A: Most reverse osmosis systems operate quietly. Some noise may come from the water pump or the flushing process, but it is generally minimal and not disruptive.

A: A reverse osmosis system can last 10+ years, depending on usage, maintenance, and the quality of the system. Regular filter changes and proper care can extend its lifespan. Some of our customers have been using their same RO drinking water system for 15+ years!

Air pressure regulators are essential components that control and maintain a consistent level of air pressure within a pneumatic system. By ensuring a stable air pressure, these regulators help equipment operate safely, efficiently, and effectively, minimizing downtime and enhancing productivity.

Each category includes a variety of regulators in different sizes, materials, and pressure ranges, ensuring that you can find the perfect solution for your specific needs. Trust ControlAir for reliable and efficient air pressure regulation solutions.

A: Reverse osmosis water filters remove the majority of inorganic minerals from water, greatly improving the taste and odor of drinking water. However, removing these minerals does not make reverse osmosis filtered water unhealthy. The minerals found in water are typically in an inorganic state that our bodies cannot easily digest. Our primary source of essential minerals comes from food, which provides them in a more digestible form.

Precision Air Pressure Regulators are ControlAir core product line. When ControlAir first got started, we built our business around manufacturing precision air pressure regulators. The Type 100, one of our first models and approved for use in oxygen ventilators in 1989, is still widely used today. The thing that sets precision regulators apart from general use regulators is mainly their accuracy and sensitivity. You can think of sensitivity as a regulator’s ability to react to changes in air pressure relative to the unit’s set point. The Type 100, for example, has a sensitivity of 1/8” water column. That means that if the output pressure differs from the set pressure by about 0.0045 PSI, the unit will make a correction to bring output pressure back to the setpoint. We are able to achieve this high level of sensitivity by keeping the diaphragm of the unit in a reactive state. We do this by constantly bleeding a small amount of air, which never lets the diaphragm settle. The same principle is used in the Type 700; however, we are able to achieve the constant bleed without the use of a bleed screw. All of our precision air pressure regulators have a sensitivity less than 1” water column or about 0.036 PSI. Some of the more common applications of these units include medical OEMs, web tensioning, ventilators, calibration standards, and microfluidics.

A: Yes, reverse osmosis water is often better than bottled water because it is produced on-demand and avoids the environmental impact of plastic bottles. Additionally, RO systems typically offer better filtration compared to standard bottled water.

Understanding a Regulator Flow Characteristic Curve What is the Difference Between a Relieving and Non-Relieving Regulator? Cv and Your Pressure Regulator

A: Yes, many reverse osmosis systems are designed for DIY installation. However, if you're unsure, it may be beneficial to hire a professional to ensure proper setup and functionality.

Waterpressureregulator

A: Reverse osmosis filters water by forcing it through a semi-permeable membrane that traps contaminants and allows only clean water to pass through. This process removes impurities like PFOS, lead, pesticides and other chemicals.

A: A reverse osmosis water filter system is a filtration setup that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove impurities from water. It typically includes pre-filters, the RO membrane, a post-filter, and a storage tank.

A: Yes, reverse osmosis is one of the most effective filtration methods, removing up to 99% of contaminants, including heavy metals, chemicals, and dissolved solids, for pure drinking water.

ControlAir specializes in three main categories of air pressure regulators: Precision Regulators, Filter Regulators, and General Purpose Regulators. Precision Regulators are known for their high accuracy and sensitivity, making them perfect for applications requiring precise pressure control. Filter Regulators are essential for air preparation, protecting sensitive downstream equipment by removing contaminants, thereby prolonging equipment lifespan and maintaining optimal performance. General Purpose Regulators offer a balance between economy and efficiency, making them versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.

Reverse osmosis water filters remove up to 99% of contaminants and impurities from water. Achieve fresh, great-tasting drinking water with RO water filtration.

A: Reverse osmosis filters use a semipermeable membrane to remove contaminants at a molecular level, making a very effective method to reduce or remove dozens of contaminants. Other filtration methods such as activated carbon or other media remove larger particles, chemicals and sediment.

A: Yes, reverse osmosis (RO) water is safe to drink. It effectively reduces up to 99% of nearly 100 contaminants such as heavy metals, chemicals, and PFOS. While RO filters removes some minerals in water, the minerals our bodies need are primarily obtained through the food we eat, so mineral absence in water does not make it unhealthy. In fact, RO water is often considered safer than unfiltered tap water, especially in areas with water quality concerns.

A: The best filter for drinking water depends on your specific needs. Reverse osmosis systems are excellent for comprehensive filtration, while other filters like UV disinfection or carbon filters may be better suited for targeting specific contaminants.

General Purpose Regulators are a more appropriate selection when cost is a priority over precision. We see our general purpose regulators often used in OEM applications.  While most of our precision regulators are sensitive to 1/8” water column, our general purpose regulators, like the Type 400, are sensitive to 1” water column or 0.036 PSI. Since these units are not designed to bleed a small amount of air however, you will see generally less air consumption when using a general purpose regulator. These types of air pressure regulators see a lot of use in the fluid power industry as well as process control instrumentation and panels. Since they are more economic, they make good units to regulate individual service lines rather than the main shop airline, which would require a unit with a greater flow allowance.

Filter Regulators are vital air preparation devices when it comes to protecting your sensitive downstream equipment. The purpose of a filter regulator is to clean the air line of moisture and particulates all while reducing air pressure to a setpoint. This is essential when it comes to protecting expensive lab equipment, valve positioners, or I/P transducers. The regulating principles are the same here as they are for all air pressure regulators. However, we are forcing the supply air through a sintered polyethene filter, either 40 or 5 microns in size, to filter out moisture and very small particulates from the supply air. Everything that is filtered out of the air is captured in a drip well and can be either manually drained or automatically drained whenever the fluid hits a certain point. ControlAir’s filter regulators all have a sensitivity of 1” water column and are available in aluminum or stainless steel, as well as relieving or non-relieving.

A: Drinking enough water is essential for kidney health and disease prevention. Ensure you're consuming RO filtered water, as RO water filters can remove harmful impurities that may cause health issues.

A: One disadvantage is that reverse osmosis systems can waste water during the filtration process. Fortunately, new water-conserving technology allows for an RO recovery rate of 1:1 rather than the typical 4:1 waste water ratio. Check out the water-conserving PuROTwist RO system.
