ABSTRACT:
A reverse osmosis (R.O.) water purifier system that collects and stores pure water at low pressure and dispenses it at high pressure. Impurities left behind when the water passes through a R.O. module are disposed of by two methods: the fast flush method and the slow flush method. In the fast flush method, water entering a R.O. module may take two paths to escape therefrom. The first path constrains it to travel through a semi-permeable membrane in the module which filters out undissolved solids and which restrains the passage of dissolved liquids. The second path allows it to travel through the R.O. module, without passing through the membrane, thereby carrying out those impurities left behind by the water passing through the membrane. The purified water is directed to one side of a compartmented storage tank and the waste water from the module is directed to a control valve. From the control valve, the waste water may be directed through a restriction to a drain or it may be directed to the other compartment of the storage tank where the purified water is held. In the slow flush method, water enters a control valve, travels to the R.O. module, and has two paths of escape therefrom. The first path contrains it to go through the semi-permeable membrane in the R.O. module, and through a check valve to storage or outlet. The second path allows the water to escape through the R.O. module, thereby carrying to a drain the impurities left behind.
