This water is passed through a 9-stage filtration system, 3-stage sand filter, carbon filter, submicron filter and finally a double pass Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane prior to being used in the process. RO water is stored in bulk stainless steel tanks prior to use. These tanks incorporate ozone treatment of the water during storage to ensure water quality.
