Multimedia Filter - removes incoming particles to a level of ten (10) microns. Softener - reduces hardness constituants in incoming water. Carbon Tanks - two (2) tanks in series that remove chlorine, chloramine, and organics. Ten (10) minutes empty bed time ensures complete chloramine removal. Reverse Osmosis Unit - removes 95-98% of incoming minerals and 99% of organics. This is the primary treatment in most instances. Water Storage Tank - retains product water from reverse osmosis unit as well as water recirculated through dialysis loop. Repressure Pumps - supply pressure of water out of storage tank to the post-treatment equipment and the loop. Deionizer - removes remaining minerals in RO product water as well as functions as a back-up to the reverse osmosis unit during periods of pre-teatment or RO problems. Ultraviolet Light - kills bacteria in product water of RO, DI, or from the recirculation loop. Submicron Filter - removes bacteria and particles greater than .2 micron from the product water and loop. Hollow Fiber Filter - provides pyrogen removal with .05 micron filtration. Technological Characteristics - Virginia Water systems claims equivalence in terms of technological characteristics, including design, material, chemical composition, and energy source as the predicate devices.
