The invention relates to a system and method of use for concentrating a solution that is eluted from an ion exchange process (elution solution) during an ion exchange regeneration using the osmotic pressure of the salt saturator. This method recovers solvent from the elution solution that could be used in a future ion exchange regeneration process. The concentration of the elution solution may include the precipitation and removal of solids from the elution solution.

A multilayer nano-cell includes an innermost water phase core including biomolecules in an aqueous solution; a first layer, including an oil phase layer encapsulating the innermost water phase core, thereby forming a water-in-oil structure, the oil phase layer including caprylic/capric triglyceride and macrogol-35-glycerol-rizinoleat; a second layer, including a water phase layer encapsulating the first layer, the water phase layer including hyaluronic acid, Cu-GHK tripeptide, palmitoyl-KTTKS pentapeptide, and hexapeptide argireline; a third layer, including another oil phase layer encapsulating the second layer; a fourth layer, including another water phase layer encapsulating the third layer; a fifth layer, including another oil phase layer encapsulating the fourth layer; and a sixth layer, including an outmost cream layer encapsulating the fifth layer.

A portable water conditioning system is provided that includes a water conditioner, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The water conditioner has a plurality of conditioning stages that condition water. The plurality of conditioning stages include, in a direction of flow of the water through the water conditioner, a reverse osmosis stage and a deionizing stage. The first sensor detects a first condition of the water before the reverse osmosis stage. The second sensor detects a second condition of the water after the reverse osmosis stage. The controller is in communication with the first and second sensors and determines a health status of the reverse osmosis stage based the first and second conditions. The first and second conditions each include a level of total dissolved solids of the water.
