A. Reverse Osmosis (R.O.), is a process in which water is forced through a semipermeable membrane. Openings in the membrane are small enough to hold back most dissolved minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, flouride and chloride. The process is relatively new for home use and has become widely available since about 1980.

A. The standard unit we sell at Scheopner's is rated at 25gpd (gallons per day). A 45gpd unit is also available. Booter pumps can also be added to increase the output of either.

A. Yes it can. It can even be hooked up to ice makers. So you have good clear ice all the time.

A. Scheopner's has chosen the highest quality R.O. available. The Hydrotech Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System combines mechanical filtration with reverse osmosis technology for effective water treatment in point-of-use applications. The system is manufactured using the finest materials available, including National Sanitation Foundation approved plastics. The system is 100% tested and sanitized in preparation for shipment. Hydrotech drinking water systems are equipped with a patented Smartap Monitor which compares the feed water to the product water to determine membrane performance. The Smartap Monitor reports the results by illuminating colored lights. The Smartap push button monitor is activated at the touch of a button. The integrity of this proven, leading edge technology provides the customer with consistent, reliable system performance.
