AWS CloudFormation provides a common language for you to describe and provision all the infrastructure resources in your cloud environment. CloudFormation allows you to use a simple text file to model and provision, in an automated and secure manner, all the resources needed for your applications across all regions and accounts.

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed, multi-region, multi-master database that by default encrypts all your data at rest to help enhance the security of your DynamoDB data. You can use the default encryption, the AWS owned customer master key (CMK), or the AWS managed CMK to encrypt all your data. DynamoDB now has added support to enable you to switch encryption keys, between the AWS owned CMK and AWS managed CMK, without having to make any code or application modifications to encrypt your data.

February 28, 2019: Amazon ElastiCache for Redis adds support for Redis 5.0.3. Redis 5.0.3 is a maintenance release which includes several bug fixes and minor enhancements. You can now stay current with the most up to date version of Redis and benefit from recently introduced capabilities such as Redis Streams (made available with the launch of Redis 5.0 on ElastiCache in November 2018 ).

You can now select any AWS Lambda function available in your AWS account from within the Amazon Connect contact flow editor. AWS Lambda functions are used in contact flows to customize the caller experience by pulling data from an external database, such as a CRM system containing customer information or a database containing order history. Previously, to add AWS Lambda functions into your contact flow, you had to grant permissions to execute AWS Lambda from Amazon Connect using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) and then open the AWS Lambda console to copy over the function ARN. Now, you can do both using drop-downs in the UI.

Amazon RDS Performance Insights, an advanced database performance monitoring feature that makes it easy to diagnose and solve performance challenges on Amazon RDS databases, support for the T2 and T3 instance types. Amazon T3 instances are the next generation burstable general-purpose instance type that provides a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst CPU usage at any time for as long as required.

Amazon Translate is a neural machine translation service that delivers fast, high-quality, and affordable language translation. Neural machine translation is a form of language translation automation that uses deep learning models to deliver more accurate translation than traditional statistical and rule-based translation algorithms.

Those who understand the importance of clean drinking water that’s contaminant free eventually arrive at an investigation of a reverse osmosis home system for improved health.

The popularity of home reverse osmosis water dispensers in recent years is due to the increase awarenes of local municipal water quality and the desire for higher quality water for:

• Drinking
• Cooking
• Ice Making

More and more people are becoming concerned about the chemical contaminants in their water and are no longer willing to accept it, especially for human consumption. The question then becomes, what is the best solution for the health and well-being of the family in a water filter for home  use?

Why Reverse Osmosis?

The question of Reverse Osmosis (RO) water comes to mind because of its evolution as the defacto standard for high quality industrial water where the removal of minerals contaminants is crucial, as in traditional printing and photo processing. But, even so, for drinking water home water filters  you also want to remove chemical contaminants.

This is why for human consumption, water travels through a pre-filter and an activated carbon filter prior to the RO filter mechanism, then stored in a short-term storage tank so that purified water is always immediately available right at your sink.

This multi-stage reverse osmosis filtration system will give you the highest quality drinking water on the market.

So… What is Reverse Osmosis?

Typically called “ultra filtration” in the industry, it is literally the top of the line in water filtration and treatment technology. RO has been around for quite a while, initially as a means of desalinating ocean water. It has become the most comprehensive and thorough system for filtering water for purified drinking water and commercial or industrial water filtration applications. It’s even used by most beverage plants whose business is bottled water.

Today, this advanced technology is available for home water filter use for the purpose of drinking, mixing beverages, ice making and cooking.

How Does It Work?

Basically, it’s a system whereby the water molecules are forced through a sub-micron-level, semi-permeable membrane through water pressure. These membranes are layered and wrapped around a central tube in a spiral wound membrane module. The modules made for home reverse osmosis water are relatively small and taken together with the other inline filters and the storage tank still fit under the typical kitchen sink.

Under pressure, water is forced through the membrane separating the water molecules from the unwanted contaminants. These unwanted substances are automatically sent down the drain as waste water and therefore don’t build up in the system as with most other filtering methods. The membrane stays clean for a very long time with a minimum amount of maintenance.Call 303.922.4383 today, to determine the best equipment for your home.
