 The
Pinnacle+™ Series offers units in the
100 gal/day (400 L), 200 gal/day (800 L), and
450 gal/day (1700 L ) ranges. All Pinnacle+™
Units use the standard Seachem membranes which
remove 99% all of impurities including
silicates. |
|
|
|
| All
Pinnacle Units utilize John Guest© high impact
poly quickfit fittings. Across a host
of applications, John Guest fittings require no
special tools. Simply cut the tube square and
insert it into the fitting to effect a secure
and reliable connection. |
|
| Under
pressure? Bad for you, good for water--With
Pinnacle RO units, you can always check the pressure
of water moving through the membrane because,
unlike the oompetition, pressure gauges
are standard on all Pinnacle+ units. |
|
| Also
standard on Pinnacle+ units is an automatic
shut-off valve for easy addition of top
off or drinking water systems. You'll only find
this feature at an extra cost with competitors. |
| |
| External
flow restrictors for easy accessory add-ons
come with select units and will soon be standard
on all of our units. |
| |
| On
our 100 gal/day unit, we use one 100 gallon membrane
instead of two 50 gallon membranes like competitors.
This reduces cost at replacement time. |
 |
| High
Performance Filters. Each unit contains
two carbon pre-filters to ensure long membrane
life and one 1 micron sediment filter. |
|
| All
Pinnacle+ units use the highest
quality components available and
feature modular design to ensure easy accessory
add-ons. |

"Reverse
osmosis, also known as hyperfiltration, is the
finest filtration known. This process will allow
the removal of particles as small as ions from
a solution. Reverse osmosis is used to purify
water and remove salts and other impurities
in order to improve the color, taste or properties
of the fluid. It can be used to purify fluids
such as ethanol and glycol, which will pass
through the reverse osmosis membrane, while
rejecting other ions and contaminants from passing.
Reverse osmosis uses a membrane that is semi-permeable,
allowing the fluid that is being purified to
pass through it, while rejecting the contaminants
that remain. Reverse osmosis is capable of rejecting
bacteria, salts, sugars, proteins, particles,
dyes, and other constituents that have a molecular
weight of greater than 150-250 daltons. The
separation of ions with reverse osmosis is aided
by charged particles. This means that dissolved
ions that carry a charge, such as salts, are
more likely to be rejected by the membrane than
those that are not charged, such as organics.
The larger the charge and the larger the particle,
the more likely it will be rejected."
Rejection
is the term used to describe what a reverse
osmosis filter removes from the source water.
Pinnacle+™ reverse osmosis filters allow
for an overall rejection of 99% of all impurities
of source water. The following shows some of
the impurities removed and the levels at which
they are removed: |
