Water Filters for UK Health Professional Practices

High quality, reliable units, specially designed for UK Practices.

Key benefits

Traditionally Health Professionals have used distillers to purify their water. However these are expensive and have various disadvantages - not least the cost of electricity which can add up to hundreds of pounds a year.

Or you might be getting de-ionised water delivered. That can be cheaper. But there's the hassle of deliveries plus the admin time in paying the regular invoices etc.

Our preferred method for purifying your water is Reverse Osmosis (RO). This is a highly efficient way of purifying water which has become an increasingly popular solution for UK Practices.

RO is a relatively quick easy one time installation that requires no electricity and removes a wide range of contaminants from mains tap water.

Cost

Many UK Health Professionals can end up paying many hundreds of pounds - or even more - for a new water purification system.

This certainly isn't necessary.

This special Health Professional's Reverse Osmosis unit that we offer you here will serve your clinical needs.

It's important to note that Reverse Osmosis is a process. It doesn't have "degrees of performance" - it either works or it doesnt... So if you are paying a lot more for one RO system over another you need to ask why.

(UV is a highly effective method of killing bacteria etc. But it is designed for non municipal water supplies. Adding it to an RO is completely unnecessary. The RO already deals with bacteria plus many more contaminants. But perhaps adding the extra UV helps justify a high price tag! )

More Information on Health Professionals Practice Water Purifiers

RO filtration gives you very high quality purified water. It removes just about every contaminant you can think of.

(Many dangerous contaminants, like bacteria, are taken out at the water treatment plants. However other contaminants get left in the water which RO will remove).

Be wary about buying a cheap RO.

While RO's do remove nearly all micro-organisms, cheaply made and/or deteriorating parts can greatly increase the risk of contamination through tiny leaks in the seals within the system.

The Issue of Waste Water

As part of the Reverse Osmosis filtering process about 70% or 89% of the water is rejected.

The "waste / rejected water" is automatically sent down the drain.

However please note that this is only lost from the water supply you are filtering - ie to your sterilising equipment and not necessarily all the water you use in the surgery - though you could certainly use the RO for drinking water aswell.

(This Health Professionals water filter also comes with a special filtered water drinking tap which you can place in your staff kitchen area).

It also comes with a post membrane demineralising cartridge plus a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) Meter - which measures the electrical conductivity / quality of your output water and helps you monitor the state of the crucial membrane filter.

Installing The System

Everything you need is in the pack.

It's very easy to install. No plumber is necessary - unless perhaps you have a complex autoclave system.

The unit feeds to a 1/4 inch diameter pipe (6.4mm). These are the standard size and most autoclaves will accept them with a simple quick fit connection.

(Please note we can supply adapters if necessary - free of charge).

Or you may want to hand feed your steriliser - in which case you simply use the special dispensing tap that is included in your kit.

When installing the unit you might need a plumber if your undersink pipework is different from standard. But this should be a simple, one hour job for them at most.

Otherwise it is all designed to be done by someone who'd basically competent at DIY.

Full instructions are included. It should take 20 or 30 minutes. You will need a normal electric drill. That's all.

And we've got friendly (and free) support available.

Replacing Your Filters

Like all water filters you will need to replace the filters on the system periodically to ensure maximum performance.

You need to change three of the filters every 6 months.

We send you free reminders.

The current cost for the full replacement kit is is £34.

Replacing these is very easy and will take a few minutes at most.

Please note that these replacement parts will be easy to find anywhere. This is an important consideration in a market where many entrants come in - often with specially made filters with unique replacement parts - only to disappear.

Our units use agreed industry standard size cartridges, membranes and other parts. So in the unlikely event of our disappearing, you will never be left high and dry. (We've been in business for approx 10 years).

Every 3 years or so you will need to change the membrane filter.

You will know when to do this by monitoring your TDS meter readings. (Full instructions are supplied)

The current cost of a new membrane is £79.

All the required filters are included when you purchase the RO system.
