However, the question becomes... for how long? With proper pre-treatment, a reverse osmosis system will give you years of reliable performance and outstanding water quality. For Homes With a Private Well No two wells produce the same water. The chemistry can vary dramatically—from iron, manganese, and sulfur to bacteria, nitrates, and PFAS. That’s why US Water Systems follows the principle: measure twice, cut once. Before recommending a Defender™ system—or any solution—we strongly advise starting with a laboratory-grade water analysis. It’s the most responsible first step toward solving water quality issues the right way. A Smart First Step—At No Risk to You The cost of the Waterlogix™ test kit is fully credited toward any recommended system purchase. That means your lab-grade water analysis is essentially free when you’re ready to move forward—ensuring our solution is right the first time and allowing us to stand behind its performance with confidence. SHOP NOW For Homes That Pay A Water Bill Water from a municipal source has 3 primary and predictable waterborne contaminants that would be addressed prior to entering your RO system. These contaminants are sediment, chemicals such as chlorine, and limescale. .tab-1 { overflow: hidden; } .tab-1 button { color: white; float: left; border: none; outline: none; cursor: pointer; padding: 14px 4px; opacity: 0.34; transition: 0.3s; background-color: #1c3665; margin-bottom: 26px; position: relative; } .tab-1 button:hover { opacity: 0.8; } .tab-1 button.active { opacity: 1; } .tab-1 button::after { content: ""; position: absolute; border-width: 16px; border-style: solid; top: 100%; left: 50%; margin-left: -16px; border-color: #1c3665 transparent transparent transparent; opacity: 0; } .tab-1 button.active::after { opacity: 1; } .tabcontent { display: none; background-color: #e8ebef; } Chemical Removal Limescale Removal Sediment Filtration Bacteria Removal BodyGaurd Plus - Dechlorination System Protects the Reverse Osmosis Membranes Highest Quality Coconut Shell Carbon Bluetooth Operation and Monitoring 10-Year Warranty On Valve and Electronics Reduces Disinfection Byproducts, Chemicals, and Many Other Contaminants Anti-Scalant Injection System Prevents limescale buildup “Lighter” and Less Expensive than Salt Automatic Operation Food-Grade Concentrate Small Footprint Extends the life of the system Tool-Free DIY Service 5 Micron Sediment Pre-Filter Traps dust, dirt, sediment, and large particles Protects the system from wear and tear Double O-Ring Seal means zero contaminant bypass High capacity, industry-leading filtration surface area Stainless reinforced connections Made in the USA Pulsar Ultraviolet Disinfection System Final Step of Filtration Kills Bacteria, Pathogens, Viruses, and Cysts LCD Display and Bulb Status Bulb Change Indicator Lifetime Warranty on Stainless Chamber Behind the Scenes: Membranes Permeate Collection Tube Brine Seal Feed Water Concentrate Water Purification Network RO Membrane Purified Water Pre-treated water is pumped into the RO membrane at about 150 PSI As the water moves through the wound passages in the membrane, it’s separated into two streams: Permeate = Good Water Concentrate = Waste Water The treated water (Permeate) then flows out of the membrane through the collection tube and into the storage tank A portion of the wastewater (Concentrate) can be recycled back to the input to improve recovery, and the small portion remaining flows harmlessly down the drain US Water Systems’ Waterlogix ™ 4 x 40" High-Efficiency Membranes allow for industry-leading water recovery and total dissolved solids reduction Ultimate Filtration: Eliminating PFOA/PFAS and Beyond Contaminant Reduction Contaminant Reduction Algae 99.99% Mercury 98.00% Aluminium 98.00% Mold 99.99% Amoebic Cyst 99.99% Nickel 95.00% Arsenic 95.00% Nitrate 89.00% Asbestos 99.00% Phosphate 95.00% Atrazine 95.00% Pottasium 95.00% Bacteria 95.00% Protozoa 95.00% Algae 99.99% Mercury 98.00% Aluminium 98.00% Mold 99.99% Amoebic Cyst 99.99% Nickel 95.00% Arsenic 95.00% Nitrate 89.00% Asbestos 99.00% Phosphate 95.00% Atrazine 95.00% Zinc 97.00% Bacteria 95.00% Z, 4-D 95.00% Show More .expandable { display: none; } .fw-table .table thead tr th { font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; color: #fff; background-color: #1c3764; padding: 15px 30px; } .fw-table .table tbody tr td { font-size: 17px; color: #000; padding: 15px 30px; } function toggleRows() { var expandableElements = document.querySelectorAll(".expandable"); var button = document.getElementById("toggleButton"); expandableElements.forEach(function (element) { if (element.style.display === "none") { element.style.display = "table-row"; button.textContent = "Show Less"; } else { element.style.display = "none"; button.textContent = "Show More"; } }); } Simplified System Flow Diagrams 4000 GPD 6000 GPD 8000 GPD System Installation Requirements Minimum Requirements Water Quality City Water: Hardness treatment, chemical removal, and sediment filtration must be used for pre-treatment. Well Water: Requires laboratory water testing and analysis for recommendation with a performance guarantee. This is the only way to ensure proper system performance. Water Flow and Pressure The typical system requires a minimum volume and pressure to for nominal and efficient operation of at least 10 Gallons Per Minute @ 40 PSI. Give us a call to find out how to test this. Drainage Two (2) 1/2" air-gapped drain connections capable of handling at least 3 Gallons Per Minute. This can be a riser drain or a floor drain. Power You will require one (1) 220v connection on a 20A circuit. You will also require two (2) 110V connections on a 20 A circuit. Please contact a certified electrician to confirm your application supports this. Footprint The minimum requirement for door openings is 29" wide. It is recommended to ensure you have a open area at least 72" width and 30" depth with access to front and sides. Plumbing Material RO water can be aggressive to soft metals like brass and copper, while plastic plumbing materials are unaffected. If you have soft metal plumbing, pH adjustment is usually required to protect the infrastructure and balance the alkalinity. Still Have Questions?
