The
Biggest Innovation in Residential Reverse Osmosis:
Continuous Flow, With No Storage Tank!
GE Infrastructure Water and Process Technologies has achieved a
revolutionary breakthrough in the water treatment industry.
Out-of-the-box thinking and years of research have produced a totally
new point-of-use drinking water system. The new Merlin RO System
features continuous-flow water production of 0.5+ gallons per minute, so
a storage tank is no longer required. RO water on demand!
The
unit operates on line pressure, which eliminates the need for an
electrical pump in most applications. The patented high-production, twin
low-energy membranes purifies up to 720 gallons of water per day - an
endless supply! Families will enjoy using pure RO water for drinking
water, coffee, juices, soups and other cooking uses, ice, pets, rinsing
vegetables, etc., never having to fear running out, even if entertaining
company! This high capacity performance also creates new opportunities
for light commercial applications, such as coffee shops, and beauty
salons, at the price of a residential system. Big innovation, bigger
opportunities.
The Merlin RO system wastes much less water than traditional tank-style
systems. Since there is no storage tank, there is no negative back
pressure exerted against the membrane. While tank-type systems may start
out with a 20% recovery (1 gallon treated to 4 waste), as the storage
tank fills, recovery efficiency drops to as low as 5% (1 gallon treated
to 19 gallons waste) when the tank is near full. Since the Merlin has no
storage tank, the membranes operated at the optimum recovery rate of 25%
(1 to 3) at ALL TIMES! See pages 21 and 22 of the Merlin Application
Guide (download below) for more details. |
