RO Home System Flow Restrictors

Using the proper flow restrictor in a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is crucial for several important reasons:

• Maintains Correct Pressure Balance: Ensures the proper pressure across the membrane, which is essential for effective filtration.

• Controls Wastewater Flow: Regulates the amount of water going to the drain, preventing excessive water waste.

• Protects the Membrane: Prevents damage to the RO membrane by maintaining the correct back pressure, helping to prolong its lifespan.

• Ensures Efficient Performance: Helps the RO system operate at optimal efficiency, producing the right amount of purified water.

• Improves Water Quality: Supports consistent water quality by maintaining the proper flow rate and contact time through the membrane.

• Reduces System Stress: Prevents overworking of the pump and other components, reducing maintenance needs and potential breakdowns.
