Did
you know?
Reverse osmosis is the finest water filtration method known. This process will
allow the removal of particles as small as ions from a solution. It is used
to purify water and remove salts and other impurities in order to improve the
color, taste or properties of the fluid. R.O. uses a membrane that is semi-permeable,
allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting
other ions and contaminants from passing.
This technology uses a process
known as crossflow to allow the r.o. membrane to continually clean itself. This
is the reason of why an r.o. element can last many years before clogging or
need replacement. This
water purification process requires a driving force to push the fluid through
the membrane, and the most common force is household water pressure or pressure
from a booster pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving force and
efficiency.

the bladder wall.

bubble baths, powders or perfumed soaps, which can irritate and dry
the skin.

than a detergent. Rinse twice to remove all traces of the cleaning product.

your child's diapers when wet and immediately after a bowel movement.
Wash your hands before and after each diaper change.

child from front to back when changing a diaper or helping with the
toilet, and teach children to wipe in this direction. This may reduce
the spread of bacteria from the anus to the urethra.
- Dress
your child in cotton underwear and loose clothing.

older children to urinate whenever they feel the need.
