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.
