As it was said at the beginning of the article, the membrane makes the water crystal clear, cleaning out both harmful and beneficial substances (minerals) for the human body. The water turns out almost like distilled, which is not good. So, in Atoll A-550m STD, after all the purification procedures (and there are 5 steps here), the water is additionally enriched with useful mineral elements. And the water becomes much more useful than after conventional reverse osmosis (membrane) purification.

Other useful features of the Atoll A-550m include a device for water iron removal.
