How Reverse Osmosis Works
Reverse osmosis is a powerful water filtration process that forces water under high pressure through a semipermeable membrane. Only water molecules pass through, leaving behind dissolved salts, minerals, and contaminants. This results in highly purified water collected for use, while waste (brine) containing impurities is discarded or treated separately.
The RO process includes:
- Pre-Treatment: Sediment and carbon filters protect the membrane by removing larger particles, chlorine, and organic matter.
- High-Pressure Filtration: Water molecules are pushed through a 0.0001-micron membrane, rejecting salts and impurities.
- Wastewater Disposal: Concentrated contaminants are flushed away.
- Storage and Delivery: Purified water is stored and dispensed on demand.
What Does RO Effectively Remove?
Our RO systems effectively remove a wide range of impurities, including but not limited to:
- Fluoride
- Arsenic
- Salt
- Chlorine
- PFAS
- Heavy metals
- VOCs
- Microplastics
- Herbicides, pesticides, and more
