How the Water Box works

The Water Box Reverse Osmosis (RO) System uses a semipermeable
membrane to reduce dissolved salts and minerals, improving the taste
and odor of your water. The RO membrane is made of layers of micron-
thin film wound around a hollow center core. Water molecules can pass
through the membrane, but dissolved salts and minerals are rejected.
The Water Box Reverse Osmosis System features 4-stage filter action.
Your water supply is pre-filtered to reduce dirt and chlorine that may
foul the membrane. The RO membrane separates this pre-filtered water
into PRODUCT WATER and DRAIN or REJECT WATER. Incoming water
pressure forces the product water through the membrane and into the
storage tank. Dissolved solids and other contaminants cannot pass
through the membrane and are sent to the drain as reject water. When
you open the drinking water faucet, product water is drawn from the
storage tank through an activated carbon post-filter, providing you with
cleaner, great-tasting water. For each gallon of water produced, several
gallons are discharged as reject water. The storage tank can hold up to 1
gallon of water at a time, for drinking and cooking needs.
Blue LED Light
The Blue LED light is used as a filter replacement indication light. The
batteries last about 6 months. This is about the same time filters need
to be replaced.
