RO systems operate by forcing water through semi-permeable membranes, effectively separating impurities. Over time, these membranes are prone to fouling, scaling, and microbial growth, which can compromise system efficiency. This is where specialized chemicals and ion exchange resins play a crucial role:
Preventing Fouling and Scaling
Antiscalants: Inhibit the formation of scale deposits from minerals like calcium, magnesium, and silica.
pH Adjusters: Maintain the ideal water chemistry, preventing corrosive or scaling conditions.
Enhancing Membrane Longevity
Dechlorination Chemicals: Neutralize chlorine and other oxidants that can degrade membrane material.
