WHY REVERSE OSMOSIS

Why Reverse Osmosis?

Reverse Osmosis filtration has been around for a long time to provide us with drinking water, but can it be used to purify swimming pool water? The simple answer is, YES! RO is the best filtration and it was implemented with the belief that draining a swimming pool would be a thing of the past. Water conservation, less chemical demand, and a swimming pool that is cleaner, safer, and healthier for you and your family; ­all the benefits of maintaining your investment! The current drought conditions and emphasis on water conservation have served to solidify the need for systems that conserve large quantities of water and provide you with the best water quality to swim in!

Why hassle with pumping the water from your pool, paying for the refill, and then trying to figure out the complicated chemicals needed to re­-balance your pool water, when we can take care of it for you? In less than a day, Desert Pool Renewal can filter your water and lower Calcium Hardness (CH), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Cyanuric Acid (CYA), phosphates, salt, bacteria, viruses, etc., and provide you with a clean, fresh pool!

Make the call today to give your swimming pool the proper care it deserves and start enjoying the benefits RO filtration. You’ll be glad you did!

FAQ

The following are some of the most popular questions we get asked. These questions will help answer some of your questions in regards to our service.

How Does The Puripool Process Work?

Our mobile filtration trailer utilizes Reverse Osmosis (RO) to lower Calcium Hardness, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), salts, phosphates, Cyanuric Acid (CYA), waterborne diseases, and other contaminates from the swimming pool. The trailers are completely self-contained and run on their own power. Two hoses come from the trailer and one is attached to a pump that takes water from your swimming pool into the mobile filtration trailer. The water is pre-treated before it contacts the RO membranes and then pure water is returned to the swimming pool. Depending on the initial TDS reading, we can predict how long the process will take to lower the TDS and calcium levels to below what can be obtained from your cities tap. There is no downtime during the process and the interior finish of the swimming pool is never exposed.

How Long Will It Take Your Filtration System To Make My Pool Water Clean and Soft?

Currently, we are able to treat 40,000-gallons a day, to drinking water levels! Obviously, the size of your pool is the deciding factor on how long it will take based on this level. However, most residential swimming pools will take between 12 and 16 hours to complete and commercial pools take longer.

Is This Process Safe?

Absolutely! In fact, you can actually swim in the pool during the filtration process! There are no power cords or electricity in or near your pool, nor are they laying around for someone to trip on. An inch and a half hose with a Virginia Graeme Baker Act (VGBA) compliant fitting are placed in one end of the pool to draw the water back to the trailer for treatment and another inch and a half hose returns the clean (drinkable!) water back to your pool. That’s it! We are 100% self-contained and do not need to inconvenience you for electricity or extension cords or an outlet. All we need from you is a fresh water supply to replenish the small amount of water, approximately 15 – 20%, that is lost during the process. With that said, if you choose to swim it is completely safe!

My Pool Water Is Cloudy Or Green/Yellow. Will The Puripool Process Clean And Filter My Pool Water?

Even though the Puripool Reverse Osmosis (RO) System is capable of filtering and cleaning any condition of pool water to drinking water standards, we are not a pool filtering/maintenance company. It is the job of your pool equipment and/or pool service company to clear your water of suspended solids and algae. Our service is strictly limited to the chemical purification of your pool and the removal of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), viruses, bacteria, allergens, and waterborne diseases which your pool equipment is not capable of removing. As such, your pool water needs to be clear, non-turbid, and without the presence of algae.

I Can't See The Hard Water, So How Do I Know It's There?

If scaling has occurred that is the best way to know your water is hard but it isn’t always visible to the naked eye. Your best chance of seeing it is if you turn on the lights for your swimming pool at night. Typically, at night you can see them floating around your pool! Trust us when we say if you haven’t changed out the water in your swimming pool in two or more years, it’s there!

Does reverse osmosis lower cya?

Yes, it does! In fact, it does it exceptionally well.  This process can remove excess CYA (Cyanuric Acid) while the rest of the pool is processing and lowering calcium, salt, bacteria, viruses, phosphates, etc. We know of nothing that is capable of removing excess CYA as quickly or efficiently as a Reverse Osmosis pool filtration.
