Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems are an effective way to provide purified drinking water on tap. One way to ensure years of great-tasting water is to sanitize the system when changing the filters.
When a Reverse Osmosis Drinking water system is not properly cared for, bacteria begin to grow and multiply wherever the water sits, including inside R.O. tanks and hoses. This bacterium can grow even in chlorinated supplies, as some R.O. filters remove chlorine, which dissipates over time and loses its effectiveness.
At Charger, we carry the Pro Products Sani-System sanitizer packets. The Sani-System Liquid Sanitizer Concentrate is the only EPA and NSF-approved sanitizer for use in reverse osmosis systems. It has been proven to kill 99.9% of harmful bacteria without using chlorine, oxidizers, or acids that can harm the system. When used as directed, Sani-System kills bacteria such as Staph and e coli. It eliminates odors and sanitizes tank lines and faucets.
