· Anti-scaling / anti-fouling system.
· Soft starters.
· Ball valve.
· Rinsing system.
· Storage container (optional).
· Stainless steel frame.

System Aquarius-ro can be used to purify water with a TDS of up to 10,000 mg/l (Total Dissolved Solids). The system is entirely digitally programmed and is controlled automatically.

Anti-scalant / anti-foulant injection pump

The membranes of a reverse osmosis installation can become filthy just like for example the oil filter in a car. Over time, an oil filter will become clogged and will have to be replaced. Normally, the membrane in an osmosis system would also clog up. Waste products like sodium (salt), calcium, chloride, remains of medicines etc can easily become attached to the membranes, because they are being pushed up against them at high pressure.
That is why system Aquarius-ro has been equipped with an automatic rinsing system, where an anti-scalant / anti-foulant is added. This prevents the pollution from attaching itself to the membrane. With the special anti-scalant / anti-foulant injection pump, the automatic dosage is regulated very precisely.

Pump barrels with pump

The pump system of system Aquarius-ro is a principal constituent of the patent covering the machine. This system, which was developed by Artemis Systems, consists of stainless steel pump with a stainless steel electric motor in a stainless steel housing. Thanks to the special housing, the motor does not need its own cooling system, but it is cooled by water to be purified. This pump housing also works very sound-insulating, creating a nearly noiseless pump system.

Soft starters

System Aquarius-ro is equipped with a special soft starter. This ensures the gradual start of the pump and prevents unpleasant clapping noises of the pump relay when the pump starts. This prolongs the lifespan of the pump considerably and also puts less of a strain on the electricity grid of your home.

Ball valve

The water to be purified enters the machine through a special ball valve. This ball valve is controlled by the computer and opened or closed by a electric servomotor. This happens gradually to prevent water shocks or thrusts in the pipes. This also has a favorable effect on the filters and membranes in the machine.

Rinsing system

1. After the production of the clean water, the pipes and the membrane pressure pipes are rinsed with the supply water, resulting in the concentrate being replaced with cleaner water. This prevents the pollution of becoming attached to the membranes.
2. An additional rinsing system makes sure that the pipes and the membranes are rinsed with clean water if the machine has not delivered any clean water production for over an hour. Afterwards, this process is repeated every 48 hours. This way, the machine will continuously rinse itself. Especially in homes which are not permanently lived-in, this is of importance. If after some time, clean water is needed again, the machine will automatically start. So you do not have to worry about the reliability of system Aquarius-ro.
