Will R.O. remove Sodium from the water?
Most definitely, yes! RO or reverse osmosis was made for the navy so that seawater can be made drinkable. So everyone on a low sodium diet can use RO without any worries.
How does Reverse Osmosis differ from a Water Filter?
Reverse Osmosis differs from ordinary filters, mainly on the grounds of filtering percentage. Ordinary filters remove only insoluble dirt and particles, whereas RO has a semi-permeable membrane that removes the insoluble dirt but as well as dissolved contaminants.
How to Clean and Maintain SS Water Storage Tanks?
Inside the Tank: To clean the inside of the tank, let the dust, sand, and other impurities settle down at the bottom. Then open the tap, which is at the bottom, and all the impurities will come out. Soon you will notice that there is fresh, pure water coming from the tap, close the valve then. Do this every month.
Outside the Tank: Clean the outside of the tank with a brush or sponge and soap every six months.
The best grade for your water supply is:
SS 304: In case of RO/ Drinking Water & Corporation Water (TDS less than 500)
SS 316: In case of Borewell Water (TDS less than 2000)
Unlike plastic tanks that catch fire themselves under such conditions, a fire does not necessarily harm a stainless steel tank. Although continuous exposure to high temperatures may damage the seal, the good thing is that the seal is replaceable.
