METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HIGH WATER EFFICIENCY MEMBRANE FILTRATION TREATING HARD WATER

ABSTRACT The present concept is a method for the treatment of hard water using reverse osmosis (RO) membranes wherein the permeate of the membranes is fluid connected to the water source via pressurized storage as well as to the fluid connection for use, the method includes the steps of; providing a dedicated volume of permeate water directly fluid connected to the inlet of the recirc loop in order to reduce the conductivity of the water in the recirc loop at the end of production; and flowing sanitary fully pressurized storage of treated water from one end of the tank to the other, ensuring all surfaces of the tank are fully rinsed and storing water with low TDS, low pH (less than pH 7) and low TOC ensuring sanitary storage. 1 1 Date Recue/Date Received 2020-11-23 IN THE CANADIAN PATENT OFFICE REVOCATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AND APPOINTMENT OF ANQTHER AGENT To: The Commissioner of Patents CIPO, Patent Office Ottawa-Gatineau, Canada, K1A 0C9 Re: Application No. 3,063,650 The undersigned, Torrent Water Systems Inc., whose full post office address is 92 Roy Blvd., Unit 51 Brantford, Ontario, Canada email: kevinOtorrentwater.com, owner of patent rights in Canadian patent application/patent No. 3,063,650, entitled Method and Apparatus For High Water Efficiency Membrane Filtration Treating Hard Water, hereby revokes any previous appointment of agent in respect of the said patent application/patent, and appoints Mark A.
