Reverse Osmosis
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse osmosis is a water purification process in which water is driven under pressure to a partially permeable membrane in order to eliminate unwanted contaminants and separate ions from your drinking water. Furthermore, reverse osmosis has the capability to eliminate microorganisms by cleaning it through molecular level, producing a clean, pure water.
How Reverse Osmosis Work?
In reverse osmosis, a pressure is being applied in order to move contaminated water through a filter. The contaminants are trapped into the refiner and only clean water can seeped out; providing purest water. The water undergo four stages of filtration. The process starts by pushing water into a sediment filter in order to eliminate larger particles and sediments. Then, it will pass through a pre-carbon filter to further keep away clogs to subsequent filters and prevent chlorine and chloramines to make it through the third filter. Water undergo reverse osmosis to remove lead, fluoride sodium and other minerals. Lastly, the water is polished by post-carbon filtration.
Why is Reverse Osmosis Beneficial?
Reverse osmosis can filter out up to 99.9% impurities or contaminants as small as .001 micron. It is highly recommended to have a reverse osmosis filtration system to ensure your drinking water is pure and clean. This is because tap water travels far from the plant to get to your home. It could possibly get contaminated along its way.
