MESIN RO RAKITAN 17 STEPS - PENJERNIH AIR MINUM - DIY RO - MESIN AIR MINUM ISI ULANG RUMAHAN

Summary

In this video, the presenter demonstrates how to build a custom Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filtration system. Unlike typical commercial RO machines, the DIY setup uses six filters, including zeolite, PP, GAC, CTO, resin, and ultrafiltration, to provide superior water purification. The system also includes post-carbon, mineral, infrared, and alkaline filters for added water quality. With a larger Flow Restrictor and a unique UV sterilization design, the homemade machine offers an effective and customizable solution for clean drinking water. Maintenance is simple, and the system is best suited for PDAM water, though modifications are needed for well water.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video demonstrates how to build a custom Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration system.
• 🛠️ Unlike commercial RO systems, this custom setup uses six filters instead of the typical three, offering enhanced water purification.
• 💧 The system starts with water from PDAM (local water supply), which is already treated for impurities like sand and iron.
• 🔧 The custom RO system uses Zeolite, PP, GAC, CTO, Resin, and Ultrafiltration filters to purify the water.
• 🔬 Additional filters, such as post-carbon, mineral, infrared, and alkaline filters, further enhance the water quality.
• 🌿 The speaker adds a 5-in-1 filter to provide even more minerals and negative ions, improving the water's health benefits.
• 💡 UV light is used to disinfect the water after it passes through all the filters, ensuring the final water output is safe for consumption.
• ⚙️ Proper connectors are essential for linking components with different sizes, ensuring the correct flow of water throughout the system.
• 🌊 The system is designed for PDAM water, but if using well water, additional filtration for sand, iron, and manganese is recommended.
• 🔧 Maintenance is simple and based on periodic checks using TDS or pH meters. Filters should be replaced every six months depending on water quality.

Q & A

What is the main difference between the DIY RO machine and the commercially available ones?

The main difference is that the DIY RO machine allows the builder to choose the specific filters and components they want to use, unlike commercial machines which have a fixed set of components.

Why does the speaker prefer building the RO machine themselves instead of buying a commercial one?

The speaker prefers the satisfaction of building the machine themselves as it offers personal fulfillment, and the ability to share the benefits with others.

What is the sequence of filters used in the DIY RO machine?

The sequence of filters used is as follows: Zeolite, PP (5 Micron), GAC, CTO, Resin, and Ultrafiltration (UF). These filters are followed by post-carbon, mineral filter, infrared filter, and an alkali filter.

What is the purpose of the Ultrafiltration (UF) filter in the RO machine?

The Ultrafiltration (UF) filter serves as a finer filtration, with a tighter pore size (below 0.1 microns), to provide additional purification before the water enters the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane.

How is the UV filter in the DIY RO machine positioned and why?

The UV filter is placed vertically so that water flows from the bottom to the top. This allows for better heat dissipation when the UV lamp is on, as the water helps to absorb the heat, ensuring the longevity of the UV lamp.

What is the role of the '5 in 1' filter in the RO system?

The '5 in 1' filter combines multiple functions in one unit, including Alkali, Infrared, Mineralization, Ceramic, and Negative Ion filtration, to further enhance the quality of the water.

Why does the speaker use a larger Flow Restrictor (450cc) instead of the standard 300cc?

The speaker uses a larger Flow Restrictor (450cc) to accommodate the 100 GPD RO membrane, ensuring that the water flow is optimized for the system's performance.

What should be considered when using well water instead of PDAM water for the RO machine?

When using well water, additional filters, such as silica sand, carbon, and manganese filters, are needed to remove impurities like iron and manganese, which are common in well water.

How does the speaker check the performance and maintenance needs of the RO system?

The speaker checks the performance using tools like a TDS meter or a pH meter. If there is a change in the water quality indicators, it signals the need for maintenance.

What is the significance of the PDAM water quality for the longevity of the DIY RO machine?

The quality of the PDAM water is crucial for the longevity of the RO machine. If the source water is clean, the system will last longer. Poor quality water, such as high levels of sediment or chemicals, can affect the machine's lifespan.
