WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS RATINGS & REVIEWS
Dear Russell,
The Next Filtration system with the pre-fillter flushing system that you installed works great. Now our water tastes good and the scaling doesn't accumulate or stick anymore and and is very easy to rinse and clean off. The water has a much softer feel to it. We are very happy with the system and would recommend it very highly. Your understanding of water and water treatment is impressive and you are on the cutting edge with a much safer system for the environment. Also got the impression that you stand behind and believe in your product from personal experience, The installation was excellent and prices - very reasonable - especially when compared to other similar products that would appear from my research to be not as good or proven as the Next Filtration system.
Thanks again,
Bill and Carol Garodnick
The customer service I received from Rswaterservice was exceptional. Russell was not only professional, but also patient with answering my questions and allowing me the time to make the decision (no pressure what so ever). I would definitely recommend Rswaterservice to anyone. Matter of fact, I was so impressed with the service, I have recommended his product and service to two other family members. Russell did the Next Filtration set up in one day as promised and did a very thorough walk-through with me. His job is very neat and clean. I know I have not seen any mineral build up. Thanks, Submit a Testimony: I have a pre-own water treatment system lost function and leaking. We call for repairing service. This job was done by Mr. Russell Bailey. I like his working attitude; he cleaned the dirt, and then diagnosed the damaged part. Replace them one at a time. That keeps the cost reasonable low and the system work perfectly good after repairing.
He not only did the repairing but also give his customer good lesson for maintenance and renewal knowledge of the water treatment. He is the man that you can trust; I will use him in future work if i needed. Allan Kejian Lan *

"Highly recommended. Installed my already purchased equipment at a great price and didn't try to sell me their own stuff. I'll definitely call them with any other water treatment work."

"Superb Service! Russell was the best workman I have had come to my house in a long time. He was professional and friendly. His prices were reasonable. I have had several people come to my house to try and fix that water conditioner and charged me al ot of money but didn't fix it. Russell seems very knowledgeable about the systems and didn' t quit until the job was done. Even though several kinks popped up, he made sure it was all running smoothly before he left. I would highly recommend him to anyone! "

"After a very frustrating experience with another service company Mr Bailey was a breath of fresh air. He was knowlegable and very professional. I appreciated his quick response to our call and was surprised that he had the parts needed within hours and the work was completed as promised the next morning. The best part was that the repair was 1/3 of another company's quote. I found R & S water services to be honest with fair pricing. Mr Bailey will be doing our annual service call going forward."

Hard water contains large amounts of calcium and magnesium — dissolved from the soil by rainwater. A typical water-softening system removes calcium and magnesium ions from hard water and replaces them with sodium ions. The higher the concentration of calcium and magnesium, the more sodium needed to soften the water.
Your local health department can tell you the sodium and other mineral content of your community's water supply. (Water naturally contains some sodium before it's softened.)
This information can help you determine the total amount of sodium your tap water may have before being softened. It can also help you estimate the amount of sodium (milligrams per liter) a softener adds to your water. Here's how:
| Water softener: How much salt does it add? | |
|---|---|
| Initial water hardness (grains per gallon) |
Sodium added to water by softening (milligrams per liter) |
| 1 | 8 |
| 5 | 40 |
| 10 | 80 |
| 20 | 160 |
| 40 | 320 |
One survey found that, as a general rule, an 8-ounce glass of softened tap water contains less than 12.5 milligrams of sodium. According to the Food and Drug Administration nutrient guidelines, this is in the very low-sodium range.
Reverse osmosis is a separation process that uses pressure to force a solvent through a membrane that retains the solute on one side and allows the pure solvent to pass to the other side. More formally, it is the process of forcing a solvent from a region of high solute concentration through a membrane to a region of low solute concentration by applying a pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure. This is the reverse of the normal osmosis process, which is the natural movement of solvent from an area of low solute concentration, through a membrane, to an area of high solute concentration when no external pressure is applied. The membrane here is semipermeable, meaning it allows the passage of solvent but not of solute.
The membranes used for reverse osmosis have a dense barrier layer in the polymer matrix where most separation occurs. In most cases the membrane is designed to allow only water to pass through this dense layer while preventing the passage of solutes (such as salt ions). This process requires that a high pressure be exerted on the high concentration side of the membrane, usually 2–17 bar (30–250 psi) for fresh and brackish water, and 40–70 bar (600–1000 psi) for seawater, which has around 24 bar (350 psi) natural osmotic pressure which must be overcome.
This process is best known for its use in desalination (removing the salt from sea water to get fresh water), but has also purified naturally occurring freshwater for medical, industrial process and rinsing applications since the early 1970s.
